Mist on the meadow, Dawn through the trees, I hear the earth’s soft reckoning in every turning breeze. Moss on the riverstone, Light on the hill, I love the world for asking naught, and loving me still. #vss365

Willow and Crows Yanagi ni karasu zu 柳に鳥図Attributed to: Katsushika Hokusai 1841 (Tenpo 12) MEDIUM/TECHNIQUEHanging scroll; ink and color on silk DIMENSIONSImage: 84.7 x 42.5 cm (33 3/8 x 16 ¾ in.) Overall: 193 x 68 cm (76 x 26 ¾ in.) CREDIT LINEWilliam Sturgis Bigelow Collection

Cascading down from the upper left, the gossamer tendrils of a weeping willow (yanagi) frame a dramatic, tumbling flock of crows (karasu) in mid-flight. Rendered in masterly sumi ink on silk, the painting captures twelve birds descending in dynamic, acrobatic spirals—their wings banking, swooping, and fanning open with astonishing kinetic force. Hokusai employs a breathtaking range of ink tones, from the velvety pitch-black of primary wing feathers to translucent slate-grey washes detailing underbellies and open, cawing beaks. The image evokes a vivid sensory atmosphere: the sharp, cold rustle of autumn wind whipping through slender willow branches, the raucous, reverberating calls of crows gathering at twilight, the faint scent of aged ink and silk, and the palpable rushing of feathers cutting through damp evening air.
Created in 1841 (Tenpo 12) during the final, triumphant decade of Katsushika Hokusai’s life, this hanging scroll (kakejiku) bears the signature of the octogenarian master operating under his late artistic moniker Gakyō Rōjin Manji ("Old Man Mad About Painting"). Now housed in the William Sturgis Bigelow Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the work stands as a supreme masterwork of kachō-ga (bird-and-flower painting). Hokusai’s lifetime of relentless anatomical observation and brush experimentation allowed him to capture the illusion of instantaneous movement with effortless spontaneity. Executing such complex, fluid brushwork directly onto delicate silk demanded absolute technical mastery, as silk absorbs ink instantly without allowance for correction—a pure manifestation of monozukuri (artisanal discipline and supreme material craftsmanship).

🌳 Revue horticole.. Paris: Librairie agricole de la maison rustique, 1829-1974.. [Source]

Illustration of a Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora with a single tall stem supporting a dense cluster of flowers. The flowers have large, rounded petals with pale pink and cream tones, some tipped with darker pink. Smaller, tightly packed buds and tiny star-shaped flowers form the central part of the cluster. Below the flowers, several pairs of large, green, veined leaves extend along the stem. The illustration is detailed, botanical in style, and set against a plain beige background. The text "Revue Horticole" appears at the top left, and the botanical name is handwritten at the bottom.

Bergen Havn (Port of Bergen) during the Fjordsteam 2026 Festival. Bergen, Norway, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #UrbanGaze #AOFoto #SensoryArt #Wheel #ColorADay #YellowThu

This image shows the Bergen Harbor during the midst of the Fjordsteam 2026 Festival, a celebration of Norwegian maritime culture. In the foreground, we see a corner of a dock, including a rusty chain and part of a rubber tire used as a bumper. In the midground is the water of the harbor filled with reflections of a few of the many boats visiting Bergen for the festival. In the background we see the boats themselves along with another dock and rubber tire bumpers. Beyond that are the multicolored buildings of downtown Bergen, which continue up into the surrounding green hills. The image is finished by the appearance of the cloudy summer sky above the entire scene.

This poem breaks me open every time.

Rain Light

All day the stars watch from long ago
my mother said I am going now
when you are alone you will be all right
whether or not you know you will know
look at the old house in the dawn rain
all the flowers are forms of water
the sun reminds them through a white cloud
touches the patchwork spread on the hill
the washed colors of the afterlife
that lived there long before you were born
see how they wake without a question
even though the whole world is burning

-W. S. Merwin

I find photographing flowers very uplifting. When I was younger, doing creative work helped me cope. These days it feels much lighter. (I guess it worked?) Passiflora 'Susan Brigham' under UV light.

yes, and so it took a little imagination a hunger and a whole lot of heart then, when the blue finally broke through the gray and opened wide against the sky it was bluer and vaster then we could have imagined #photography #blueskies
