09 Oct 2026. A photo of one of the blooms on a Bird Of Paradise plant. It’s getting itself ready to “hatch” and unfold its beauty to the world. A softened background includes a wooden deck with chairs, a large brolly, and other miscellaneous plants and bric-a-brac.

“Strelitzia reginae (Crane Flower, Bird Of Paradise) is an iconic tropical plant known for its bold orange and blue flowers that resemble a bird in flight. This striking plant thrives in NZ conditions and adds colour, structure, and a tropical feel to gardens and containers. Ideal for borders, patios, and indoor spaces, it delivers long lasting visual impact.”

About five years back, a friend of mine had broken down a rather large plant in their yard and sold off smaller batches for a reasonable price. I nabbed a bucket o’ paradise, and it seems to be doing well in this part of the yard. Perhaps if I put it into a larger container (it’s in pretty good-sized one as it is), it’d get ever bigger and produce more blooms (this year, there’s three; last year was I think four). Or even planted it as opposed to being in a container. Alas, I’m in a rental and were I to move, this stunner is coming along with me.

Puzzled man stands between two haunted fields — one filled with dozens of small ghost figures, the other dominated by a single huge ghost; caption reads: It really was a toss up as to which field was more haunted.

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 12h

A Tranquil Scene on Lake Ashi, Japan, with Mt Fuji in the background. Dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, this photograph was produced from glass-plate negatives by pioneering Japanese photographers such as Kusakabe Kimbei or T. Enami.

A serene, mirror-like expanse of Lake Ashi (Ashinoko) rests in quiet morning stillness, perfectly capturing the crisp reflection of a traditional flat-bottomed wooden sailboat (wasen) in the lower foreground. The vessel's rectangular cloth sail and long wooden steering oar (ro) reach into the glassy water, where two seated figures in dark garments navigate the gentle current. Low, luminous bands of morning mist drift across the dark, forested ridges of the surrounding Hakone caldera. Rising majestically in the central distance, the snow-dusted, symmetrical peak of Mount Fuji floats above the horizon, its base softly veiled by cloud layers. Captured on a Meiji-era albumen print, the scene glows with warm sepia and rich umber tones that evoke an atmospheric sensory experience: the profound silence of an early morning mountain lake, the faint drip of water off a wooden oar, the crisp chill of alpine air carrying the scent of damp cedar and pine, and the serene stillness before the sun fully clears the surrounding peaks. Dating from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, this photograph belongs to the golden age of Meiji-era Yokohama-shashin (Yokohama souvenir photography), produced from glass-plate negatives by pioneering Japanese photographers such as Kusakabe Kimbei or T. Enami. Hakone was historically a pivotal mountain pass and barrier station (sekisho) along the famous Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo (Tokyo) with Kyoto. For centuries, travelers along the Tōkaidō paused on the shores of Lake Ashi to gaze across the water at Mount Fuji—a classic vista immortalized in ukiyo-e woodblock prints by masters such as Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige.

Rock @rjrock.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Wildflowers Tre Cime with the clouds moving through, and a patch of pink flowers growing right out of the rock beside the trail. Hard to beat a spot like this. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Fuji #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #LandscapePhotography

Color photograph in portrait orientation of a rocky alpine trail below a tall limestone tower. On the left, the tower rises almost to the top of the frame, its vertical face banded in tan and ochre with dark streaks, and thin fog clinging to its lower left edge. Behind and to its right, a second tower is half dissolved in cloud. The sky is blue-gray with soft, streaked white clouds, a small patch of blue at upper right, and a bright warm glow just left of center. A gravel path climbs along the left side toward the tower’s base. In the middle ground on the right, a stack of pale gray boulders with orange lichen patches juts out against the sky. In the foreground, a cushion of green plants and tufts of dry golden grass covers a rock ledge, dotted with small magenta-pink flowers, most densely clustered in the lower center.

The vertical format stacks the scene in layers: flowers, boulders, tower, sky. A low, wide viewpoint makes the tower loom over the small plants, and the path on the left leads the eye from the bottom corner up to its base. The warm ochre rock against cool blue-gray sky sets up a complementary contrast, and the pink flowers add a small, saturated accent that draws the eye first. The blurred, streaked clouds against sharp rock suggest time passing over a fixed landscape. The tension is between the delicacy of the flowers and the monumental scale of the rock behind them.

An old piece I had posted during my early days on Threads. Sharing for #vss365 #island #Oulens #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetry #BlueskyPoetry

I am an island exploded
into many — scattered
& constellated
archipelago —
in a sea of weathered soul.
There’s this one, monumental —
once home to an abode;
a few full of species — Darwin’s finches,
some yet to be explored;
a few laid bare — an exhibit of stones;
and those tiny dear ones,
one wouldn’t really care…
Some you touched.
Some drew your stare.
Some that you sneered at,
and the one
that scares you off.

C. Oulens

Horizontal orientation photograph capturing the moat surrounding the Forbidden City in Beijing. A distinguished corner watchtower and the red walls are perfectly reflected in the calm water. In the foreground, an elderly man in a dark jacket is fishing from the stone bridge, leaning next to his bicycle with a basket. Weeping willow trees with light green leaves frame the right side. Natural light emphasizes the geometric patterns of the traditional roof and the symmetry of the reflections. Optimized for Chinese imperial architecture, Beijing tourism, street photography, reflections, and traditional daily life indexing.
