Two of Us Two riders on a quiet road in South Tyrol, the whole valley to themselves. The cows didn’t look up. #EastCoastKin #Photography #ClassicMono #Scape #ColorADay #BWFri #ForestFriday #LandscapePhotography #Leica #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited
A black-and-white view across a wide alpine valley, seen from above a large open meadow. A narrow paved road curves in a long arc through the lower third of the frame. Two cyclists on mountain bikes ride side by side along it, small dark silhouettes left of center. Cows graze and rest across the meadow behind them, and a row of pale round hay bales sits in front of a cluster of dark wooden barns. Forested slopes rise on the right, dotted with steep-roofed farmhouses. On the left the valley recedes through ridgelines that fade into bright haze under a pale sky, with a faint contrail at upper left. The edge of a leafy tree enters at lower right.

A long S-curve of road carries the eye from the lower left to the small riders, then out across the meadow to the farm buildings and up the forested slope. The riders are tiny against the open field, which sets the scale of the valley and makes them the point the picture turns on. Side light rakes the grass and trees, giving the slope texture and deep shadow, while the receding ridges lose contrast with distance. The monochrome treatment reduces the scene to line, light and texture, and gives a working pastoral landscape a quiet, timeless character.

The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? - Ming-Dao Deng
Photo by Roberto Nickson. A black-and-white photograph of a moonlit seascape. The full moon hangs in the dark sky, casting a shimmering reflection on the calm ocean surface. Gentle waves roll onto the shore, their white crests standing out against the dark water and sand. The scene is quiet and atmospheric, with a sense of solitude and tranquility.

I agree it has a menacing quality. But I hear it more as urgency and even pathos

Happy forty-fourth day of summer to all who celebrate. This is "Alfred Sisley", part of the Artists Quarter of my rose garden. Sisley was an Impressionist landscape painter. I love the striping and splotches on this rose. 🌱 #rose #flower #flowers #garden #gardens

Black-capped chickadee fledgling, damp from its evening bath. #Cutie #birdoftheday #nature #wildlife #photography #birds
Color photograph of a black-capped chickadee fledgling perched on the edge of a glazed ceramic bird bath.  The chickadee is slightly damp and its feathers are fluffed up and sticking out. It is looking to the left and slightly up.  The background is dark brown and out of focus.

Pardon the hooplah, but it's been a long time: My new novel Kosha is officially coming your way. I love it and hope you will too. The amazing @naomialderman.bsky.social calls it "Nosferatu meets Generation Kill"; man, I love that. Huge thanks to blackstonepublishing.com & @brendandeneen.bsky.social.

Most of my #Roses seem to be over for now or, hopefully, getting their second wind but I spotted a lone rambling Cécile Brünner by the fence after I thought they were long finished. #MinimalMonday #Bloomscrolling #BlueSkyMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon #ECK #PhotographersOfBlueSky #DailyArt
A small blowsy pink rose in the shadows among the greenery of the plant where it is trained by a garden fence. Pale blue sky shows through between the leaves.
