It’s terrifying…

Yes! It’s that Sunlight thru rising waves…Many more famous artists -i.e. Turner-painted wild seascapes. But when we saw this, it just took our breath away. How is this not as well renowned as Turner’s work? Even if it was a one-off for a landscape artist, it deserves the same level of recognition.

😔😢😔💔…oh, for a way to erase the shadows’ memories, especially the ones that deceive us, make us believe times shared with someone were all wonderful...to rip away Time’s clouded rose-lens…and see them as they truly were…oh, to find a way to amend the narrative…and finally find a way for💔s to mend…

👏👏👏…but also 😢 & 🤬 Well said, Ray.💙✊

So much green, still!💚 Beautiful! 💚

How gorgeous & what fortuitous timing, with the single 🦬in the field below! This belongs in a National Parks Photography contest, hon. Seriously. Watermark it & try entering it in a competition, if you know of one - it’s truly a fantastic photograph/composition.🌈🦬 👏

Again, gorgeous…slightly less deep in this view (but that may be an optical illusion on my part🤔). I do love all the🌲, the green above & the rocks’ different colours & textures…& the river beautifully captured, snaking thru the bottom of the canyon it created over millennia. Fantastic photos, all! 👏

Absolutely stunning…👏

I’m such an eejit…It suddenly occurs to me that this Grand Canyon may have nothing whatsoever to do with the one in AZ…🫢Is this Grand Canyon of Yellowstone not a continuation of the one in AZ? If so, apologies for my mistake! It’s beautiful just the same-especially w/all those🌲🌲🌲on its steep sides.

Wow…As deep-surely-as the part of the Grand Canyon I saw in AZ (the tourist-y area, wh/has changed much-& not for the better-since I visited w/H1). The colours here are different-wh/makes sense, given the geology. Here the colours are more muted, but the depth & beauty still breathtaking.👏

This softer glow, blending up into Dusk’s pastels…with the framing silhouettes of trees, a glimpse of water…simply gorgeous. Nice to see you’re back in that special place. It always has an aura of serenity about it, which you capture so beautifully.🥰

Clearing Up, Coast of Sicily -Andreas Achenbach oil on canvas 1847 #art In trying to research something else entirely we came across this stunning #seascape #painting The #sun glowing thru turbulent #waves is simply gorgeous. Here’s more about this #landscape #artist en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas...

This scene of a stormy sea, with huge waves being “backlit” by the rising Sun, is nothing short of spectacular. Though enormous, dark clouds dominate the right side of the sky, it is that cloud-hidden, rising Sun on the left which, in illuminating the waves, seems to offer hope of - literally - a sea change eventually. How Achenbach was able to achieve almost translucence in the “wall” and tips of one particular wave just to the right of centre is beyond our ken. Scattered across the skies are the arcing wings of many seabirds in a chaotic sweep above the stormy waters. Wish we could have found a better resolution image, but this was all on offer in the Wiki article. If you happen to live near Baltimore in Maryland, US, this beautiful artwork is said to be in the Walters Art Museum there. -💞

🫂💜Precious Lady. Those who pass thru here are a patient lot. Take such time as you need in your sorrow. Wishing you strength…a future that may yet hold for you a brighter ‘morrow. 🥀…🌧️…🌹~M💞

What an amazing almost panoramic view! T, You really know how to capture the beauty of even a vast & varied expanse such as this, with all its colourful features.👏

It’s clear how this place got its name: wow!🎨 🖼️😃👏

I can think of several ppl who (the🌎) would benefit from being tossed headfirst into that mud bath…Not namin’ names but I think you can guess at least a few of ‘em…😉🤭💙 #Resist #VoteBlue (Sorry for interrupting your feed with this PSA. We now return to your regular programme) What a D-Oozy of a pic!👏

What a gorgeous first line…even by itself, pure poetry.~💞👏✨

The Net #poem ~Sara Teasdale I made you many and many a song, Yet never one told all you are- It was as though a net of words Were flung to catch a star; It was as though I curved my hand And dipped sea-water eagerly, Only to find it lost the blue Dark splendour of the sea. #ClassicPoets

Free image (not our photo) or a deep blue Night Sky over an equally dark blue sea, with low mountains silhouetted on the horizon. In the sky are the circular trails of stars, as one might see in a time-lapse photograph of such a night. There are only many concentric rings of their light above the placid blue waters. As in Sara Teasdale’s beautiful poem, one cannot capture the stars themselves... And as anyone who has cupped their hand to hold water from the sea, it loses its wondrous colour in the palm of your hand…
As neither Mischa nor I are able to ✍️at this time, I post this poem from one of my favourite poets…These are lines I wish I had written myself, for the Beloved Poet with whom I am inexplicably yet inexorably bound…Whose beauty and wonder I cannot possibly capture in words… ~tam💞

More #Violas amb bought many of these wee #flowers While some were planted in our front #garden these were potted in 2 faux terracotta planters on the small #patio out back. More food for🐝as we try to #Garden4Wildlife Note the vivid blue one in the bottom pot! #bloomscrolling #photography -amb

Two faux terracotta planters filled with a variety of lovely Violas, which - as we said in our recent post of ones planted in the front garden-are like tiny Pansies in shape & petal formation. They’re all good for overwintering bees, especially as we’re now getting cold weather & bees’ food sources are scarce. These came in a multitude of colours: from all purple ones, to purple/yellow & even one vivid blue one in the bottom planter (lower lefthand side). amb does what she can to keep at least some things going for wildlife & buying a plethora of these pretty Violas on a deal at one of our local grocery’s garden shop seemed just the right thing to try again-last year she did something similar, only with both Pansies & Violas. Bees are in sharp decline globally due to manmade effects on the earth’s climate, as well as so many habitats being destroyed for either building or money-making profit. Please, if there is anything you can do to help the wildlife in your area, please try. A pot of flowering plants like these can prove a lifesaving pit stop for hungry bees. A dish or tray of fresh water set in shade (if your weather is currently hot) can make such a difference to both bees-which DO need to drink as well as find nectar & pollen!-& birds, who need water to drink & to bathe in on a daily basis. If you put out a dish or tray of water, be sure to add a couple small rocks so that bees & small birds have a way to climb out & escape. Keep the dish clean & freshen water daily. A birdbox &/or bee hotel, placed up high & out of direct Sunlight gives shelter & places to breed. Even if you don’t have anywhere to do these things, maybe there’s a barren spot of land nearby where you might scatter some wildflower seeds. They do well in poor soil, actually & again their eventual flowers & grasses might make such a difference to so many forms of wildlife. Please Garden For Wildlife if you can.🙏~💞

#Moon & #Flowers - William #Morris #textile design #art This seems more like a painting than something for fabric. What a gorgeous scene Morris created here-1 of many Moon-themed designs. We chose this one for the #Autumnal colours in its framing border of🍁 #leaves & blooms before a huge Full Moon…

Beneath a large Full Moon in a deep turquoise night sky, Morris has created a rich scene: a foreground of symmetrical layered hillsides form the base of a border at the bottom, made up of fallen Autumnal leaves amidst many daisy-like flowers that seem to grow up the length of the two bare trees on either side. It makes such a beautiful “window” to the scene beyond: faraway, dark slopes topped with what look like short-needled fir trees in silhouette. At this point all trees seem leafless or spare, even the distant evergreens. And yet, in the forefront there’s Life in all its Seasons of rich beauty, forming that lovely “frame” that starts with the bed of colourful Autumn leaves below mixed with tiny flowers, continuing upward on both sides with many more flowers, everything done in such rich colours and detail…Even the night sky is an unusual shade of turquoise, with its strata of misty clouds and several tiny white-dot stars all beautifully lit by the enormously Full Moon, which itself is partly hidden by silhouettes of bare branches and glimpses of flowers that seem transparent and golden against its bright light. How Morris imagined this for use in textiles We do not know. It is, as said, one of so many Moon and flowers (or simply Moon) designs he created, many of which were advertised on posters for an exhibition of them. We would gladly have this as a large print on our wall, so beautiful it is. ~💞

Thank you! They look like giant asparagus spears to me, only with bright pink flowers springing out from behind the “closed” stem leaves!😂But amb wanted to grow them-this is the 2nd yr, tho they’re coming up & blooming kind of late…just in time for🥶weather…😳🫢

Hey, Lisa, you wrote a poem about a 🐌 - I❤️🐌!! - and made me😂at the same time! 🤗 Thank You!!! 👏 (Sorry I forgot to include the😂in my original reply🤭).

I never knew Jackdaws could be beautiful, Eddie. But this photo of yours, showing shades of light blue feathers, has opened my eyes. Lovely portrait! 👏

What a sad, too often ugly & dangerous world we live in lately: always having to carefully navigate our way-just trying desperately to stay free from harm…You have evoked that sense of fear so many of us constantly live with vividly.😢💔-tam💞

Beautiful Ray.👏✨~💞

3 stems of #Gladioli #flowers tied to bamboo sticks: wind nearly left them flat! Their huge bright pink #blossoms hold vital food for🐝as🥶weather starts. In the background is a dense #Cotoneaster #shrub -a #Garden4Wildlife in itself-providing🐝flowers & #berries for🐦 #bloomscrolling #photography -amb

amb just managed to save these 3 stalks full of blossoming Gladioli (that’s the plural 🤷‍♀️) from being toppled by windy weather we had recently. Their huge, bright pink flowers are emerging later than usual - no doubt due to the bizarre changes in climate we’ve experienced in the last several months, with many heatwaves &, still, drought. But they will help feed overwintering bees & other pollinators. Behind them is a thicket hedge dividing our path from our neighbours’. Cotoneaster grows rapidly & must be trimmed frequently. But what it gives back in a plethora of tiny white flowers for bees, then a multitude of red berries (loved by Blackbirds especially) is such a boon to wildlife, as well as providing a dense hedge border in which there are many insects for birds to find & eat, too. Please, if you can do anything to help the wildlife in or near where you live, please do so. They need all the help they can get, especially in places where extremes of weather + man’s harmful influence, are hitting global habitats hard. Please Garden For Wildlife, however you might be able to.🙏~💞

Nowhere near on a par w/your photos, but at least I was lucky to have that blue sky & some colours in the trees! Thank you!🥰

A huge Lake as well?! (Yes, we did catch a glimpse of it in your other photo). Yellowstone is rich w/so many beautiful geological features. We never have dreamed it had lakes & rivers as well as all those thermal springs. Thank You for giving those of us who’ll never get to go there the Grand Tour!👏

The colour of that water is extraordinary: a pale, milky aquamarine. We’ve never seen anything like some of these waters you’ve been capturing, but this Spring is especially beautiful… 👏

There seem to be hot springs all over the place there! We trust you kept your distance😉although this one looks mighty close…😳🫢 And the rivers winding all thru, as well…amazing place.👏

Wow! So gorgeous: the colours-so many!- soft yet vivid (if that makes sense, which it doesn’t seem to, but…) This is like a misty watercolour painting, somewhat ethereal in nature…👏🥰

Oooh, this is truly beautiful, the light glancing off the water, the arcing turn of the river’s trail further on, the strata of clouds amidst blue skies…textures all along the shoreline. Beautiful!👏

Gorgeous view, John! And once again, you caught me out, having to double check this was indeed a photo & not one of your brilliant paintings.😊👏 (It would make a good one, tbh…)

Oh, this is beautiful, Lisa & one we’re sure so many ppl -including ourselves -can relate to.🥹…🥺👏🫶

Yes, well…Welcome to Our World.😉✨~💞

Ummm…mmmm…hmmm…*sigh*… Oh, Ray…🥹…✨
