Sie war auf der Suche nach einem neuen Garten. 🌸 She was searching for a new garden. #eastcoastkin #flowersonsunday #bloomscrolling #stunday #ECK #macromonday #pinkmon

Mehrere Blüten einer Strauchmargerite mit kräftig rosafarbenen Blütenblättern und leuchtend gelben Blütenmitten stehen dicht beieinander. Die Blätter sind sattgrün und fiedrig. Im Hintergrund ist unscharf weiteres Blattwerk zu erkennen.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

Perhaps Raskin should have turned it around and said... "I have a question for you, Dana. Why is it that the media stays primarily mute with an authoritarian and corrupt president, who sounds mentally unsound most days, lies constantly, is in the Epstein files, and has started an illegal war?"

Title: Twilight Companions 🖼️ Style: Fine art photography with Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic influences Txs for the prompt & idea @brett-baudin.bsky.social 👍🏻 #AiArt #PromptShare #QP #SynthArt #AiArtCommunity

A fine art photograph with Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic influences captures an elderly gentleman with a gentle stoop walking alongside his loyal golden retriever on a tranquil beach at sunset. The man holds a weathered walking stick while his companion trots contentedly at his side, tail raised in quiet happiness, their bond evident in their synchronized pace. The man has rolled up his trouser legs to his knees and is walking barefoot through the shallow water. Shot from a low angle close to the ground, their silhouettes are positioned using the rule of thirds against an expansive sky filled with deep amber, burnt orange, and violet gradients as the sun dips below the horizon. Strong backlighting creates crisp rim lighting around both figures, while gentle waves lap at their feet and create shimmering reflections on the wet sand, embodying a moment of serene and timeless companionship, highly detailed, 8k

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Your independent bookstores put their money back into their local economies at many times the rate of the chains or tech giants. Authors would be lost without them. Support your local indie today (and every day).

Ein weitläufiger Sandstrand an der Nordsee mit flachem Wasser und ausgedehnten Schaumspuren, die sich am Ufer entlangziehen. Der Himmel ist teils bewölkt, aber überwiegend blau. Am Horizont ist ein Kitesurfer mit Schirm zu erkennen. Die Szene vermittelt eine ruhige, offene Küstenlandschaft.

Ein flacher Sandstrand an der Nordsee mit ruhigen Wellen, die an das Ufer rollen. Die tiefstehende Sonne steht knapp über dem Horizont und wird von Wolken teilweise verdeckt. Das Sonnenlicht spiegelt sich auf der nassen Sandfläche und dem Wasser. Im Vordergrund sind feine Schaumspuren auf dem Sand zu sehen. Der Himmel ist von hellen und dunklen Wolken durchzogen.
