I can't get the images of the Kyoto cherry blossoms out of my head. I love the fluffy white blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful color. Kyoto Light Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2025 26 x 46 in www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/ky... #womenartist #kyoto #cherryblossoms #art

Even months after visiting Kyoto, Japan, to capture the cherry blossoms during peak bloom, I can't get those images out of my head. I want to capture the fluffy white nature of the blossoms and the feeling of being surrounded entirely by beautiful color.

Our gorgeous surprise dahlia: Show-N-Tell. Mystery bulbs given to us by a friend. This one turned into a 9” bloomer! #Bloomscrolling #FlowersonFriday

This beauty is the Bellingham Sundial Mural in downtown Bellingham, WA. If you zoom into where the lines in the center are, you'll see the dial is pointing to after 4:30 and it was about 4:45 when I took the photo. #photography #murals #streetart

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Once tRump is out of office, Congress should pass a law/amendment/whatever-it-takes to abolish the Presidential Executive Order. That is his major tool for destroying our democracy and nobody should have that kind of quick-pen power.

Sundahlia! This is such a stunner. Remains unclear whether it is Miss Amara or BQ Alan (first bloom looked like Amara, this one looks more like Alan) but WHO CARES LOOK AT IIIIIIIITTTT. 🌱

A gorgeous formal decorative dahlia bloom in shades of pink and peach.

I was invited to the T-shirt design reveal for the 2026 Cooper River Bridge Run 10K at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston SC. I noticed a cool pond on the way in and went to check it out when I left. I've never seen anything like this, hundreds of wading birds in the trees. Amazing sounds, #Birds

Pond surrounded in an arch by green trees with hundreds of white wading birds hanging out in the branches. Grayish sky above and reflected in the water with the reflection of trees in the background.

Green trees with branches filled with dozens of white wading birds.

Green trees with an Ibis on the top left, a Roseate Spoonbill on the middle right and another Ibis on the bottom left. Ibisis are white with long orange beaks and the spoonbilll has pink feathers on its wings and a white chest with a white head and yellow spoon-like beak.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I have had so many wonderful Big Poppa #hibiscus #blooms I figured it was time for his closeup. Look how good he looks slightly water-speckled. You can really see all the shades of red he has. If you like red this is the #flower for you. #macromonday #bloomscrolling #dailybloom

An extra closeup of a bright red Big Poppa hibiscus 🌺 dappled with droplets of water. So many shades and hues of red to be seen and just a touch of white. Even the pollen tip is fire engine red.

Some new birds are still arriving at Agami Island, where they are collecting nesting material and displaying for a mate. The first eggs were laid a month ago, so these are very late arrivals. We should start seeing chicks in the next few days. Agami Heron #birds #nature #costarica #herons

A tall, slender bird with deep blue wings, rich chestnut underparts, and a long, pointed bill stands among dense green foliage. Its neck features striking pale blue and white streaks, and a plume of long feathers curves elegantly from the back of its head.
