Hello BlueSky! A note to say I’m taking time away from this wonder full place. You are such a kind and generous people, allowing me both the joy of sharing my expressions and the joy of experiencing all the creativity and humanity of this community. Thanks for the likes, reposts, and your visions.

Thanks Page! They are sweet little things aren’t they? 💙🙏💛

I can hardly wait for the arrival of this kaleidoscope of colors… the redbud trees here in Portland should be in their full autumn glory in just a few more weeks!

The problem is that we are always looking for something special, something extraordinary.
We forget that our ordinary, everyday life is the real teaching."

Have a wonderful day folks, maybe you’ll find the magic in the everyday?

Septembermorgen...
im Nebel ruhet noch die Welt,
noch träumen Wald und Wiesen.
Bald siehst du, wenn der Schleier
fällt, den blauen Himmel
unverstellt...
Herbstkräftig die gedämpfte Welt
in warmem Golde fließen .

Eduard Mörike

Sorry, it’s like a collage. All photos, a total of ten, are blended into this one composition using Photoshop techniques. 🤔🤷‍♂️😀

"Nature's ikebana"

There is so much artistry in nature where some flowers survive and bloom at extreme conditions - careful where you step!🙂

I was in Bratislava in 1970. It’s changed a bit! 😂 At the InTourist hotel I was required to stay at, the evening meal was ten tablespoons of green peas. No desert. Go Soviets! But later in the evening, the hotel workers gathered in the courtyard, got drunk, sang songs. It was most wonderfully human.

Flower of the day. Siskiyou lewisia. Native to Oregon and northern California, known for its rosette of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves and vibrant, daisy-shaped flowers that bloom from spring to summer. Named by Lewis of the Lewis & Clark expedition.

Paintings Autumn’s first words
With its tiny feet…
