Story-ALTtext⬇️

A painting of an eerie blue rabbit

The quote continues:

“having deceitfully offered Pooh admittance to sample his overstocked larder, artfully traps his victim in the doorway and exploits him as an unsalaried towel rack for an entire week.”

Many of us have been posting our own forms of sarcasm, satire, snark and silliness with respect to the state of things. Our protesting frog has not only made the national news, but has spawned brethern frogs who gather with him to dance and jeer.

I post on social media pretty regularly as part of my art practice and to create a scrapbook of my own life and adventures. But never have I ever engaged with so many people all around the world as I have with my snarky posts from "war ravaged Portland."

There is a sense of growing cameraderie and collaboration in the world; a rising tide of raised voices and elevated engagement which is building community and connection. From this tide hope hops and dances the jig! So I will unleash my unruly rabbits upon the world and let them insert a bit of "uh oh" in all who ought to be wary. Pretty sure I have a rabbit outfit that will be perfect for the next protest

Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road, VIC, Australia - Sunset light bathes the iconic limestone stacks in soft pink and lavender tones, as clouds drift across the evening sky.

#Australia #Seascape #Sunset #GreatOceanRoad #TwelveApostles

A long exposure photograph of the Twelve Apostles at sunset. Tall limestone stacks rise from the ocean, their rugged surfaces glowing with warm pink light. The sea appears silky and mist-like due to the long exposure, while dramatic clouds painted in soft pink and purple tones fill the sky. The cliffs on the right are illuminated by the fading light, creating a tranquil and ethereal coastal scene.

Is this a tiger moth caterpillar? I used to love seeing these as a kid. Heck, I'd be chuffed to see one now 😊🦋

Here is a macro photo I took of our last bi-color snapdragon in the front garden. The day was beautifully grey and rainy. Though there was no chance of seeing a tropical sunset, this flower held the might of dusk's glory in its misty face. This scoop of autumn sherbert glows against green peeps of background bokeh. Bending in for a closer look with my camera, I became enchanted by the perfect spheres scattered across its pink-red-orange-yellow petals. Within each crystal ball raindrop, a small universe of color and light. Their augury? My new 3-5-3 haiku:
