Different from my usual northern woods, a forest hike in Florida two years ago.

Today's garden. Yesterday's fog.

Orange leaves of Chinese dogwood and Azalea. And next year's bud on Rhododedron Nova Zembla.

To all my Bluesky friends. It's Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for your photographs, your writing, and your crazy cats. I hope you all have a wonderful day, whether it's Thanksgiving where you are or not. I love sharing time with you.

Sunbird

Paint your pretty lips,
My lovely,
You will never be
With all the paints in all the world
As beautiful as me.

She wears deception
Lipstick leaves dress as flowers
Her too small bloomlets
Yellow insignificance
Our eyes believe pretty lies

Leave your grand and glorious
Your ostentatious world roof,
Trembling and upthrusting.
I am immovable.
I do not quake.
Hullo @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social and to #promptcombo #onroofs
Love the theme, as great as Fidel’s from last week!

Nabi here: mom asks why I am in the sink. Because it's nice to curl up in for a bath. Where else am I supposed to wash? But NO WATER, PLEASE.

Over a harvested field of grain, this farmer sowed butternut squash. It grew prolifically.

He never collected his crop and eventually plowed over it. I don't know why.

Response to Sonnet 116

Supposed steady beacon
Emblem of constancy
Unwaivering guide -
But as the earth staggers,
Axis altering,
There will be new Polarises;
And, they too, will be
For a time
A fixed mark.
