Close-up of vibrant magenta-pink Christmas cactus flowers with multiple layered petals and visible stamens, set against a dark gray background. The segmented green stems show the plant's characteristic flat, jointed structure with small spines along the edges.

This is a landscape nature photo that I took after it snowed. A curved line of snow-covered trees follow the icy road winding up a frosted hill. The cerulean sky above creates a dazzling contrast as it fades into the white distance. To the right, trees cast their cobalt shadow across a bright snow bank. Despite the cold, I couldn't help but feel comforted, and standing amid its frigid beauty, my blue heart warmed. Dedicated to Winter's first gift of the season, here is my latest haiku: unending white blanket wraps us in snowfall

A Waltmarie poem written in response to several writing prompts. Black text on white background: barefoot in the soft green blades gently which grace my skin - humor vespertine - showing faintly gasping at the sensation myself ‘neath Hesperus, I tip-toe out and ignite the lights tender so that the faeries, too, will dance with me kindness #vss365 | #vespertine #foxprose | gasping at sensation #emoetry | #tender

Sometimes distance isn’t measured in miles at all.
It’s the span between what the eyes can gather
and what the mind is willing to imagine.

A recent photo of "Bloody Sky" (from Wikipedia: "Rangitoto is Māori for 'Bloody Sky' with the name coming from the full phrase Ngā Rangi-i-totongia-a Tama-te-kapua ("The days of the bleeding of Tama-te-kapua")" It was a tumultuous, windy day at Narrow Neck Beach near Devonport. The high tide didn't leave much room for beachcombing, and that was wonderful in its own way. The sky was capricious, moody, changeable. One moment bright sun, the next, dark and overcast, the next a mix of the two. Sitting on a bench on the concrete wall/pathway, I felt a sense of awe in the presence of Rangitoto, already mighty even tho' still young in age. The waters of Hauraki Gulf were choppy and churned, dark and gloomy as opposed to the at-times tranquil turquoise. The clouds above appeared as if the volcano was puffing out smoke from an imagined eruption in the making. As Bloody Sky breathed his clouds into existence, I felt humbled to be in such a powerful yet sacred space in this moment in time.

Threshold
Standing at the threshold while rain streams from the gutters and the smell of wet earth fills the air—this is what home feels like

#Autumn #rain #FallColors #StreetPhotography #Nature #Scape #Mood #UrbanGaze #写真 #風景 #Foto #Fotografia #SonyAlpha
View from a covered front doorway during rain: a mature multi-trunked tree with spreading branches frames a quiet residential street. Rain water streams steadily from the gutter overhead, flowing down past the tree trunk. The overcast sky softens the light, wet pavement gleams, and green-to-yellow foliage suggests early autumn. The wooden overhang creates a sheltered vantage point, capturing the cozy feeling of being safely home while rain falls outside—that moment when you can smell the rain on pavement and wet earth, breathing in the fresh, damp air.

This is a macro photo I took at dusk of our last summer peony. Soft pink layers of outer petals curve in and out of light and shadows. Fine points of focus create crisp edges that stand out amid the dominant bokeh. The way peonys slowly open, reminds me that it's okay not to rush. Our story isn't a race, it's an epic saga. This thought and image inspired my latest free verse haiku: scent of warmth sun's saga flips through peony

This is a photo I took of cirrus clouds and altocumulus clouds over a blue sky. Their wispy streaks feel like brush strokes behind rounded taps of sheer paint. You can feel the wind pulling this scene from left to right. As a child, adults and children bullied me for being different. My autoimmune disorder didn’t help the situation, because it kept me small, and we all know size is a shallow mind’s favorite joke. I used to wish that I would grow big like an elephant, and then I’d be impervious. Half-pint, shrimp, small fry, munchkin, baby doll, Polly Pocket, mouse, and the list goes on. But this is not my sad story. In fact, it’s another reason I love clouds. They have always made me feel happy, despite my size, or any size, beneath them . . . we’re all small. Inspired by our fluffy friends above, here's my latest free verse haiku: clouds tangle gazing up I like being small
