Sharing some light and warmth with you; fire magic
A view of our fireplace this evening: the flames dance around a large pine log, flaming rather brightly and flame-rich. The rich oranges brilliant against the dark iron anions

Puppy Update: Cosmo is very happy and interested in the world around him
a mostly white dog sits on a bed, longingly looking out the window. the bed is covered in multicolored fleece blankets. The dog is also very highly charged with static electricity, but it doesn't appear in this image

If you see this, quote post with a beach from your gallery
Liam the dog on the beach in Pāi'a Maui Hawaii: a dark brown brindle dog with a chestnut eye looks at you in the bright light of Maui sun. The warm beige sand and turquoise waters under an azure sky lie beyond the dog's friendly smile

Many branches, one "tree". A single pepper plant in my garden gave us so many peppers! Hoping to turn these into a floral decoration... what shall it be?!
A dining room table is covered with brown paper and on it are branches from a pepper plant. The branches have symmetry, wilting dark green leaves and peppers of all shades from green through yellows into orange and even some of the older ones are red!!

The Ukrainians deserve better; Americans deserve better... Time for real change

(Cosmo and I paused for a walk beside my neighbors' Ukrainian flag. If I thought prayers would help, I'd pray for the Ukraine! To the spirit of my Lithuanian stepdad; please help these people!)

Sharing some quick love and lovingkindness with you all, via some brilliant #flowers from the garden this morning.
A purple passionflower caught in the rays of the rising sun. The shades of violet and lavender are created by intricate cell combinations. The interesting structures in the middle are the male and female reproductive parts, the former being longer in shape and lower on the structure. Labrynth dahlia, in shades of Garnet and deep burgundy. The leaves in the background show the wear of a moist summer. We are always battling back the dewy mold. A bright yellow "peaches and cream" Dahlia shines in the morning Sun. It is mostly bright, yellow and shade with touches of a deeper orange. You can see the garden in the background.

Bright blue skies and resistance to the hypocrisy; loving Annapolis this afternoon.
A photo of an overpass (in Annapolis, MD) over RT 50 that says: BE BRAVE SPEAK OUT!! A green street sign says: Ridgely Ave.

A selection of images from the garden today; I hope they bring you some joy. Let's keep speech free, while using it to be rational and spread kindness.

Some flowers from my garden to bring you some joy
A small, fragile purple Passiflora edulis blossom rests against a metal fence. The blossom has intricate structures in shades of purple and lavender, this particular one has open anthers and lots of yellow pollen A "cafe au lait" Dahlia in the setting sun. This flower has many cream colored petals that darken towards the center. I've grasped the flower at the stem to turn its face into the sunlight A lovely sunset colored dahlia

Meditating on all the cycles of hurt, suffering, lashing out, grief, loss, acceptance, healing, forgetting, indifference... How to we stop the patterns that don't serve us? Kindness is a good place to start.
A "micro lotus" leaf unfurls above the water it resides in. The tiny but perfect leaves resemble waterlily pads and the water is clear but deeply pigmented from tannins

Please enjoy these beautiful summer flowers while not being distracted by the ever ratcheting hellscape from important things, like refunding science and releasing the Epstein files
A bright bouquet of summer flowers including: yellow tithonia, golden rudbeckia, orange and pink dahlias, and some celosia in pale or zazzy pink! (yes, it's a reused Marshmallow topping glass jar)

A fantastic native-to-the-Chesapeake hibiscus ... this power performer has been churning out blossoms for two weeks now!!
A pure white hibiscus blossom is in the center of a green backdrop (from the leaves and grasses). The blossom itself is crepey with lots of delicate lines and wrinkles. A blood red color marks the center where a long structure has both the male and female parts of the flower

#Flowers make people happy... here are seven of the first #Dahlia blossoms to come from the #garden this year. I hope these cheer you and add to your portion of happiness today.
A bouquet of dahlias is held in front of the viewer... most are a peach color with light lavender towards the tips. One is smaller and golden. While, one is cranberry and spikier.
