If this is genuinely not AI and not Photoshop, then it is beyond disgusting. It is nauseating. And it does look real. It has that old photo patina

It is blustery today! Super high winds, while the temperature is going to be dropping dramatically. So...the most summery flowers I could find for Roses for the Soul to counteract the weather. I found all of these beauties here on Bluesky and gratefully combined them to make the collages.

Today's collages from Roses for the Soul: brilliant sunrises and fields of flowers. It's very cold here today, so this type of beauty is welcome. Most of these photos came from Bluesky posts and I am grateful for them so that I could create these collages for my friends

We are supposed to have a touch of ice on the roads this morning so Roses for the Soul needed some brilliantly summery flowers. I do think all of these photos were collected here from posts on Bluesky and I use them with gratitude.

Christmas card from a few years ago.

Christmas card from a few years ago.
No actual blossoms today from Roses for the Soul, but 3 lovely landscapes from the Indianapolis Garfield Park conservatory, where I head to soothe my soul from the abrasiveness of winter. (Despite the fact that Garfield the Cat is a Hoosier, he was not named for the park or vice versa!)

It is just bitterly cold here today, and the snow from Monday hasn't melted, so Roses for the Soul needs gorgeous landscapes and blossoms.

We are already sick of looking at snow here! So some brilliant color from Roses for the Soul directly to your heart. Today I found all of these gorgeous flower photos posted on Bluesky and use them with gratitude to create the collages for my friends.

Because it's so cold and snowy here, sending these lovely winter glass gardens and paths through the woods to Roses for the Soul. May they warm your spirit, too.

We had a lot of snow last night, so I'm sending Roses for the Soul some brilliant color and thoughts to offset all the white. I honestly can't recall whether I got most of these photos here on Bluesky or from some other sites devoted to blossom. No matter, I'm grateful to have them for the collages.

It's very cold here and we're expecting more snow tonight, so instead of snowy garden scenes, I chose really bright collages for Roses for the Soul. Just looking at photos of nature can have the same effect as being out in it, so may these lovely pictures brighten your day.

I believe it was Janet Nestor who shared this Gratitude Challenge. But lead up to the Christmas holiday is always a little rough for me, so I'm beginning it today, December 1st. Join me?

I can't recall where I got this, but I think it is the funniest Christmas card I have ever seen in my life.

Well, the threatened snow barely arrived, but boy! Is it COLD out there, with terrible winds. So, brightly beautiful flowers and auroras for Roses for the Soul; we need the beauty. Most of these photos were garnered and gratefully used from Bluesky posts.

found him a home, but but the foolish woman had brought him back and told me he wasn't a good cat. He lived another 6 years. He was a marvelous cat.
The unknown neighbor praised me for having taken Puff in and loved him.
But I was the winner in that whole scenario.

We are heading into a snowstorm here today, so I decided that Roses for the Soul desperately needed some bright spring flowers to counteract the weather. Lovely photos that were found here on Bluesky and combined to make these pretty collages.

We are facing a winter storm, so I wanted something very not-wintry for the Roses for the Soul group. Enjoy these lovely memes and flower photos. Most of these I found here posted on Bluesky and I gratefully use them to create these collages to lift hearts and spirits.
