A breathtakingly beautiful sunset in all shades of gold, bright orange, a few hues of a light grey with very light pinkish traces is taking place behind some old houses in a little village on the countryside on a late summer evening. On the left side some leaves of a tree are touching the sky. The clouds in the sky look like someone splish-splashed with great joy color onto the blue sky and painted some thick and thin streaks of opulence to the sky. Plain and simple a gorgeous spectacle of Mother Nature!

Records d'infantesa. Una barreja de nostàlgia i decadència. Les fires de pobles petits.

Here's a little bit of nightmare fuel as we head towards Halloween. 🎃

It's not the big spider that concerns me, it's all the little ones. 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️😁

#ColorADay #OrangeSun #stunday #photography #spiders

A very large female yellow garden spider sits in the middle of the web, which is much denser just behind her body and catches the sun rays nicely. Surrounding here are several other tiny spiders in the same web. Some dark leaves are in the shadows in the lower part of the frame, and the sun shines in from the upper right. Background is blurred greens and yellows.

Maybe the beauty of autumn lies in its honesty: nothing lasts, and that’s okay. 🍂

A tall, slightly leaning tree in full autumn color stands against a cloudy sky. Its leaves transition from green near the base to bright yellow and rich orange at the top, forming a striking gradient of fall tones. Dense shrubs and greenery surround the lower trunk, emphasizing the tree’s graceful tilt and glowing canopy.

Reach for your dreams, and, if possible, never give up. Dreams can, and do, come true.

And we will rise

Over love
Thru this iron sky
that's fast becoming our mind
Over fear into freedom.

"and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular..."

—from the Mary Oliver poem, When Death Comes.

photograph

macrophotograph of a white solemia flower with dark pink edges. lit by the sun against a pale green background. green leaves from the flower stem at the lower left of the flower. chosen for the poem's verse:
"and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular" from Mary Oliver's When Death Comes. it's a beautiful and very positive poem advising how to live joyfully
