Hello BlueSky! A note to say I’m taking time away from this wonder full place. You are such a kind and generous people, allowing me both the joy of sharing my expressions and the joy of experiencing all the creativity and humanity of this community. Thanks for the likes, reposts, and your visions.

I can hardly wait for the arrival of this kaleidoscope of colors… the redbud trees here in Portland should be in their full autumn glory in just a few more weeks!
#YellowThu #ColorADay #fallcolors #fallvibes #autumncolors #autumn #fallleaves #yellow #photography

Looking up into the inside of a redbud tree canopy in October. Light from the outside is illuminating the autumn leaf colors of yellow, orange, red and green. The leaves are abundant and overlapping their heart shapes as they dangle from a few spindly dark brown branches. Touches of blue sky peeks through in just a few very small spots. It all looks a bit like a kaleidoscope’s image.

The problem is that we are always looking for something special, something extraordinary.
We forget that our ordinary, everyday life is the real teaching."
-Chogyam Trungpa

Have a wonderful day folks, maybe you’ll find the magic in the everyday?

Septembermorgen...
im Nebel ruhet noch die Welt,
noch träumen Wald und Wiesen.
Bald siehst du, wenn der Schleier
fällt, den blauen Himmel
unverstellt...
Herbstkräftig die gedämpfte Welt
in warmem Golde fließen .

Eduard Mörike

Das Bild zeigt eine malerische Sonnenaufgangsszene an einem See, der von leichtem Nebel bedeckt ist. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein Holzzaun, auf dem mehrere Sperlinge sitzen. Ein weiterer Sperling sitzt am Fuß des Zauns im Gras. Im Hintergrund ist die aufgehende Sonne zu sehen, die den Himmel in warmen Orange- und Rosatönen färbt und sich im Wasser spiegelt. Am Horizont sind Bäume zu erkennen, und am Himmel fliegen weitere Vögel. Netzfund

Sorry, it’s like a collage. All photos, a total of ten, are blended into this one composition using Photoshop techniques. 🤔🤷‍♂️😀

There is so much artistry in nature where some flowers survive and bloom at extreme conditions - careful where you step!🙂

I was in Bratislava in 1970. It’s changed a bit! 😂 At the InTourist hotel I was required to stay at, the evening meal was ten tablespoons of green peas. No desert. Go Soviets! But later in the evening, the hotel workers gathered in the courtyard, got drunk, sang songs. It was most wonderfully human.

A stalk of white Hosta blossoms and large leaves against a black background. The Hosta leaves. The flowers are in clear focus while the leaves, further back, are blurred.

Looking up at a two story suspended turret on the corner of a brick building. The turret has windows and is decorated with gingerbread style ornaments, each colorfully painted. Below the turret there is a balcony with a decorative cast iron railing. Intense blue sky can be seen in the background.

Paintings Autumn’s first words
With its tiny feet…
