Evening regatta.

I was attracted to the pastels on this particular evening, which seemed to go really well with the regatta theme.

A lesson that evidently eluded millions of Americans.

It is most absurdly said, in popular language, of any man, that he is disguised in liquor; for, on the contrary, most men are disguised by sobriety. [Thomas de Quincy, “Confessions of an English Opium-Eater” (1856)]
In much the same way, many racists & bigots in the US pretended to be Republican.

Blossom in your own style,
Sing your unique song,
Beautiful just as you are…

The man is at war with Reality & deliberately disconnects himself from it when he doesn’t agree with it. Remember the Sharpie weather map, nuking hurricanes, drink disinfectant, don’t test for COVID, the wall Mexico was going to pay for, the beautiful health care plan? Read his trial depositions.

It was always a haven for bad people who are now unmasking themselves. Leopards don’t change their spots; but they can be good at wearing disguises. People don’t go off like unrefrigerated milk; & some “good” people act out their evil & “blame“ it (conveniently) on being “drunk.” Like Kavanaugh.

The water lilies are still looking stunning!

Thank you for the goodwill. Though we use different carriers—our USPS to your UPS, in a manner of speaking—I think we are agreed that gratitude is key to every good.
لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ
"If you are grateful, I will certainly give you increase (in favours) [Quran 14:7]
Calligraphy of these words:

O Lord, grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. #Compline

هذا خلق الله
فأروني ماذا خلق الذين من دونه

In Greenland's Scoresby Sund, a deep blue iceberg seems to glow from within as it is illuminated by the late afternoon sun, while glittering ice fragments float within its soft reflections.

I got to use a 100-500mm lens for a couple of shots yesterday. So a moon pic for today’s post

Life and death in a single image...

And death is but the end
Of each dream that must die
In that space beyond Time,
Where death is but a dream.

Bsky was this first thing I looked at when I picked up my iPhone today & this was the first post I saw. In the face of the dreary English weather I am facing today & the dreck swirling around these days; I am grateful to you beyond words for this reminder that orange IS beautiful, as is the world.
