Foggy sunrise this morning. Cascade foothills. Portland Oregon. 🩶☀️

Foggy sunrise. Dark landscape, with a blurry tree-line with lifting fog, creamy yellow light with tree silhouettes, dark band of clouds, the sun partially exposed above, cream yellow sky and clouds above.

The Crow
As she leads your soul through the dark
You know that she came to break your heart
But oh, when she moves you fall in love again
And she spreads her wings when she's gonna fly
- Hurts

Crow shot taken a few weeks ago. The Crow was against a white wall, so i added some texture for the background.

This photo captures a thread-waisted wasp hanging delicately by its mandibles on a slender stalk against a soft, blurred green background. The wasp, with its striking yellow and black markings and long, narrow waist, clings securely yet appears suspended in a moment of fragile balance. Its legs dangle freely, emphasizing the slender thread-like support it relies on. The composition evokes a sense of both vulnerability and resilience, highlighting the delicate interplay between strength and fragility in nature. The image invites viewers to reflect on moments of perseverance and the beauty found in precarious stillness.

'Right This Way...'

A spider basking in the glow of the afternoon sun, a sign to say this is a Public ootpath, a path you get oot of!

This photo is a close-up, eye-level shot of a green public footpath sign, almost entirely obscured by a large spider web. The sign is positioned on an angle, with the top left corner closer to the viewer than the bottom right. The vibrant green background of the sign is contrasted by the slightly raised, white letters spelling out "Public" on the first line and "ootpath", the 'F' obscured by the post, on the second. A prominent, brown-and-white orb-weaver spider is positioned in the center of its intricate web, directly in the middle of the letters "ootpath". The spider is likely an European garden spider, also known as a cross orbweaver, which is common in the UK and has a distinctive white cross-like pattern on its abdomen. The spider's legs are spread out, with its two front legs appearing to be holding onto the sign's surface, while the rest are carefully placed on the web's silken threads.
The spider web is a masterpiece of natural architecture, a classic orb web with a strengthening spiral and a series of radial threads that glisten slightly, catching the light. The web is dense and appears to be well-maintained, indicating the spider's readiness to catch its next meal. The background of the image is out of focus, a blur of earthy greens and browns, suggesting a wooded, natural environment typical of a public footpath. This depth of field draws the viewer's attention to the sharp details of the spider and its web, highlighting the unexpected juxtaposition of a man-made sign and a natural predator's carefully constructed trap. The overall lighting is soft, creating a calm and somewhat ethereal mood. The photograph captures a small, yet remarkable, moment of nature thriving in a space designed for human passage.

"We are and will be dust.

Not air, not fire, nor water
but
earth,
only earth
we will be
and maybe also
some yellow flowers."~~Pablo Neruda, 'Ode To Some Yellow Flowers (Full poem in Alt Text)

#ImageAndVerse #SundayYellow #Bloomscrolling #Photography #EastCoastKin

A Marguerite Daisy. Its petals are yellow with subtle pink tips.

"Ode to Some Yellow Flowers" by Pablo Neruda:
Against the blue moving its own blue,
the sea, and against the sky,
some yellow flowers.

October arrives.

And though it may be
so important for the sea to unroll
its myth, its mission, its yeast-like inspiration,
there explodes
over the sand the gold
of a single yellow plant
and your eyes
are fixed
on the ground,
they flee from the great sea and its rhythms.

We are and will be dust.

Not air, not fire, nor water
but
earth,
only earth
we will be
and maybe also
some yellow flowers.

By the
#Glow
of the
midnight moon
I take my rest
to ease my feet
&
also my mind
but
I toss
&
I turn
unable to sleep
If only this bench
were a
bed
with a rest
for my
head
&
I
could forget
the words
that she said
when
I
refused
to turn back
&
see
the
tear in her eye
