Love is that to life what wind is to a wind mill (Kazi Shams)

Wishing you a great new week

#MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon #sunset #sunsetlovers #photography #landscape #scape #nature #thelittlethings #photohour #ImageAndVerse #EastCoastKin

The picture shows a mountain range after sunset, dominating the horizon. Several wind turbines can be seen as silhouettes on the mountain peaks. The sky is bathed in bright pink tones that transition into dark clouds. The scene conveys a calm and powerful atmosphere, blending nature and modern technology.

My entry for #BlueSkyMonday is an Irish #Rainbow ps. don’t any of you be thinking you can come over here to steal Irish gold. Our Leprechauns will kick your ankles 🍀 #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin

A vivid rainbow arcs across a softly glowing peach-coloured sky, its bands of colour clear and bright. In the foreground, the dark, twisting branches of a leafless tree stretch upward, their intricate shapes contrasting beautifully with the smooth gradient of the sky. The scene feels calm and ethereal, capturing a fleeting moment of light after rain.

Last one from me. #ColorADay #PinkMon #photography #MacroMonday #EastCoastKin

A close-up macro photograph of a hoverfly resting on a bright pink flower. The hoverfly’s body displays vivid yellow and black stripes, mimicking a wasp, while its delicate, translucent wings shimmer with a golden sheen in the sunlight. The background is filled with vibrant pink petals and yellow stamens, creating a striking contrast of colors and textures.

Good morning, it’s #BirdOfTheDay time. Today’s theme is #wings let’s see the beauty of them. They don’t have to be flying wings. The alternative is #droplets so any droplets of water on any bird. Good luck!! 🤞 I’m going with a Sparrow, taken yesterday. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A close-up photograph of a house sparrow in mid-flight, wings fully extended to reveal fine layers of feathers with soft brown and cream tones. The bird’s sharp eye and beak point forward, set against a smooth, blurred background of green and muted purples, creating a sense of motion and grace.

Dawn’s Cadence

No one can command
the dawn, none can coerce
its arrival, arrange
its composition
Rather dawn’s daily advent
commands, arranges
the hours, moments of
all those whose lives
unfold in the wake of its
timeless cadence

#Wordsmith #Dawn

The arrival of dawn. In the middle of the photo, the horizon, there is a warm apricot glow, which is reflected on the scattered clouds above. The sky is a pale blue/yellow. The ocean water is slightly ruffled. In the foreground is a number of flat rocks, and small rock pools.

In einer Wasserfläche befindet sich eine lang gezogene Grünfläche. Im Vordergrund ist ein grünes Ufer, im Hintergrund ist ein Deich in weiter Ferne. Der Himmel ist blau und verwischte Wolken sind am Himmel, die sich im Wasser spiegeln.
