Macro shot of the moss growing on a perimeter fence in San Francisco Japanese Garden. Wabi Sabi, the term used for elegant decay. This fence becomes more beautiful as it gets older. "It is not how old you are, but how you are old."~Marie Dressler Top view of a decaying log fence post used at the Japanese Garden in San Francisco. Its elegant decay makes it more beautiful now than when it was placed. "It is not how old you are, but how you are old."~Marie Dressler

#FlowerReport:

This morning, in Gilroy, California.

.
A close-up photo of a brownish pill bug clinging to a yellow daisy-like flower, near its base of green sepals. The photo is from the side. The flower is still closed, as it is still fairly early in the morning. Running the length of every petal are dozens of tiny beads of dew. The petals are bright from ambient sunlight beyond, and the background is blurred tall green grass.

Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
Resting, watch it stir
Rustling, fuzzy fur
Energetic whir
Leaves in a blur."~Casey MacKay

"But we will follow our hearts to find our own pot of gold,
There can be no failure, just adventure,
See you again somewhere down the road. "~Simon Thorpe

#Macro #PlumBlossom #FlowerReport #EastCoastKin #SmArtist #photography #photographer #Art #BloomScrolling #FlowersOnBlueSky #Poem in alt
Poem titled "A Fleeting Moment" By Simon Thrope included A whisper on the wind, fluttering leaves carrying memories of bygone days, our lives intrinsically entwined with natures majesty, I am the heron swooping to capture its prize, the nightingale singing alone its haunting ballad, I am the tiger who came to tea, the golden eagle keeping a watchful eye on the minions below, I am the very ground walked on by the great kings of the past, I am everything and nothing, but I belong, Lifes rich tapestry weaves a path through history, Our paths will meet at the crossroads, But we will follow our hearts to find our own pot of gold, There can be no failure, just adventure, See you again somewhere down the road.

Black and white photo of a snowy egret standing by a pond. It gazes at the lens with one eye. Its feathers unruffled by my presence. A Very Short Poem by Dorothy Parker included Once, when I was young and true, Someone left me sad- Broke my brittle heart in two; And that is very bad. Love is for unlucky folk, Love is but a curse. Once there was a heart I broke; And that, I think, is worse.

A symbol of renewal, rebirth, or reincarnation, the cycles never cease. Section of lyrics by Message to Bears, from the song "You Are a Memory" included.

"I wrought you out of black flak
From the depths of social depressions
I broke the purple veil in your heart
And shot your fictitious desires with a flame"~Taylor Coleman

Poem by Taylor Coleman titled The Asphalt City I wrought you out of black flak From the depths of social depressions I broke the purple veil in your heart And shot your fictitious desires with a flame By candlelight, by knees bent and a head bowed I breathed into you life And slept silently in your dreams Subjecting you to thrive soundly under A rhinestone gem Of the sky I prayed not to the moon But a creator of which both hover Deeming dreams are to manifest My shallow soul I gave life to objects dead Invented morality and a social order That went as far as one Can raise his hand up in the darkness In protest Can you see him His passion burning To command justice Slivers of white gold reign down on you My city of damnation I built you up from wreckage and war Gave you a name You clutch and give respect to nothing Buried under the masses You say religion never exists Only non-consensus reality And so I show you your flaws In every broken mirror Stained glass church window In every puddle or stream From the ocean's depths I echo out your calling And you seek to claim it You cling lifelessly Despondent Of concrete and asphalt Of which no impressions can be made I let you search for the sun Beg for the light For a plant to grow To give nutrition to the mind In the cracks where a worldly heart Can no longer weep in remorse I break away from your mistakes From your laws and in deism I leave you with but The things you've invented Your wings to take flight To ensure a so-called So very much hoped for Productive society I look up to the rhinestone moon Willingly nature's way Shall force a change to come soon

Red roses against a white sky. Silhouetting and stark in their audacity. Quote by Oscar Milosz included "To some extent, I have only lived to have something to outlive. By confiding these futile remembrances to paper, I am conscious of accomplishing the most important act of my life. I was predestined to Memory.
