What could be more perfect for #BlueSkyMonday than the magnificent bluebells at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden…🌱

#BloomScrolling #gardens #flowers #FlowerPhotography #EastCoastKin #brooklyn
I look forward all year to this… seemingly endless glens of bluebells flowers at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Surrounded by lush green foliage of the mature trees, I linger, contemplating the beauty and peacefulness.

This is Coral. She let cuteness aggression get the best of her. Her brother Crow figures he'll take that as a compliment. 13/10 for both (IG: crow_waya)

After-storm view out of my window…I feel like I’m living in a snow globe…

#WinterStorm #snow #brooklyn #StreetScape #EastCoastKin 🌱
The view out of my front room window after the weekend snow storm. Snow has formed into a circle on the outside of the window. Through it can be seen the brownstone buildings and sidewalk of my Brooklyn neighborhood.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Closeup portrait of a Primula flower. Of the many species of primroses, the Auriculas are my favorites. Challenging to grow, but the exquisite jewel-like flowers are worth it. This one has wavy, layered petals of a deep magenta-wine color with a brush of creamy white at the base of each petal.

A moment of still life…

Flowers and Fruit, c.1880, Paul Cezanne 🌱

A painting of flowers and fruit, c.1880, by Paul Cezanne. On a brown tabletop sits a bright orange, a golden-yellow lemon and a green lime. On the right, abstracted green foliage and a warm-pink flower stem from a black vase. The background is shades of cream, pewter gray with tinges of pearly pink. Wish my description was better!

Saliva guaranitica—tubular shaped petals of glorious cobalt blue. The ebony black calyces and stems provide added beauty. Here it is paired with the pure white variety of Platycodon, Balloon Flower. .

We must continue the work to abolish ICE.

But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

From the IG of artist and poet Adam Martin, adammaxwellmartin. Upper image is white lettering on a black background with the words,”This dark is not a void. It’s a field holding its breath. Seeds don’t need applause. They need depth. So rest here— where nothing is demanded, and everything is possible.” Separated by a coral pink line, the lower half of the image is a horizontal aqua-blue band with darker blue markings, water and sky perhaps?

good morning…from a winter sunrise…

Winter sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Ribbons of clouds — golden-orange, coral pink, lavender, steely blue…the calm ocean water glows in the rising sun. In the foreground are dustings of snow on the sand dunes.

A Great Blue Heron in one of the local rivers. Most of these birds migrate but a few will stay and hang around the open waters.

Cloud and water scapes…late afternoon walk along the Atlantic Ocean shore… a magnificent veil of rain clouds in tones of soft slate gray and lavender, casting a deep charcoal gray light onto the calm ocean water. Above are drifts of soft pink clouds and pale sky.

Ever take a walk and the clouds take your breath away? Happened to me yesterday.

Cloud and water scapes…a late afternoon walk along the Atlantic ocean shore…magnificent columns and drifts of clouds in shades of lavender, pearly pink, opalescent blues and grays. The calm ocean water is bathed by the light through the clouds. In the foreground are dunes of buff colored beach grass.

Two flower portraits…on the left are gerbera daisies, with soft buttery cream petals and gold/ brown centers…the light casts a pale green glow. On the right are ranunculus blossoms with layers and layers of pale yellow petals. In the center is a lime-green flower bud, yet to unfurl, with a bright gold center.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

A handkerchief with a creamy white background and a quote from Sinead O’Connor embroidered in black thread,” They tried to bury me…They didn’t realize I was a seed.” The words are surrounded with red roses and green foliage. This is from the amazing IG account of tinypricksproject.

Winter afternoon at the pond near the Boathouse in Prospect Park. Setting sun casts pearly-gray shimmering light over the dappled pewter colored water surface. In the background are the black silhouettes of bare-branched trees, in the foreground ducks float in the late afternoon sparkle.
