For #BlueSkyMonday. A moment where we caught six hawks circling overhead at the zoo.

Six hawks circling overhead. The tops of green but seasonally browning trees are in the bottom of the frame, with a tall pine fading out to the left. The sky is a soft baby blue with small, puffy clouds sparsely scattered about.

A tan hand with short, clean nails holding an ice cream cone. The cone has chocolate covered in white, orange, and yellow sprinkles. There is a green overlay that says: Autumn sprinkles!!" You can tell the person is sitting in a car and see some trees and construction barriers through the windshield.

Covered bridge in Frankenmuth for
#BlueSkyMonday and for a moment of #serenity. Hear the rippling water. Feel a light breeze and a touch of sun on your face. Put yourself on the shore for just a minute and breathe. Hand on your heart. Just breathe. #community #connection #peace

A long covered bridge horizontally across the center. It is made of brown wood with a pitched roof. It rests over a small, murky, rippling river. The sky is a very light blue and peppered with light, white fluffy small clouds.

It's been a month of Sundays, but we are back for this beautiful #Stunday, and as always, nature shows out and stuns us all. I hope you take a moment to block out the craziness of the world and focus on nature today. 🤍💚💙

A rippling dark green lake surrounded by lush green trees on every side. The sky has some clouds that look like stretched cotton, and the sky is a pale yet vibrant blue.

The POV is peering through leafy green branches at a pond. The pond is clear, still, and mirroring the sky and trees on the shore. In the center of the view is an upturned tree in the pond with its twisting roots exposed.

Happy #Stunday!! As usual, nature is stunning! Got out into some green spaces this weekend! Get out there!

#Sunday #nature #photography #community #beauty #artoftheuniverse

A large tree with humongous nodules on the trunk. At least 7 that I can count in the photo. Never quite seen one like it!!

The sun peeking through tree cover and making a sun streak straight across the photo.

A green creek surrounded by trees, bushes, and a few yellow wildflowers. The water is murky but still. There is a fallen bare tree by the right shore.

A twisty trunked tree almost completely enveloped by lush greenery on all sides and up from the bottom. A few wildflowers are mixed in.

A large, light pibk, five-petaled flower that fades to almost white near the middle of each petal. The stamens are tipped in bright yellow coming out of a darker, rich pink center. Green foliage is around.

A beautiful bright yellow brown eyed Susan, half shaded with another bud to the right.

Bright hot pink petaled flowers with large, fluffy, brownish centers. Maybe coneflower, not sure. Backed by greenery.

Gorgeous fuchsia flower opening to the right. White, lacy stamens. A small burgundy flower down to the left and greenery behind.

Another for #Stunday!!

"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;"

-Joyce Kilmer (an excerpt)

#nature #photography #beauty #art #awe

A tall tree with high-reaching, scraggly, twisted limbs and lots of green foliage sprouting all over. Other trees and bushes surround. Sun beams are streaking through the main tree like a white starburst!! The sky behind is azure blue with a few speckled, small,cotton like clouds.

An INCREDIBLE sunset. The top half of the sky are large clouds with bubbles and ripples like an upside down sea made of purple, dark pink, and light pink. Below the clouds is the Skyline of light and dark peach streaks of sky, turning to darker pinks by the horizon. Barely seen at the bottom is a Culver's restaurant. Lol. And a lone street light to the right. A true Midwest evening! ✨️ 💕

Thank you so much!! 🫶

Two photos, just before sunset on Mohican Lake.

May your life be just as beautiful.

Fight the good fight. This life is worth showing up for.

So sad to miss it! Looked like it was a blast at Pine Knob!!

Chisel @suri99.bsky.social · Jul 4

Celebrate this day or mourn this day. I have spent most of my day in tears and prayer. Now, I'll shoot some shit in the sky and be thankful for what I do have and what I can do around people I love. Sending out compassion today!

A vintage looking, swirly script that says "BE

with flowers, birds, sprigs in the decorative script and the script is in an ombre from orange to yellow, top to bottom. Red filligree at top and bottom.

All living things feel to some extent, but the beauty of being human is the connection we have with each other. Falling in love, experiencing shared joy, shared tears, caring for others, showing understanding and empathy. These are fundamental to the human experience. Really be!

#human #feel #alive

A background of scalloped green leaves fanned in every direction and imposed on top in red is the quote: "If you feel pain, you are alive. If you feel other people's pain, you are a human being." -Leo Tolstoy

I hope you will each choose to be a human being.

The sun straking beams through some trees. The trees are sparsely green with crooked limbs. The sky behind is a bright blue with a couple of puffy clouds barely perking through all the branches.

A little card I made.

"Orange you glad we met?? I sure am."

#art #watercolor #fun #pun #community #create

A square, homemade card with a watercolor orange. The orange has nice gradiation and highlights. It has a green stem with three leaves going up. There is a light blue background. It was created using watercolor. There is a signature that says "CP" with a six-petaled flower.

"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
-Longfellow

The bank of a lake on a clear day. The bank has rall dark yellow flowers growing in the forefront of the photo. There is the upturned tree with scraggly roots near the water's edge. The water is dark but still and it us reflecting the trees and sky. The back of the photo is a cement bridge and green, full trees.

Three big robin's eggs that are about ready to go!!! They nest on our front porch almost every year. We love our fine, feathered friends!

A nest build on the porch of a white painted brick home that can barely be seen in the background. The nest is made of mud and straw and other bits. It contains three bright blue Robin's eggs. 💙

A red stone bridge looks over the river portion of Cumberland Falls. The river is blue and green and still, with a few little raised sand patches within it. There is a light green tree to the left and large mountains covered in darker green trees to the right and back. The sky is bright blue with a few wispy clouds.

It's timeless and true, but sadly, seemingly now more than ever. This is the time for each of us to embrace the divine within us, and spread the Love that we are. We are not meant to live or love or fight or die alone. Reach out and reach across and pull in close.
