This continuous drizzle calls for something enchanting, so here’s a lovely autumn rose. Have a wonderful day everyone.

A softly blushing rose is the focus of this photo, its delicate petals unfolding in gentle shades of pink and cream. The flower’s intricate layers catch the sunlight, highlighting the subtle transitions in color and the tender, almost translucent quality of each petal. Set against vibrant green leaves and a textured stone wall, the rose exudes a sense of quiet elegance and natural beauty.

Dear all, our next theme
#Myth&Legend means timeless stories passed through generations, featuring gods, heroes, magic, and mysterious origins. These tales inspire culture and connect us all. Share your favorite legends and keep their magic alive!
#PalacesandGardens #Myth&Legend #EastCoastKin

Some ideas for motives:

Mythical Figures and Characters

Enchanted and Magical Places

Legendary Creatures and Beasts

Symbols and Artifacts

Epic Events and Tales

Light and Atmosphere

This poster features a dark blue background with a subtle, blurry reflection of a chandelier and window scene, giving an atmospheric effect. The text is large, white, and centered, making the main information stand out. The top displays the hashtag “#PalacesandGardens” in bold letters. Immediately below, the date is listed as “Thursday 9 October 2025.” The poster’s main focus is the theme “#Myth&Legend,” which is also bold.
A detailed description follows: “Myth & Legend encompass timeless stories and folklore passed down through generations, featuring gods, heroes, magical creatures, and the mysterious origins of people and places. These narratives are rooted in cultural identity and human experience, blending imagination with history to inspire art, literature, and community connections. Find suggestions for motives in alt text.”
Near the bottom, the text says, “Everyone is welcome.” Finally, the hashtag “#EastCoastKin” is displayed in bold white letters at the base of the poster. The overall effect is welcoming and informative, with a focus on legibility and inclusion, though some text overlaps with the lighter area caused by the chandelier reflection.

Such a lovely rose 🌹

The poor trees. Here too. With close friends for a few days and it’s bone dry in their state. “Smoky The Bear” fire danger warning posters all the way up the drive north of Massachusetts. Dry as well on Cape Cod. We all need rain.

Thank you Randy! Hope you’ve had a good day too
