"A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips."

- John O'Reilly

Pink Blush of Oleander on a Summer Breeze

#Oleander #PinkFlower #SummerBloom #NaturePhotography #MediterraneanLight #BotanicalBeauty #MacroFlora #VisualPoetry #Photography

In this close-up photograph, a single pink oleander flower blooms gracefully against a blurred background of green leaves and unopened buds. The petals are pale pink with deeper magenta veins at their base, fanning out like silk ribbons under the sunlight. The flower’s softness contrasts its plant’s tough, lance-shaped leaves and woody stems — a balance of delicacy and endurance. The natural lighting creates a warm, summery glow, emphasizing the fragility and elegance of the blossom. A subtle watermark reading “©ahaktekin” appears at the bottom left corner.

This is a Pink Oleander (Nerium oleander), a hardy Mediterranean shrub known for its striking beauty and toxicity. Despite its poisonous nature, it’s often seen lining roadsides and gardens, a symbol of resilience, endurance, and bittersweet beauty.

Autumn colors yesterday. Cascade foothills. Portland Oregon. Have a beautiful day. ❤️🧡🫶🏻

Cascade foothills. Deciduous trees turning orange-red and purple, tall conifers behind, layers of rolling hills, topped with pale blue sky.

Moin, Bluesky 🦋.
Der Tag startet mit Kaffee schwarz ☕️(setzt Milch auf die Einkaufsliste). Wegen dem Regen war der Katzenwecker nur kurz draußen 🐱.
Schönen Donnerstag und Grüße aus dem trüben und nassen Süden ☔️ ☁️ 👍.
