I told myself last night I didn't want to miss the #wipsnips for today, and almost did anyway.

When a Flora dies a violent death, a bloodthirsty tree sprouts from their corpse that attacks humans. 👍

Circles of Stillness
Silence moves in patterns long before we notice.

A minimalist ink-style composition unfolds on a pale, textured background resembling handmade paper. Several large circular brush forms dominate the upper portion of the image, each rendered in layered black and gray ink. The circles vary in size and density, their edges rough and uneven, revealing the motion of the brush through visible striations. Some circles appear almost complete, while others fade or break, suggesting movement, impermanence, and repetition rather than fixed shapes. In the lower right portion of the image, a dark silhouetted figure sits in profile. The figure appears human, seated low with knees drawn in and arms resting loosely, posture relaxed and contemplative. The silhouette is fluid and expressive, with loose ink strokes defining the body and hair rather than sharp outlines. The figure’s head is slightly bowed, conveying introspection or quiet attention. Small red seal marks punctuate the composition, one near the lower left and another beside vertical calligraphic characters on the right. These red elements contrast sharply with the monochrome palette, anchoring the image and adding a traditional artistic accent. The overall balance between empty space, circular motion, and the solitary figure creates a calm, meditative atmosphere. The image evokes themes of mindfulness, cyclical thought, and the quiet presence of a single observer within an ever-turning inner landscape.

I think so yes. Apparently a male berberidis would have transverse striations on the tergites, which I guess would be visible here if present @naturespotter.bsky.social

Swatch, as foretold! Just casting on for the sweater. #ShowMeYourKnits
A small square of cream/white knitting. It has some short black lines in it which look a bit like writing, or striations on a glacier.

.. look phenomenal—striations in the glutes, striations in the lower back, detail everywhere.

Milky (Whey Series 1/3) #Abstract #FluidArt #notAI #Vibrant #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Photography
A continuation of my last #Vibrant entry for the art-show last year!
Overhead photograph of liquid marbling art created with acrylic inks in milk. Flowing, organic swirls of hot pink, lavender, deep purple, and royal blue sweep across a pale translucent base. Numerous small droplets in red, white, and dark tones are suspended throughout, with a cluster of circular red droplets concentrated in the upper left. The right edge transitions to cream and yellow tones with fine blue striations. The glossy surface catches light, emphasizing the fluid, in-motion quality of the piece.

I know I've commented on the texture before, but I swear I can feel this one underneath my fingertips as I scroll. Like wood grain, brushed aluminum, the striations left in a surface by time and wear. Thank you for making these! They speak to a part of my soul that feels so worn. 🩶

After I retired, from 2016 to 2021, I roamed rural #Georgia with my camera and took pictures. Here is image number 221 from the series.

📍 Monroe, Georgia
A photograph of a deteriorating concrete wall with two industrial-style windows featuring metal frames and multiple glass panes. The concrete surface shows extensive weathering with horizontal striations from formwork, dark water stains, discoloration, and mottled patches in shades of gray, tan, and black. The left window appears intact while the right window has a broken pane with the glass pushed inward. Both windows have rusted metal frames. A strip of green grass grows at the base of the wall, contrasting with the aged industrial structure above.

The Captain

From this point of view as can be seen here, El Capitan stands in all its glory rising 3,000 feet above the valley floor.

#TheCaptain #BillGallagherPhotography #ElCapitan #Yosemite #YosemiteValley #MercedRiver #River #NatureLovers #NaturePhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #Beauty
The Captain You’re standing at the edge of Yosemite Valley, gazing upward at El Capitan, a colossal granite monolith that dominates the landscape like a stone cathedral. Its sheer vertical face rises with breathtaking force—smooth in places, jagged in others—etched with subtle striations from centuries of wind, ice, and sun. The rock glows faintly under a soft, overcast sky, its pale gray surface kissed by diffused light that makes the cliff feel both immense and ethereal. Below, the Merced River gently winds through the valley, its surface rippling with motion and reflecting the muted tones of the sky. The water’s quiet murmur contrasts with the silent grandeur of the cliff above. On either side of the river, lush green trees—a mix of pine and deciduous—frame the scene with vibrant life. Their leaves rustle faintly, adding texture and movement to the stillness. The air feels cool and clean, tinged with the scent of damp earth and pine needles. There’s a sense of reverence here, as if nature itself is holding its breath in the presence of something sacred. The image evokes awe, solitude, and timelessness—a moment suspended between stone and sky.

Rutilated quartz. I've seen gold and black striations but my goth heart loves the black. It's shards of rutile stuck inside of the quartz. About dime sized tall, 12mm.

Cotoneaster berries against redcedar bark
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleWinter #OurNeighborhood #MapleLeafNeighborhood #WinterBerries #BirdFood
The rough fibrous bark of a large redcedar tree trunk, in shades of reddish brown, dominates the photo. You can see how the fibers run from bottom to top. There are interesting striations running from left to right as well, with some grayish lines in the bark. Bright red cotoneaster berries cling to shrubby bare brown branches across the bottom of the tree trunk. The effect is almost monochromatic, dominated by shades of brown with little red pops.
