#Abstractia #Rust

I love how this shrub has rust-colored branches and stems in the fall and winter once its leaves fall off.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #RedStems
This plant has dense, rust-colored, thin branches/stems in the fall and winter. It's extremely common along hiking trails here in San Luis Obispo, California. Possibly some sort of dogwood.

Today was the first photo outing since Jan. 27, 2026--still overcast but at least it wasn't raining! Here's one member of the Bald Eagle couple that we saw, today, at the nest tree we've been watching for the last 2 years.

Ginza, Tokyo, 1950. Japan

Photography by Toni Schneiders
A black‑and‑white street scene from 1950s Ginza shows an elderly vendor seated at a small newsstand, surrounded by neatly arranged stacks of newspapers and magazines. The man wears glasses and has a cloth tied around his head, leaning forward as he reads a paper in his hands. His posture is relaxed, suggesting a quiet moment between customers. The stand itself is densely packed, with publications displayed in rows and columns, many featuring bold headlines and portrait photographs typical of mid‑century Japanese print media. Handwritten price signs hang from the shelves, and the textures of worn wood, paper, and fabric give the scene a lived‑in, everyday quality. The background is softly blurred, keeping the focus on the vendor and his compact stall, capturing a slice of postwar Tokyo life where street commerce, print culture, and human routine intersect in a single intimate moment.

A Maiko (an apprentice geisha in Kyoto) dressed in traditional attire. Japan
A maiko is shown from behind, standing in soft light that highlights the elegance of her traditional attire. She wears a black kimono with a crisp white collar, the neckline dipped low at the nape to reveal the distinctive three unpainted stripes of her makeup — a hallmark of apprentice geisha. Her hair is styled in a formal coiffure adorned with subtle ornaments, and the smooth curve of the hairstyle contrasts with the structured layers of her clothing. The obi at her back is wide and ornate, featuring a rich gold pattern of flowers and foliage that catches the light and adds depth to the composition. The overall scene emphasizes refinement and ritualized beauty, focusing on the iconic silhouette and cultural details that define a maiko’s appearance.

1000 origami cranes, Senbazuru 千羽鶴 - Senbazuru is a string of a thousand paper cranes. It is usually sent to a person who is ill or injured as a prayer for recovery. The crane is symbolic of happiness and long life in Japan. Text by Kumi Ito on Pinterest. Photography by skinnie40 on 500px
A dense cascade of brightly colored paper cranes hangs in long, vertical strands from a hook attached to a wooden structure. The cranes form a vivid gradient, shifting from deep reds and pinks at the top through yellows, greens, blues, and finally purples near the bottom. Each strand is tightly folded and closely packed, creating a textured, almost fabric‑like curtain of origami. Above the strands sits a shiny decorative ball that catches the light and adds a festive accent. The wooden slats behind the display are weathered and dark, providing a rustic backdrop that makes the colors appear even more luminous. The overall impression is one of care, patience, and devotion, evoking the tradition of senbazuru — one thousand paper cranes offered as a symbol of hope, healing, and heartfelt wishes.
