A patterned gecko rests on a moss covered tree trunk in a dark forest. The reptile is shown in sharp focus, with pale markings along its body, textured skin, and alert yellow eyes, while the damp bark and green moss form a soft, natural background.

Green Heron Fluffed Crown Feathers by Debra Martz

A green heron with striking plumage perches on a ledge. Its vivid feathers and keen eye are captured against a soft background. I waited and watched the Heron as it waited and watched for some prey in the water below. When it fluffed its feathers, I thought, finally, I'm going to get the photo of it taking off, but that wouldn't happen. It outlasted me, and I finally moved on along the walking path.

This delicate floral sketch combines expressive ink linework with soft watercolor washes, depicting pink tulips arranged in a blue vase on a simple tabletop. Gentle washes, hand-drawn linework, and a muted, earthy background create a calming still life that feels both modern and timeless. Ideal for tranquil interiors, wellness spaces, bedrooms, and art-filled homes, this original floral artwork evokes simplicity, balance, and everyday beauty. Framed art shown in a display room.

Four years ago, I had the idea of creating a compact short story using pictures/artwork I took/created. For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 18 here is the next 'page'

A Tail of Return – See ALT for Page 3 Impresso Expresso

#visualstorytelling #ayearforart #storytelling
A Tale of Return - Impresso Expresso - Page 3 Skye placed the cups with wind swirl patterns on the table and poured the tea, “I rarely get faraway visitors. What brings you to travel on this Kámino pathway?” Quédam quietly observed the pattern imprinted on the cups thinking of the double meaning. They could be symbols pertaining to the Maidens of the Wind or it could also be a reference to the Wind Paths guiding life through change and fate. Taking a sip of tea, he replied, “I am looking for what I lost long ago. I have traveled many of the interconnected Realms climbing up the Stairway to the Heavens above to arrive here in the Skylands. I don’t know much about this village of Magic. I take it you have lived here all your life. Can you tell me more about it?” --Visual is a photograph of close up of two cups on saucers sitting side by side next to each other. There is a swirl pattern on the cups with what looks like simple decorative triangle shapes like mountains between the swirl pattern. The triangle shapes are repeated on the saucers. The white tablecloth the cups and saucers rest on has circular swirl patterns on it complimenting the cups.

Hello!

My name is Constantin. I like to take black and white photos, mainly of the streets I walk everyday. Have a look. I'm looking for people who share this little obsession with me.

From the back yard this evening.
Peach, pink, gray and white clouds and blue sky over the pasture. Trees are visible in the bottom right corner, and the lower middle left. The colors are visible through the trees. An outdoor light in the lower left corner,, it looks like it’s leaning but it doesn’t actually. A little bit of light brown pasture is seen between the trees and in the distance in the pasture is a large copse of trees.
