How I felt when I discovered Bluesky
emilsea22.bsky.social
Hello BlueSky! A note to say I’m taking time away from this wonder full place. You are such a kind and generous people, allowing me both the joy of sharing my expressions and the joy of experiencing all the creativity and humanity of this community. Thanks for the likes, reposts, and your visions.

I can hardly wait for the arrival of this kaleidoscope of colors… the redbud trees here in Portland should be in their full autumn glory in just a few more weeks!
#YellowThu #ColorADay #fallcolors #fallvibes #autumncolors #autumn #fallleaves #yellow #photography
Looking up into the inside of a redbud tree canopy in October. Light from the outside is illuminating the autumn leaf colors of yellow, orange, red and green. The leaves are abundant and overlapping their heart shapes as they dangle from a few spindly dark brown branches. Touches of blue sky peeks through in just a few very small spots. It all looks a bit like a kaleidoscope’s image.

We forget that our ordinary, everyday life is the real teaching."

Have a wonderful day folks, maybe you’ll find the magic in the everyday?

Septembermorgen...
im Nebel ruhet noch die Welt,
noch träumen Wald und Wiesen.
Bald siehst du, wenn der Schleier
fällt, den blauen Himmel
unverstellt...
Herbstkräftig die gedämpfte Welt
in warmem Golde fließen .

Eduard Mörike
Das Bild zeigt eine malerische Sonnenaufgangsszene an einem See, der von leichtem Nebel bedeckt ist. Im Vordergrund befindet sich ein Holzzaun, auf dem mehrere Sperlinge sitzen. Ein weiterer Sperling sitzt am Fuß des Zauns im Gras. Im Hintergrund ist die aufgehende Sonne zu sehen, die den Himmel in warmen Orange- und Rosatönen färbt und sich im Wasser spiegelt. Am Horizont sind Bäume zu erkennen, und am Himmel fliegen weitere Vögel. Netzfund

There is so much artistry in nature where some flowers survive and bloom at extreme conditions - careful where you step!🙂

Flower of the day. Siskiyou lewisia. Native to Oregon and northern California, known for its rosette of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves and vibrant, daisy-shaped flowers that bloom from spring to summer. Named by Lewis of the Lewis & Clark expedition.

Looking up at a two story suspended turret on the corner of a brick building. The turret has windows and is decorated with gingerbread style ornaments, each colorfully painted. Below the turret there is a balcony with a decorative cast iron railing. Intense blue sky can be seen in the background.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #MeetTheArtist #Art #PhotoHour #PhotographersofBluesky #BlueSkyPhotography #ClassicMono #BlackandWhite #Travel #SelfPortrait
This black and white photograph captures a unique self-portrait reflected in a large, circular convex road safety mirror. The central subject is an adult male, wearing glasses and a t-shirt, holding a camera up to his eye, capturing his own reflection in the mirror. The mirror itself dominates the frame, creating a circular vignette that encapsulates the reflected scene. The photographer, with a backpack visible, stands prominently within this reflection, perfectly centered and actively taking the picture, creating a self-reflexive moment. The camera he holds is clearly visible, adding another layer to the photographic act. Beyond the mirror's frame, the surrounding environment is also rendered in shades of grey, black, and white. It appears to be an outdoor, rural setting with a dirt/gravel path leading through an area densely populated with trees and foliage, some of which are reflected in the mirror. A sign is faintly visible in the background, also reflected in the mirror, though its text is illegible because reversed. The surface on which the mirror is mounted is a wooden post and visible in the lower left corner outside the mirror's reflection. The lighting suggests diffused light, common for black and white photography, which helps in emphasising textures and forms without harsh shadows. The overall mood is quiet and introspective, with the black and white palette enhancing the timeless quality of the scene. The reflections in the convex mirror introduce a subtle distortion, characteristic of such mirrors, adding a unique visual element to the self-portrait.

Initially I mistook this for a small white feather on the grass. On closer inspection, I saw it was a fuzzy, furry caterpillar on an arduous journey.
