Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated. Auguste Rodin

Bright pink opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). These poppies were in the Madonna Inn garden; this pink is their signature pink that is everywhere!

#EastCoastKin #Poppies #Macro #Bloomscrolling
Two bright pink poppies up close, The petals are mostly hot pink, with four large black patches near the center of the flower and the center of the petals. Next is a ring of whitish stamen that are numerous, delicate and look like they would flutter. The very center of the flower is yellow. These are in the Madonna Inn garden, and the color matches their decor...all hot pink! San Luis Obispo, California

For #BlueSkyArtShow, a beautiful sunset. May your #evening be as peaceful.
A lake scene at sunset. A tree frames the scene on the left and top of the image. A boat pier juts into the lake at a 45 degree angle from the bottom left c I rner. The sky is dark blue with orange and pink clouds. The lake reflects the sky's colors.
