Good morning Bluesky! It's time to rise, it's time to shine! Do the work of love today with a smile on your face, and a song in your heart. Happy Thursday! ❤️

Went to my favorite winter place to shoot 📷 again on Tuesday 1/13 and a lot of the eagles had left so I played with the swans and geese. Thought this pic was a cool effect when rotated and looked like an owl. 🪶 #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer #Birds #Reflections

Did you know, incidentally, that Cat Stevens did a comedy country song about the time he got deported from the US because he was on the no-fly list, and got Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney, Alison Krauss, and for some reason Terry Sylvester of the Hollies to sing bits of it?

"This land like a mirror turns you inward
And you become a forest in a furtive lake;
The dark pines of your mind reach downward,
You dream in the green of your time,
Your memory is a row of sinking pines."

On this day in 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were assassinated by far-right paramilitaries.
They warned against half-hearted revolution until the end. The enemies of socialism restored “order” - a prelude to fascism, not peace.

I don't normally post for #PalacesAndGardens but I couldn't resist posting this piece of Victorian vandalism for #TimePassages.
The tall red sandstone sundial in the foreground was a medieval cross that some Victorian thought would make a sundial. 🙄

Every morning & afternoon, Namibia's mesmerizing Deadvlei comes alive in a symphony of light, shapes & shadows. Two beautiful trees seem to reach out, to hold on to each other, as the shadows creep in & the last line of light recedes.
