The Bluesky community has been so amazing re: likes and reposts. For a short time I was able to reciprocate, but I’m running out of steam. January 2025 marked 8 years since my brain surgery. I have many deficits. Please bare with me and know I appreciate you!🙏🫶

The photo shows a view of overlapping mountain ranges. The furthest range has fresh snow on it. There is a small forested area at the front of the photo. There is light and shadow based upon the position of the sun.

The landscape photo shows the view of a tight curve in a highway surrounded by forest turning colours in autumn. In the background is a lake and large mountain ridge.

Summer nights, warm winds…
A mountain is in the photograph. In the sky are grey, billowing clouds. At the bottom of the clouds is bright pink light from the sun going down. The bright pink clouds are formed in such a way that they look like pink rain is falling.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Powerful video…

Some funky looking clouds are the main part of the photo. The clouds are set in a blue sky with mountain ranges and trees at the base of the photograph.

Up close in the photo is yellow sea grass or sea weed. In the distance are a few boats and buoys. Finally, in the misty foreground are some trees.

This is a unprocessed photo of a dramatic twilight at Newport Bay taken from Newport Sands, Pembrokeshire, Wales on 4 May 2025. The sky is varying shades of deep orange. The sand is pale orange. The sea is a little rough, and the water and waves are varying shades of blue, grey and white.

I throw wishes
Into the molten horizon
And wait for the stars
To sew them into constellations…

One more photo for #caturday and #blueskyartshow . This is my Nova. He doesn’t like his #green vegetables! lol
A grey and white cat sits on an outdoor compost made of bricks. In front of him lay a handful of freshly picked snow peas. The cat frowns as if to state, “I’m not eating those!”.

To dream in the drift
Of lucent waters,
To rest in the scent
Of earthen moss. 🌿
