The Red Bird of Paradise. The flowers are a brilliant mix of #orange to red clusters and fern like leaves. I love the tropical look in my landscape in Arizona, USA. I used my phone camera to take this picture in August 2024.

So we dance on, on the fine line between yesterday and tomorrow, between forgetting and remembering. Our hearts beat to the rhythm of the universe and we smile because we know that change is life: Change is life.

Normal isn't normal anymore, but you are not alone. You find the like-minded and seek solutions. Isolation and despair are not options when so much is at stake.

To end the day, I’ll leave you with this. I like to think that somewhere out there somewhere in the energy of time and space remains the good soul of a man, father and a husband, and that he still gets a laugh out of all this attention. TG.. You are missed.

It took my breath away when I stepped on a ledge and saw this mind blowing landscape below. The magnificent mountains of Yoho National Park in the Canadian Rockies cradle turquoise lakes illuminated in intense light as the setting sun colors low lying clouds.📷
