Winter, the cold beauty of new beginnings.

Spring, all its promise of growth and journey.

Summer, a heady buzz of warmth and destiny.

Autumn, a time of reflection and acceptance.

A macro photo of a pink and white gladiola flower with water droplets on the petals. The flower is in front of a black background to give it a stark contrast.

No birds, no breath, just emptiness

The image shows a stark black and white photograph of a solitary, bare tree standing in the middle of a misty field. The tree appears dormant, with no leaves, revealing its skeletal branch structure against a foggy, gray background. The atmosphere is moody and minimalist, with a thick fog obscuring the horizon and creating a sense of isolation. The field itself appears to be an open grassland or meadow, and the monochromatic treatment emphasizes the somber, melancholic mood of the scene. The composition is simple yet powerful, with the lone tree as the central subject surrounded by empty space and atmospheric fog.

Part of the children's section of a museum I visited a few summers ago. I loved this trippy hallway! Reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.

A guy was revving his car at me the other day like that would make him seem sexy? Nah, bro, anyone can do that. Tell me you can get an orchid to rebloom, THAT'S a badass skill! 😂

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Recently started teaching myself watercolour painting so I'm still very much a beginner... 🫣 I know it has some issues, but I actually quite fancy this one!

Lost in time

4 panel comic
Panel 1: two happy bunnies are walking through a forest area, seemingly hand in hand.
Panel 2: now they are chilling on a bench in the mountains
Panel 3: they are back home, enjoying some coffees or teas on a table. One bunny says “what a year we had”
Panel 4: a more zoomed in version of the third panel where the other one replies “it’s February, my love” and the first bunny seems pleasantly surprised

For the @blueskyartshow.bsky.social theme of #reflections this week, please enjoy this lovely sunset I captured over an inlet off the Mississippi Sound after Tropical Storm Gordan passed through in September, 2018.
