Did winter linger...

A photo of trees' reflection rippling on a rivers' surface with poem: Did winter linger longer than our need Will spring birds sing their farewells too soon On sultry summer nights could we forget to kiss swept by autumn on the tidings of a moon? by Terre d'OC

A modern photo haiga (poem and art). strolling together the river flow quietens our conversation The poem is placed in a photo of a mishmash of sparse spring tree branches silhouette against an unnaturally vibrant blue sky with yellow clouds. The scene is framed within bough of a tree to create an earth from space effect...I've no idea what that has to do with the poem ;) by Terre d'OC

I tend to block folks that follow me who don't have any replies, posts, or if they are following a MUCH larger number of folks than are following them.

My reasoning is, these are likely fake accounts, that'll switch to spreading election lies, anti-vax, whatever, etc.

I don't follow back blindly.

line drawing originally described as "abstract line drawing of a girl with many legs" which was offered for poetic interpretation/inspiration. A sequence of senryū & haiku inspired poems have been placed in the image as a response to the prompt: Pop! Chicxulub blows away a t-Rex' bloody grin the dandelion seed floating on a cosmic wind-- 66 million years Orion nebula- a world of weeds begin to puff . poem by terre d'oc with original drawing by Josiah (@lessethereal)

some sort of a one word concrete poem with overly large white text "thun" on a black background with the word ' d e e r " typed in smaller font and each letter spaced out from the next. Might be a little tribute poem to the famous " tundra ", one word haiku by Cor van den Heuvel.

a young summer
the naked lake, night swimming
as we collide, we create
a star
a black hole
NASA image release August 5, 2010 A beautiful new image of two colliding galaxies has been released by NASA's Great Observatories. The Antennae galaxies, located about 62 million light-years from Earth, are shown in this composite image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), the Hubble Space Telescope (gold and brown), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (red). The Antennae galaxies take their name from the long antenna-like "arms," seen in wide-angle views of the system. These features were produced by tidal forces generated in the collision. The collision, which began more than 100 million years ago and is still occurring, has triggered the formation of millions of stars in clouds of dusts and gas in the galaxies. The most massive of these young stars have already sped through their evolution in a few million years and exploded as supernovas. The X-ray image from Chandra shows huge clouds of hot, interstellar gas that have been injected with rich deposits of elements from supernova explosions. This enriched gas, which includes elements such as oxygen, iron, magnesium, and silicon, will be incorporated into new generations of stars and planets. The bright, point-like sources in the image are produced by material falling onto black holes and neutron stars that are remnants of the massive stars. Some of these black holes may have masses that are almost one hundred times that of the Sun.

Thank you for inspiring it with your painting.

This is Diamond Hill, (not my photo) .

Can't see any here but they are there, the Connemara pony is similar to yours in Iceland.
Probably, Iceland and Ireland were connected at some stage in their tectonic dance?

Diamond Hill, panoramic view of Connemara's rugged Atlantic coastline from the top of the famous landmark. A medium difficulty climb with a breathtaking pay-off at the top.
