💯 We appreciate you too, Bleu!

See not with the eyes.

Volt strikes at one—
energy threads through marrow,
a current,
no distance can unbind.

The silent act
awakens shadows—
a pulse that bridges
the unseen, infinite tide.

#🩶🤎

Start your day off right with a nice video. 🥰

Two bright kayaks rest on grassy shore, facing a dark sky split by a radiant rainbow over calm waters, where storm and sunlight meet in quiet wonder.

Clearly, the universe is offering me a polite yet irresistible invitation
I must grab my paddle, answer the call, and let the current and colors conspire to take me somewhere worth remembering
After all, rivers whisper and rainbows don’t linger
Never say no to a river and a rainbow 🌈

You’re welcome, Carl. I think you’d enjoy it. It’s a dramatic reenactment and the cast is good.

Thanks, Amy 😊 The 🌞 and 🌊 did the heavy lifting. I was grateful to be there to capture it.

Thanks. I tend to personify things. Sometimes the night sky 😉 at me.

Thank you, Kimberly 🙏

Thanks, Mighty Athena! I smiled at the ocean and it smiled back 😌

Thanks! Same. We have a lot in our yard and occasionally inside. The inside ones are mostly wolf spiders. I got this cool little device for capturing them and relocating them back outside.

Orange sun rises over the ocean as waves recede from the shore leaving dappled water on the dark sand. Orange and grey clouds drift on the horizon.

Wind on ocean’s lip,
grin of foam in morning light,
dreams drift into blue.

Bottom right, a bellflower finds her space 😌

Thank you for seeing it 🙏

Thanks, Tré! 😌 I didn’t know that about the signature. I’ll read up on that. We have quite a few of them in our yard and they may be generational but the location of the egg sacs varies year to year. It’s cool yours has a tradition. What a gift.

Thank you, Standing Mountain. I love emoji replies. They tell a story. Yours puts me in the forest near a river 😌 🌲

✨ 🐝 ……✨

A bee hovered, then landed on her hand. Tiny legs tapped her skin, soft as whispers. She froze, eyes wide, breath held.
It crept to her wrist, tickling enough to make her laugh, light and sudden.
The bee paused, as if to nod, then lifted off, and vanished, leaving behind a trace of wonder.

Thank you 🙏

Loved your video and the way you spoke about the moon’s pull. I like to think the moon as family. Born of the same ancient fire and stone, still circling us after all these ages.

Moon rising above the ocean, its light reflected in the waves.

Silver coin aloft
in the ink washed sea of night,
dreams pull with its tide.

This is a black and white landscape photo I took at sea, facing a misty morning island in the Caribbean. The dark ocean catches light before the island, half-covered in curls of white sea mist. Above silver clouds stretch like frayed ribbons over a charcoal sky.

Fret veils the island

Realistic expectations
Mine and yours
A deep well
As confining as a prison
What if instead we chose
Potential?
Possibility?
What if we gave ourselves
Permission to fail
Just to see
What would happen?
What might this world become
If chasing a dream
Win or lose
Was its own reward?

I weave a web
Sweet silk snare
Outside the window
When night falls
They flee to the light
Heedless of me
Beating their wings
Against the glass
Seeking warmth
They find death
In my eager arms
Hush, my darlings
Night and day are done
Sleep deep
In spider's embrace

Jess smirked. “Try not to get exorcised without me.”
His retort stalled on his tongue, as she walked away.
The fog swallowed her, leaving only the ghost of her voice.
And the weight of words he never spoke.

#blueskyrelay #meadow

Take a scythe
And be a reaper
Out in the meadow
The grass is tamer now
Mown like Samson and Delilah
With the iron blade
Or steel as it's sharper
It's our safe return to Nature
A wilder lawn
With taller grasses
Hay and straw
For unwild toys
Rescue horses
Put out to pasture

En un trueno me voy, rasgando el velo del cielo. No hay despedida, sólo el latido súbito de la tormenta abriendo camino. La lluvia será mi eco, la luz mi estela, y en el silencio después quedará mi nombre susurrado por las nubes. La tormenta. Standing Mountain

In a thunderclap I go,
tearing the veil of the sky.
There is no farewell,
only the sudden heartbeat
of the storm
opening the way.

The rain will be my echo,
the light my wake,
and in the silence after
my name will remain
whispered by the clouds.
