And wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew" - The Beatles (Meredith Willson).

From a neighborhood walk last spring. Easter Day to be exact. What lovely sights await me this year?

Bare tees with water behind them and the sun setting over the hills beyond.

A close up of a plant pot on a sunny day in early spring, containing an arrangement of plants featuring vibrant red and yellow Primrose flowers. The flowers in the photo have distinctive red petals with bright yellow centres. The arrangement also includes green foliage plants, including small conifers, providing a textured contrast to the colourful blooms.

first bloom

A rushing forest stream tumbles over moss-covered rocks in the foreground. Tall, dark coniferous trees line the steep banks on either side. The brilliant sun is low in the sky, shining directly through the tree trunks, casting dramatic, golden sunbeams across the scene and reflecting brightly on the bubbling water. The atmosphere is peaceful, wild, and enchanted, with deep shadows contrasting sharply against the bright, golden hour light.

Golden light hitting the waters of Glencree Valley! 🌲✨

When you look at it live, you cannot lie to yourself about the present reality.

Distracting, distorting thoughts do not change the true, present state as it is.

Whatever is is what ever is.

Photo by Jacub Gomez. A golden sunset casts a warm glow over a tranquil beach, with scattered clouds tinged in shades of orange and pink. Gentle waves lap at the shore, reflecting the fading sunlight. In the foreground, the silhouette of an adult crouches beside a small child at the water’s edge, their forms dark against the shimmering sea. The moment feels serene, a quiet connection between nature and human presence.

Teach your child not to make money, but to make time. Money can be earned again, but time starts slipping away the moment we are born.

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine roots—nest material so large it partly hides its face—suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.

Good morning. For the alt of today’s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders I’m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A close-up photograph of two vibrant red Oriental poppies in a garden setting. The foreground flower dominates the right side of the frame, its large, tissue-thin petals ruffled and luminous, with a small dark burgundy center visible at its heart. A second poppy blooms behind and to the left, slightly out of focus. Between them, a round green bud on a slender hairy stem reaches upward, not yet open. The stems and deeply serrated leaves are bright green and visibly textured with fine hairs. The background is softly blurred in muted greens and gray, keeping all attention on the bold red blooms. The overall feeling is of lush, fleeting early summer abundance. © 2019 Sofiimagines

Two poppies, with one on the way. 🌿🧡
