The bright full moon appears above a line of silhouette trees. Clouds fill the sky in shades of gray and blue.

Au clair de la lune…
Good night wishes
for the sweetest dreams 🍭 💭

Sea Love

📸 Alfred Ehrhardt • 1937

There’s a softness
threaded through our untamed parts…

Realness is rarely loud.
It is the courage to set aside grand gestures
and choose what feels simple and sincere.
We outgrow our ideas of ourselves
to arrive at something truer…

More winter poetry by Estonian Doris Kareva

Stark and scant is the nordic light.
...
I don't know, I can't cope here,
I freeze in the grip of history.
All borders are binding,
each story is sealed.

Cattleya Orchid and Three Hummingbirds (1871) - Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904) #naturalism

Soft light gilds the skin,
Quiet breath in morning’s glow,
Stillness shared by two.
Love is not a frantic thing,
But this peace between the sheets…

This ethereal macro photograph captures the delicate soul of a Japanese cherry blossom (sakura) in stunning detail. The central flower is bathed in soft, natural light, highlighting its translucent pale pink petals that transition into a deeper magenta at the base. At the heart of the bloom, the slender, golden-tipped stamens are sharply focused, reaching outward with a fragile elegance. The background is a dreamlike wash of pastel pinks, lavenders, and soft yellows, created by a shallow depth of field that beautifully isolates the main flower from the surrounding canopy. This "radiant" composition evokes the fleeting, "luminous" beauty of the spring season, capturing the quiet brilliance of a single blossom at the height of its short-lived existence.

Cherry blossom, Spring, Japan. This "radiant" composition evokes the fleeting, "luminous" beauty of the spring season, capturing the quiet brilliance of a single blossom at the height of its short-lived existence.

"When anxious, uneasy, and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

by sharing your sky
you help me survive

can't save someone

Composite photo of seven different cloud photos, one taken each day this week. Lots of dark heavy skies this week. A cloud diary.

Branches of pale cherry blossoms in March against a blue sky and evergreen trees.
