Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

This is a ‘borrowed view’ through an circular opening in a white wall in Lan Su, the Portland Classical Chinese Garden. Above the opening is a scroll plaque bearing Chinese characters. Flanked by traditional shrubbery, the opening offers a view of the courtyard beyond where we see more of the same, with tiles on the roof of a room, and the pebbled, massaging floor of the courtyard. Having lived more than 20 years in this city, I and my camera wandered downtown the last time lies and exaggerations about civil protest in the Portland-scape were pushed for political agenda. I’m heartsick that this is happening again. https://lansugarden.org/

The beautiful Lan Su Garden right in the middle of downtown Portland, Oregon, is aways a #Stunday peaceful haven.

This image is of the two-level drops of the Multnomah Falls plunging down the cliff face, located in the prehistoric Columbia River Gorge, on the Oregon side of the state line. The point of view of the image is looking up from ground level to the waterfall which drops from the upper edge of the photo down through the center to a large natural pool below, at the bottom of the image. The upper falls are 551 feet falling to a pool, which then spills again a final 69 feet to another pool below. Across the chasm that flanks the falls, above the lower drop, a pedestrian bridge supports members of the public viewing the Falls above and below, surrounded by lush Pacific Northwest vegetation. The legend told by the indigenous Wasco people of the region, tells of how falls are named for a beautiful maiden who made the ultimate sacrifice to save her people.

A dead tree, suspended by nearby living trees, is coated in a few inches of snow.

A buck stands along side a few other deer in a snowy summer landscape. The autumn colors only just starting to show.

These photos are from a summer snow on September 8, 2020. Snapped on the trails near my home just before sunset. It was 80°F only a two days before.

September snows, once common on Colorado’s Front Range, are now extremely rare.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Summer #Photography #fireworks It pays to know the guy who shoots the fireworks at the local ballpark. You can get a behind the scenes view.

Sleeping black and yellow, chunky bumble bee tucked into a newly opening butter yellow rose bud, early on a summer morning in my garden. Macro close-up photo with visible black and yellow, fluffy “fur” apparent, as well as the smoky-transparent, black-veined wings folded against his back as he is tucked into the petals of the flower bud, sound asleep.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Summer theme. Early morning in my Charleston, SC garden. Sleeping chunky Bumble after the temp had dropped to 62 overnight. He was fine and woke up once the morning sun warmed him back up.

Images taken October/November 2023.

In 1612 seven suits of armour, crafted by Christian Müller, were presented to Elector Johann Georg 1 of Saxony by his wife. All are exquisitely etched, each unique to the other, with various scenes of battle, trophies, or florals. Of the seven, only one is gilt, as well as etched. This close-up view of the gilt torso, shoulder and hip areas of the armour reveals the richly-detailed scrollwork and floral emblems. Such stunning suits were used for the foot tournaments, typically held as part of a celebration, as demonstrations of battle skills, and as a means of keeping standing troops in readiness. In 1613, the Elector wore this gilt suit in the tournament to celebrate the birth of his son. It resides along with five of the other six suits, in the Rüstkammer/armoury in Dresden, Germany.

This image shows the full armour flanked by two of the etched silver metal suits of armour. Each includes a fitted helmet with openings for eyes, nose and mouth (called a Savoyard burgonet), the metal gorget worn over the armour to protect the throat and upper chest, the articulared pauldrons to cover the shoulders, forearm covers and gauntlets, and knee-length leg armour (called tassets).

A 1612 suit of armour for #Stunday.
Another candidate for my never-will-happen study on why weapons of destruction are embellished with beauty?

I used to volunteer at the most amazing creative re-use center in Portland, Oregon. One day while filling the shelves with paints, paper, old photos, maps, and art glass, I happened to glance out the corner of my eye at a new large container on the floor, and burst out laughing. This close-in image is of two soft-bodied baby dolls, each with a solid vinyl head with realistic expressions on their faces. One doll fills the photo - brown fabric body above the visible edge of a doll’s diaper, and a beautiful expression on the baby doll’s brown face. The brown, shiny eyes are focused to something out beyond the right edge of the image, and the mouth is open in an expression of wonder or anticipation. But in the bottom right corner of the photo, a small pale face peeps through the space under the outstretched arm of the other - looking straight at the viewer (pulling you into the moment) with wide eyes and round open mouth in an expression of surprise. To me they totally looked like two characters, and I almost believed they’d get up to merry mischief at the end of day, in that magical world where toys become real when no-one is looking.

For #SleepySep #CuddlyToy, my favorite serendipitous photobomb.

A view down upon two outstretched legs (from the base of the vertical photo to the top). The legs are exposed by the wearing of shorts, and each foot wears a sock and running shoe. But there the visual similarity ends. Two generations . . . 33 years between. The leg on the left [a right leg] is pale and hairless - the other [a left leg] is tanned, and not. One peaked at running 100 miles a week during high school, and as an adult survived a non-heart disease heart attack; the other, survived double cancer. So different - yet one part of the other. Mother and son. Survivors.

Thank you for the repost!

Thanks for reposting this one, too, @jaycee-visionlogic.bsky.social 👍

Thanks @mel789.bsky.social and @jaycee-visionlogic.bsky.social for sharing my post. 👍

Heartbreaking.

I thought I read something the other day about needing a permit to go down to see the Churn. I’m not sure how long that’s been in place, but my husband thinks our visit was pre-permit days. It’s sobering to consider why that is now necessary.

I thought I posted a TY but don’t see it . . . so, thank you for the repost! 😀👍

Thank you for the repost! 🙏

Now that makes me feel a tiny bit ‘homesick’.
Lovely photo💚

Thank you for the reposts, @lglly.bsky.social, @zebejay.bsky.social, @abbye123.bsky.social, @okieviper.bsky.social, @bluerier.bsky.social, @linmamaof2.bsky.social, and @dogman486.bsky.social ! Much appreciated.

Thank you @masonclements.bsky.social, @featherpainter.bsky.social, @johnh2.bsky.social, and @young-spartacus.bsky.social for the reposts!

I’m glad you like them.
I had a great photography teacher at community college, but I’m trying to relearn what I’ve forgotten since then.
