A close-up photograph of a blooming rose with orangey-red and yellow petals. Tiny silvery dew drops are caught on some of the curled petals. Darker veins of color can be seen in many of the petals. The bokeh background is the brown and green of the rosebush.

Bloom on! This rose bush is blooming in winter time. Maybe your colors are not as bright during the cold, but it is enough to add color to life.

Sandalwood scent is my favorite. Burning wood or otherwise. Palo Santo, Oak, and Cedar are wonderful also.

A landscape photograph of a a setting sun reflecting on a cloudy sky. Green winter grass and taupe colored clumps of weeds in the foreground. Black twisted branches and twigs from a winter tree framing the middle to upper left side of the photograph. Triangular foothills backlit by a long horizontal sunset of yellow and purplish clouds in the sky, turning lighter toward the top.

Cloudy January 1st Sunset. Wishing everyone a peaceful evening. #photography #landscape #nature #sunset #clouds #foothills

A large reddish dog leaning against a wall with a sliding glass door with vertical blinds. Natural lighting from the outdoors highlights one side of the dog, including one hazel eye looking at the camera.

A landscape photograph of a two-lane road with trees and bushes on either side descending into thick fog creating the illusion of a white wall. Above the fog "wall", sunny greenish-brown foothills are clearly seen against a pale afternoon sky. In other words, the lower portion of the photo looks dreary and damp, and the upper portion looks sunny and clear.

This almost looks like a split picture, but it's actually a layer of fog (that looks like a white wall) covering a valley in some foothills. Here's to sunnier days! #photography #nature #weather #fog #wall-of-fog #fog-layer #foothills #landscape

A photograph of a green praying mantis peering out from a leafy twig at the camera.

A praying mantis was wondering if I was friend or foe... #photography #blueskyartshow #small #prayingmantis #insect #bug #nature #green

Yes, it's infuriating!!

A landscape photograph of white clouds lit from behind by the sun over autumn foothills and fields dotted with oak trees. Wooden fenceposts in the foreground separate a two lane road from the land.

A beautiful ending to a rainy day. Have a peaceful evening everyone. #photography #landscape #clouds #nature

Beyond infuriating!

Lovely pic. I also have a liquidambar tree, but the leaves are not quite as colorful as of yet.

Celosia is very unique. #photography #celosia #flower #plants #nature #pink

A photograph looking up through a tree canopy of yellow and gold autumnal leaves on smooth bark branches against a blue sky on a sunny day.

This was taken on a beautiful October day, and all these leaves have since fallen; glad to have found this on my camera. #photography #nature #tree #leaves #fall #autumn #yellow

Close-up photograph of a green katydid with its leaf-like wings (including leaf-like veins), grasshopper-type head with antennae, and long jointed legs, walking upwards on the handle of a shovel handle leaning against a wall. Katydids are insect cousins of crickets and grasshoppers.

This katydid was easy to see as it was the only leaf on the shovel handle. #photography #katydid #insect #leafbug #nature #green

🎯 Well done!

A shadow silhouette photograph of a cat gazing into the distance whiled perched on top of a round fence post against a cloudy late afternoon sky. I still think of you often, my fearless little friend.

Shadow cat for October. My cat's silhouette while sitting on the top of a round fence post taken years ago. Even though he was a tabby, the sun had set behind the mountain creating a great shadow cat figure for the camera. #photography #cat #silhouette #shadow #nature

A birdhouse made of a round piece of log and a flat board roof sitting on the top board of a simple 2X6 board pergola among early blooming lavender wisteria blooms and green leaves on a overcast day.

Many years ago a wonderful neighbor gave us this homemade birdhouse made out of natural resources. Bluebirds used it for years. I placed it among my climbing wisteria plant on top of a simple 6X4 board pergola. #photography #birdhouse #wisteria #nature #flowers

😂So true!

He sounds like he needs to carry around portable oxygen and use it.

I don't know if this helps, but I was recently told by a doctor that the vaccine for the new Covid variant is supposed to be available sometime in September.

They know the answers would be "Strongly Disagree" from the employees that would participate.

That's beautiful! I guess Elizabeth Taylor's "Passion" perfume bottle may be based on this?

A close-up photograph of a tiny shiny brown pollinator beetle crawling in the center of a small blooming bright yellow wildflower in the morning sun. Some petals show scattered specks of dusty grit from the ground.

A semi close-up photograph of a white blooming cactus flower in morning sunlight where the elongated multiple layers of petals cast shadows upon themselves. The pale green center of the bloom has delicate looking stamen made of slender white filaments with pale yellow anthers and a white stigma. The background is made of green cactus columns with spiny nodules, and fuzzy, hairy remnants of bloomed-out flowers.

A calming cactus flower for Sunday.

Sums it up quite nicely

Close-up photograph of a blooming rose of bright yellow and orange colors. The outer petals are yellow with tinges of orange around the edges, and the inner curving petals have more orange color. Along with green leaves and stems of a rosebush, two additional blooming roses of the same colors can be seen in the unfocused background.

Happy Friday!

A close-up photograph of a tree frog's face staring at the viewer with large black pupils ringed by golden irises. Its body is a mottled army green with a dark stripe running laterally along the body level with the eye and forming a "V" at the frog's nostrils. The frog is nestled at the top of a dusty green plastic watering can where the inside curve of the handle meets the opening of the vessel at the top.

Good morning!

Up until his death, Ozzy Osbourne’s goal was to ascend a stage one last time and thrill his fans.

When the subject of retirement came up in a 2020 Rolling Stone interview, Osbourne huffed. “Retire from what?” he said. “It’s not a job...." 🖤

A close-up photograph of a not fully opened blooming vibrant red rose. The inner petals are nestled in a spiral within each other, and a couple of irregular shaped outer petals are marred with bruised spots. The red color of the rose pops out against a lighter green background of out-of-focus rosebush leaves, and a bit of dark reddish pink dried roses.

Just a reminder that even if your some of your petals are bruised and tired, you can still bloom and bring beauty into the world. #photography #rose #red #flowers #nature #bloom
