A lotus blossom, long a symbol of reincarnation, prepares to drop its petals and enter the next stage of life. Its yellow center soon to develope into a seed pod to be born again. Quote by Henry Miller included. "Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. The other eight are unimportant"

A Canadian Goose stands atop a temple roof and spreads its wings in the sunrise. I titled it "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" when I meme'd it years ago

I meme'd this a while ago with "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

I wonder if that's why I always see video of birds riding on the back of crocodiles. 💜

Beautiful picture. And one of my favorite quotes. 💜

A peach rose blows amber in sun of the morning. Wound tightly it begins to open itself to the world and show its heart. "Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."~Plato

A mostly monochrome photo of an iris flower battered by the rain. It hunkers over its center. Protecting the golden inside. "So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them." — Sylvia Plath

A bright pink water lily fills the frame. Its yellow center glowing like the sun. Its tiny petaloids reaching out for the air. Haiku by Rafael Cazares included "The man of mirrors, Fixated, he does not move, But slowly he fades"

It is pretty cool isn't it? 🤣❄️

A tree branch became stuck against a rock in the Presumpscot Falls river. It sticks out catching the water and the cold creating as frozen tear as the river flows past. Poem by Saiom Shriver included "Winter begins springing Bells commence their ringing The frozen river stars her tireless singing"~

A small bird takes a moment to stop on a Romanesque fountain for a drink of water. Calm to the world as the water flows over its feet. Lyrics to Rise Against's "Nod Included "I'm pleading for something 'till my throat is sore Standing in water that's been rising before I was born"

A yellow Mexican prickly poppy. The pretty flower above the spiky leaves. Pain and pleasure. "He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends."~Oscar Wilde
