. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Guess what it is. No AI.involved.

  

Be honest now.

  

Well, if you guessed it is a mirrored image of a detail from an exotic Porsche sports car, you'd be correct.

Dragonflies/skimmers/damsel flies are my favorite insects. Landing on a favorite spot is part of their behavior.

This image is 3 separate images of the same skimmer.

Pleroma

(Greek πλήρωμα) generally refers to the totality of divine powers. The word means fullness from πληρόω ("fills") comparable to πλήρης which means "full", and is used in Christian theological contexts: both in Gnosticism generally, and by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 2.9.

 

Gnosticism holds that the world is controlled by archons, among whom some versions of Gnosticism claim is the deity of the Old Testament, who held aspects of the human captive, either knowingly or accidentally. The heavenly pleroma is the totality of all that is regarded in our understanding of "divine". The pleroma is often referred to as the light existing "above" (the term is not to be understood spatially) our world, occupied by spiritual beings who self-emanated from the pleroma. These beings are described as aeons (eternal beings) and sometimes as archons. Jesus is interpreted as an intermediary aeon who was sent, along with his counterpart Sophia, from the pleroma, with whose aid humanity can recover the lost knowledge of the divine origins of humanity and in so doing be brought back into unity with the Pleroma. The term is thus a central element of Gnostic religious cosmology.

 

Gnostic texts envision the pleroma as aspects of God, the eternal Divine Principle, who can only be partially understood through the pleroma. Each "aeon" (i.e. aspect of God) is given a name (sometimes several) and a female counterpart (Gnostic viewed divinity and completeness in terms of male/female unification). The Gnostic myth goes on to tell how the aeon wisdom's female counterpart Sophia separated from the Pleroma to form the demiurge, thus giving birth to the material world.

I'm a little bit OCD, so I gotta keep making these things, whatever they are, . . . :D

Seattle gets a lot of rain, and they are prepared for it.

 

Watch the drip lines.

This is the very last fireweed blossom that was blooming outside of our cabin door. Now it is gone, leaving behind nothing but a naked red stalk. I'm glad I caught it before it vanished.

I placed the same photo of this female Pied Kingfisher just without the reflection before.

Just curious about the feedback on this one compared to the last post.

The reflection in photo is created artificially in Photoshop CS 6

As always thanks for looking

You'll see a few photos on here that have come from my Aunt Jean's home or garden. She has a beautiful property and garden which she has been developing for years. Every corner is an absolute delight. Thankfully, she has said I can come whenever I like to get photos of her garden, the interior of her house or the wild turkeys that live on there.

Another rippled manipulation of my old Bob Ross painting. This is kind of basic but it's considerably better than my painting! :D
