A half-open bud of Rosa ‘Prosperity’ against the winter's blue sky. The petals present a crapy texture and a soft pink touch in this season. This bud will not fully open until it fades away.
Rosa ‘Prosperity’ (hybrid musk) bred by the Reverend Joseph Hardwick Pemberton (1919).
My friend, Mario Scattoloni, asked me to upload 10 works of mine with the goal of promoting positivity, passion, and attention to our love of art on Facebook for 10 days and this is my second creation. It is based upon my painting called "Save the Family" which is about my own family.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

The wall mural and altar outside the entrance to a house in the heritage area of Melaka, Malaysia. Note the water tap and bucket there; water is considered wealth too. Don't know why there are minions there :-)

This Tern chases all of the other Terns away from the tidal gate area at Bolsa Chica. He wants is all and he's quite successful!

Minor crop - best enlarged - it's easier to see the two fish he caught in his beak
This one of the techniques from the photoclass ...might look sloppy, but it's not easy to get right ;o) There is no photoshop features involved ..it's all made by the camera on normal settings and shaken not stirred ... lol
For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".
The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character 乾隆通寶 was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).
The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao 元寶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.
At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.
As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!
HMM!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

"Prosperity", a traditional Yorkshire fishing coble, hauled up on the beach at North Landing, Flamborough Head, Yorkshire.
also sounding like "lucky gold" in Chinese, kumkwat is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
It is a Chinese tradition to place a pot of fully bloomed kumkwat at home during the festive season.

Guang Fu Temple
The temple, which is a mix of modern and Art Deco architecture styles, is believed to be over 100 years old.
It started out as a small wooden temple with Tua Pek Kong as its resident deity.
Over the years, the temple was renovated and extended but some of its original furnishings such as the ornately carved wooden altar and the statues of the deities were maintained.
Today, other than the Tua Pek Kong, devotees can also offer prayers to other deities such as the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha in the temple.

May the Year of the Wood Snake bring you wisdom, success and much prosperity.
I make wishes for all my loved ones, especially my dear friend Danai.
Animal symbolism on a Korean soapstone carving (lid of an inkwell). Close-up. I was interested to see how an object almost uniformly black would look when photographed. Lighting is everything here as the object can only be seen due to the difference of light-absorbing and -reflecting parts.

It seems that bald eagles are doing well these days. It used to be the only way to see eagles was to head to starved rock during the coldest months as they would gather around the rock river. However, these days I see them pretty often. They are seen perched high above many of the area's lakes and marshes hunting for ducks or fish.
I actually now have two active eagle nests near my house. One five minutes away and the other around ten minutes.
I've forgotten how long it has been
since i have never again
listened to you telling your beloved fairytale
I've thought for a long time
I start to panic..have i done something wrong?..
..
You said to me with full of tears
Inside the fairytale are all lies
I cant possibly be ur prince
Maybe u can ever understand
You said "I love u ever after"
The stars in my sky has lightened up..
I'm willing to be that angle u love inside the fairytale
Spread up my hands.. become the wings to protect u
U must believe..believe that we can be like that in the fairytale
Prosperity and happiness is the ending : )

Lucky charm: pendant set with pieces of iridescent abalone shell, resting on pearly white haliotes ovina (Abalone) shell
Abalone are marine molluscs of the haliotes family, known for the pearlised iridescent blue, green and purple colours on the shell’s inner surface. There are also white varieties of the mollusc.
Abalone shell is said to invite good luck into your life and is valued in many cultures especially Chinese and Maori.

If you look really, really, really close, you can se a couple of the crew just sitting there enjoying the ride in.
Happy new year to you all. This was my first shot of 2014, having a stroll along the nearby shore in Edinburgh.
The year has started well for some of the local wildlife as they were treated to a new year brekkie. I hope the year is as prosperous for you as it has started for them :0)
In most regions of Ukraine, the crops have been sown for the growing season ahead. I thought this image of a tomato seedling would be a way to commemorate those efforts. In the face of an invading force with zero respect for human life, Ukrainian farmers bravely set the stage to feed large parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
With many farmers fighting in the war, the crop yields are expected to be lower this year. There’s no way to know how much lower, but it’s important to try to visualize this impact. Here’s a great resource that illustrates where Ukrainian crops get distributed across the world: ourworldindata.org/ukraine-russia-food . Match that data with global GDP per capital values ( www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-per-capita/ ) and you start to see some worrying trends.
Smaller countries with lower GDPs – such as Yemen, ranking 160th in the world for GDP per capita – will not have the ability to pay higher prices when food supplies are less available. Larger countries that are highly dependent on Ukrainian agriculture with higher GDPs such as Turkey would be able to pay higher prices, leaving other nations without sufficient purchasing power. When there isn’t enough to go around, some go without. It is critically important that Ukrainian farmers can do their good work for the benefit of many other nations. All countries should be prepared to grow more food locally this year as well.
The world has come to rely on peaceful globalization, where one country can provide an incredibly abundant resource to another. The problems begin when this resource cannot be replaced with anything produced domestically, and the transitionary period to find alternatives takes longer than your commodity reserves will last. This is true of food, but also oil and gas – where many countries are still heavily dependent on Russian oil.
Turning off the taps could mean societal collapse. Here in Bulgaria we are a net exporter of agriculture, but 95% of oil and gas comes from Russia. I feel guilty when I fill up my tank of diesel to complete more refugee aid runs; I’m paying Russia for the privilege. Thankfully immediate actions are underway to expedite the completion of a gas pipeline connecting to Greece, which is expected to be completed by the end of June. I feel like the world is moving quickly to compensate for everything, but it’s never quick enough.
I’d like to echo a further reminder that we can all help in various ways. You can create artwork supporting Ukraine – if you want to see a photo of the setup that created this image, it’s incredibly simple: donkom.ca/bts/IMG_1573.JPEG . The water droplet was placed with a hypodermic needle, and it was lit with a flashlight off to the side. But there’s more you can do: write to your politicians. Participate in rallies. Donate to charities capable of offering humanitarian aid; we have enough funds donated to us to continue doing supply runs for roughly another three weeks. We’ll keep doing it as long as we are able.
And to further amplify the signal, this image is also being dedicated to the Public Domain. Do with it what you want, no permission / license / credit / etc. required.
Also, some folks have been asking how we’re holding up. Personally, life is good. I’ll be sharing some images of a beautiful outdoor kitchen we constructed in January and February shortly. We keep in good spirits, we live comfortably, and we’re mostly through the bureaucratic processes here to make life in Bulgaria home forever. We’re happy and healthy. :)
