Composite inspired from sights in and around the St. Petersburg, Florida pier to include: outside the Dali Museum, outside the Museum of Fine Art (MFA), mosaic tile work from Xenobia Bailey's, “Morning Stars” on display at the pier and some subtle texturing by Janet Echelman's "Bending Arc" also on display at the pier.

Happy Slider Sunday - HSS

💙💛

I´m way too furious to express my mood in a constructive way.

So I´m using this as a mantra and a prayer for hope:

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance

sing along ♫

L♥ve From America ☮💙💛💙💛☮

To the amazing people of Ukraine: Your bravery and love of your country are incredible things to be witness to. I hope your actions serve to show everyone around the world what it means to come together in a time of crisis. It is terrifying to watch, but amazing to see. Stay strong! The world is on your side ♥ #standwithukraine

.. of this vile war of Putin against the Ukrainian people!

And unfortunately there still is no peaceful end to the senseless killing and destruction in sight.

May Russia end its shameful acts as soon as possible and retreat to where it belongs!

My very best wishes to Ukraine for Independence Day

and for a victory against the aggressor as soon as possible.

For a life in PEACE and FREEDOM for all of us!

“The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.”

Peace

Hello, friends.

Thank you all for your support. For the message. I'll answer you later. Don't take offense please. I hug you, friends. I'm not in a very good mental state right now. The horrors created by the occupiers are incomprehensible. If you watch the news, you probably know what's going on in my country. The genocide of my people.

This is not a war of putin alone, this is a war of the russian people against the Ukrainian people. They hate us and want to destroy us. Do not look for good, innocent russians, they do not exist, they are all to blame. russia was like that before putin and will be like that after putin.

So much grief.

But we will win! We are strong and the truth is on our side. With us the entire civilized world. You are incredible!

Glory to Ukraine!

#StandWithUkraine

Hello, my dear friends!

Today is our embroidered day. We wear shirts and dresses with embroidery. Our national symbols are full of meaning and life.

The war is taking away so much from us, but we will never give up and will not allow the enemy (russia) to destroy our identity. So we honor our traditions, especially in this difficult, tragic time for all of us.

We are strong, we are Ukrainians and we will win!

Glory to Ukraine!

💛💙💛💙💛💙

I haven't done one of these shots in a long time so I didn't notice how tarnished my silver-plated scalloped dessert spoon had become until I downloaded this - but I guess it’s quite apt in the light of the Ukrainian conflict 💙🇺🇦

Sunflower fields forever - Stand with Ukraine - John B - 3

I'm experimenting with Geometry Nodes in Blender 3.0

#standingwithUkraine

Hi friends.

I'm still alive. More or less all right. As much as possible during the war. And I came up with a new artwork I did a couple of days ago.

My heart is full of pain, my mental state is very strange. I will analyze all this after our victory. But now I live moment by moment and dream of the future. About mine, about my Ukraine and the whole world. It gives strength as well as your support.

Our land, our traditions, our history, our symbols, our anthem, our freedom - this is us.

We will win!

Buttercup / Gold-Hahnenfuß

(Ranunculus auricomus agg.)

taken almost two years ago on a hike in Black Forest - a lovely place with blossoming trees and lush meadows with buttercups and common brooms - how time flies and times have changed !

[ playing around a bit with textures again; it's so called "organic dirt" in Analog Efex, but it reminds me of teardrops and I thought it was fitting these dire times. I changed the background hues, too, from some sort of bottle-green to more blue-ish hues ]

♥ Love & Peace ! ♥

Take a few minutes, it's worth it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcps2fJKuAI

I would like to wish people of Ukraine PEACE !!!

Ukrainische Nationalhymne - Anthem of Ukraine

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Os-RpmkBUU

В Україні палають міста, Україна у вогні, але Україна стоїть і буде стояти, як стоять ці столітні дуби Києва. Слава Україні!

«Четвертые сутки пылает граница, Горит у врага под ногами Родная земля.».

Граждане России, зачем вам наша земля?

Вам своей земли мало?

Зачем вашим детям и мужьям умирать в Украине?

Вы думаете, что украинцы живут по принципу «моя хата с краю»?

Неужели вы не знаете продолжения этой поговорки?

По русски оно звучит так: -«Я первый врага встречаю».

Оно вам надо?

Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus (theatre, anno 1969) / Düsseldorf / North Rhine-Westphalia / Germany

For Alla and Elena from Kyiv who refuse to be chased away from their home city

«Я давно знаю, что, когда умирают люди и земля принимает грешные их тела, ничего не меняется в мире — другие люди продолжают вершить свои будничные дела. Они так же завтракают. Ссорятся. Обнимаются. Идут за покупками. Целуются на мостах. В бане моются. На собраньях маются. Мир не рушится. Все на своих местах. И все-таки каждый раз я чувствую — рушится. В короткий миг особой той тишины небо рушится. Земля рушится. И только не видно этого со стороны.»

/Юрий Левитанский - поэт и переводчик, Участник Второй мировой войны. Родился в Козельце, Черниговская область, Украина. Умер в Москве./

Сегодня российская армия бомбит Чернигов и Киев, убивает мирных жителей.

"Разом нас багато, нас не подолати"!

„Razem jest nas wielu, nie możemy zostać pokonani”!

“Together we are many, we cannot be defeated.”

“Вместе нас много, нас не победить”!

"Ensemble, nous sommes nombreux, nous ne pouvons pas être vaincus."

“我们在一起很多，我们不能被打败。”

„Kartu mūsų daug, mūsų negalima nugalėti“.

"Samen zijn we met velen, we zijn niet te verslaan."

"Kopā mēs esam daudz, mūs nevar uzvarēt."

"יחד אנחנו רבים, אי אפשר להביס אותנו".

Stand with Ukraine - Flores de Santa Gemita - 121521

As we transition from winter to spring and the ice melts, many of us are looking forward to emerging out of our pandemic isolations and seeing new life emerge on the earth around us. I am also hoping that the Ukrainian people can find the strength for continued hope and a chance for renewal soon. Enjoy this Slider for Sunday.
