May the light always find you on a dreary day .

When you need to be home may you find your way .

May you always have courage to take a chance ,

and never find frogs in your underpants ☘

and the micro life in them.

I shoot this celery stick with a beautiful evening sunlight. I wanted to freeze the pattern of the fibers inside but the sunlight wasn’t strong enough. Nevertheless I am happy with this green celery abstract. :-)

This rose is growing on the wall outside one of the shops in the Square - it really is rather pretty!

Dans ma bulle beautiful photos are always soft and sensual which to me are precious sources of dreamy inspiration.

 

And I love this exquisite photo from her gallery so much Bercements which has inspired me to do this sketch, please take a look ^_^

 

🎶 Instantly, it reminds me of a slow dance with a beautiful lover Sway Diana Krall

 

Thank you so much, Dans ma bulle.

In your gorgeous bubbles, you create a world of dreams

I hope you like my humble painting

 

When marimba rhythms start to play

Dance with me, make me sway

Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore

Hold me close, sway me more

 

Like a flower bending in the breeze

Bend with me, sway with ease

When we dance, you have a way with me

Stay with me, sway with me

 

Other dancers may be on the floor

Dear, but my eyes will see only you

Only you have that magic technique

When we sway, I go weak

 

I can hear the sounds of violins

Long before it begins

Make me thrill as only you know how

Sway me smooth, sway me now

 

Other dancers may be on the floor

Dear, but my eyes will see only you

Only you have that magic technique

When we sway, I go weak

 

I can hear the sounds of violins

Long before it begins

Make me thrill as only you know how

Sway me smooth, sway me now

  

Romance begins with love & a single rose...

Happy new week my friends, enjoy =)

This Northern Shoveler Drake is quite exquisite with all of those colors. I always smile a bit when I see their huge bill, but this must enable them to take their ability dabble for food to the next level.

Achillea millefolium, commonly known as yarrow common yarrow, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Asia and Europe and North America. It has been introduced as a feed for livestock in New Zealand and Australia, where it is a common weed of both wet and dry areas, such as roadsides, meadows, fields and coastal places. In New Mexico and southern Colorado, it is called plumajillo (Spanish for 'little feather') from its leaf shape and texture. In antiquity, yarrow was known as herbal militaris, for its use in stanching the flow of blood from wounds. Other common names for this species include gordaldo, nosebleed plant, old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, thousand-leaf, and thousand-seal. The plant has a strong, sweet scent, similar to that of chrysanthemums. Achillea millefolium is an erect, herbaceous, perennial plant that produces one to several stems 0.2–1 m in height, and has a spreading rhizomatous growth form. 18939

I can't imagine not having flowers.

The Rüstem Pasha Mosque is an Ottoman mosque located in Hasircilar Carsisi (Strawmat Weavers Market) in Eminönü, Istanbul.

 

It was designed by Mimar Sinan ("Sinan the Architect") for Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha (who married one of the daughters of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah). Its building took place from 1561 to 1563. The mosque is famous for its exquisite Kutahya tiles, set in beautiful floral and geometric designs, which cover not only the facade of the porch but also the mihrab, minbar, walls, and columns.

 

The plan of the mosque consists of an octagon inscribed in a rectangle. The dome rests on four semi-domes; not on the axes but in the diagonals of the building.

 

The arches of the dome spring from four octagonal pillars— two on the north, two on the south— and from piers projecting from the east and west walls. To the north and south are galleries supported by pillars and by small marble columns between them.

And at night you will look up at the stars...

In one of the stars I shall be living.

In one of them I shall be laughing.

And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...

You, only you, will have stars that can laugh!

The exquisite trunk on the previous Duesenberg. The details are amazing, and some talented craftsmen spent a lot of hours of very careful work on this. Not something for muddy wet roads at speed.....

Living is Not Enough. One Needs Sunshine, Freedom... and Flowers

- Hans Christian Andersen

 

Each of my days begin with a quest for joy, a search that varies in difficulty. Today, it was a ranunculus blossom that delivered a smile.

 

These flowers, with their almost impossibly perfect, rose-like blooms and tissue-thin petals, are a visual delight.

 

Their spectrum of colors, from soft creams to vibrant burgundies, is simply breathtaking. While often reserved for high-end arrangements and bridal bouquets, their exquisite beauty has the power to transform an ordinary day into something special.
