... is the best medicine -
as it has a mild anti-inflammatory effect although it is not allowed to be described as a medicinal product (German Drug Law). Honey was already known and used as a remedy to cure wounds and infections already in the Antiquity and High Middle Ages

whose wonderful visual poetry you can read here.
A very bright sun, some movement in the water, twirls, reflections and patterns yielded this water abstract.
Olive trees is the treasure that I inherited.

A walk in the valley, beautiful nature and silence - time for ourselves - is sometimes what we need ...
A golden opportunity.
The reflective portion of the water, lead my eye directly to the pair of moored fishing vessels.

On a clear day with a brillant sun, some water movement yielded a blue hued water abstract filled with reflections and patterns.
Everyone have a golden Sunday :-)

The trees took my breath away as they seemed to parade their colours before me like liquid gold. It was pure exhilaration crashing through the ice to the left. The whole bonanza of colours made me feel like a kid again. Perhaps, this, is my fountain of youth.... If I died tomorrow, I'd die a happy woman.

**Prompt :**
Portrait cinématographique ultra détaillé d’une femme à la chevelure flamboyante, profil gauche, yeux fermés dans une expression de sérénité mystique. Sa peau est lumineuse, texture hyperréaliste avec pores subtils, légère rosée naturelle, éclairage doux type golden hour caressant les reliefs du visage. Ses cheveux longs, roux incandescent, semblent vivants, s’étirant en volutes complexes et fluides, se transformant progressivement en arabesques dorées liquides inspirées de l’Art nouveau, rappelant des motifs organiques et décoratifs.
Dans ces flux dorés, des gouttes métalliques en suspension captent la lumière comme du miel incandescent. Des chauves-souris noires, aux ailes détaillées et légèrement translucides, émergent du décor, figées dans un mouvement naturel, ajoutant un contraste dramatique. L’arrière-plan est une composition riche, presque cosmique, mêlant nuit profonde bleutée et structures dorées rappelant une ville onirique ou des fragments d’architecture fractale, illuminée de milliers de petites fenêtres scintillantes.
Éclairage cinématographique volumétrique, avec particules flottantes dans l’air, profondeur de champ très faible (bokeh artistique sur les éléments secondaires). Rendu ultra photoréaliste en 8K, textures fines, détails extrêmes, reflets réalistes sur les surfaces dorées. Style fusion entre peinture classique et rendu CGI moderne, inspiré par Gustav Klimt mais avec une approche hyperréaliste contemporaine.
Caméra virtuelle : mise au point sur le visage, arrière-plan légèrement flou. Composition équilibrée, règle des tiers, sujet placé légèrement à gauche. Palette de couleurs dominée par l’or, l’ambre, le cuivre et le bleu nuit profond.
Ambiance : onirique, élégante, légèrement gothique, entre rêve et alchimie.

**Prompt:**
Ultra-detailed cinematic portrait of a woman with flowing fiery red hair, shown in left profile, eyes closed in a serene, almost mystical expression. Her skin is luminous and hyperrealistic, with subtle pores, natural softness, and a gentle blush. Soft golden hour lighting grazes her face, sculpting delicate shadows and highlights with a painterly touch.
Her long, radiant red hair appears alive, expanding into intricate, fluid tendrils that gradually transform into liquid gold arabesques, inspired by Art Nouveau patterns. These swirling forms feel organic and ornamental, as if her hair is dissolving into a dreamlike current of molten metal.
Within these golden streams, metallic droplets hang suspended in midair, catching light like glowing honey. Dark bats with finely detailed, slightly translucent wings emerge from the composition, frozen mid-flight, adding a subtle gothic tension and contrast.
The background is rich and immersive, blending deep midnight blues with complex golden structures resembling a surreal, dreamlike city or fragmented luminous architecture. Thousands of tiny glowing windows and geometric fragments shimmer softly, creating depth and visual intrigue.
Cinematic volumetric lighting, with floating particles in the air. Extremely shallow depth of field, artistic bokeh softening secondary elements. Ultra-photorealistic 8K rendering, extreme detail, realistic reflections on gold surfaces. A fusion of classical painting and modern CGI realism, inspired by Gustav Klimt yet grounded in contemporary hyperrealism.
Virtual camera settings: sharp focus on the face, softly blurred background. Balanced composition using the rule of thirds, subject slightly offset to the left. Color palette dominated by gold, amber, copper, and deep midnight blue.
Mood: dreamlike, elegant, slightly gothic, suspended between alchemy and fantasy.

The conditions must be just right. Yosemite Valley for about 3 days in the middle of February. Snow melt run-off creating a seasonal waterfall. Sun setting on a clear day. El Capitan as the last rays of sun disappear from its face. When everything comes together, you get about 10 minutes of pure magic - California Liquid Gold, compliments of Mother Nature.

Let me keep my mind in what matters,
Which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished ~ Mary Oliver
First time I laid eyes on the Italian Queen, I knew she was special. The worker bees have laid out a beautiful honey frame on both sides. This frame will be one of the few that will be extracted into honey this year. Honey extraction in Northern Nevada is traditionally the week of the 4th of July. This will be my first honey harvest.

About 4.30 in the morning with nobody around. Solitude, peace and the dawning of a new day in Marmaris, Turkey. Colour print from the archives. 1984.
Sola… eppure completa del suo mondo.
La piccola barca riposa sospesa tra oro liquido e mare profondo, mentre il tramonto incendia l’acqua e il tempo sembra sciogliersi piano.
Luce e silenzio… poesia salata.
---------------------
Alone… yet whole within its own universe.
The small boat drifts in liquid gold while the sunset sets the water on fire, and time simply dissolves into calm.
Light and silence… sea poetry.

The sun is setting in a burnt orange-red sky, the ship sails in a purple sky, the sea seems to be liquid gold
Except for cropping out the telephone lines, this is SOOC.
Just a week ago Shane and I were on the Renvyle Peninsular, watching the sun go down and me thinking what a brilliant end to a brilliant birthday.
Now, we are experiencing extreme snow and ice conditions and Winter has arrived with a big bang!
My Container of furniture arrived at the house today. Well, it arrived and then it went away.
The guys skated up our drive (whilst not very steep compared to my Aussie drive) must be the steepest one in Castlerock.
Not had much experience of frozen driveways and of course bucket loads of hot water only turned instantly into thicker ice!!
Whoops!
So the chaps skated back down the drive and took my girlie goodies away until Friday when the driveway will be salted to within an inch of its life!!!
Wahhhhhhh, I want my girlie goodies!!!
