Thanks to Brian ( macro merriment ), Achim, Christine S, Yoko Okamoto for their efforts in the ID.....is it a plum or Cherry blossom?

Peaceful Sunday

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."

John ch 1 v 5

Angel trumpet grows in the form of a bush or small tree that can reach 10 to 36 feet in height. The flowers of some species can reach 6 to 20 inches in length and 4 to 14 inches in width (fully open flower). The pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers hang upside down and can be pink, yellow, orange, red, green or white colored. Most species have a pleasant smell that is especially strong during the night. They need to attract moths (main pollinators of the flowers) that are active during the night. Every part of the angel trumpet is highly poisonous, including the leaves, flowers, seeds and roots.

Thank you so much for your visits, faves and comments. Have a great day!

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people

Livin' for today

Ah

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion, too

Imagine all the people

Livin' life in peace

You

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one.

John Lennon

Occasionally I encounter many feathers scattered in the back forty, clearly once belonging to a bird. Just as often I see a raptor--even an eagle swooping down for a quick snatch and grab.

This one feather seemed to have the only markings—the rest looked mostly white, but I didn't look too closely. I know this is all a part of life...but I don't like this aspect or the broader aspects.

It's unbelievable .. and heartbreaking ... and it makes me sad and anxious and very angry at the same time ...

my heart is with the ppl of the Ukraine

Crazy Tuesday: In the middle

Such a dreary, rainy day today. I wanted to use the rain to my advantage for this photo idea and have the heart in between the two raindrops (representing the tears shed for the people of Ukraine) but when I clipped it to the branch, the big drops fell. No problem, the heart is still in the middle of the frame so hopefully this image still works for the theme. My heart hurts for those involved with the conflicts going on in this world and I am struggling to understand how people can inflict pain on other human beings. It is truly heartbreaking. 💔

... symbolised through this close look at the bud of a Blanket flower / Kokardenblume (Gaillardia)

with the expression of hope that the people of Ukraine will soon be able to live in safety again.

Peace for Ukraine - Мир для Украины

Due to Putin's vile war against freedom and democracy in Europe, I will reduce my Flickr activities for a while.

I just can't go on at the moment as if nothing is happening ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wegen des niederträchtiges Krieges von Putin gegen Freiheit und Demokratie in Europa werde ich für einige Zeit meine Flickr-Aktivitäten reduzieren.

Ich kann momentan einfach nicht so weitermachen als würde nichts geschehen ...

Stay safe and free!

I posted this picture in 2021 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We need to stand with Ukraine again and show our support.

Support for Ukraine

I captured this image of a soybean field last fall in Knox County. I used the Skylum Luminar Neo software program to edit and filter the golden brown soybeans to yellow and deepen the blue of the sky. The Skylum company and team is based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Many on their team have remained in Ukraine and are working and sheltering. We have chosen to support Ukraine through Save the Children.

I have an idea, let us capture a moment in time

when nature was at its best

when the world was calm

when we thrived for peace

and not harm..

Lets bring in the New Year

with a cheer

and not a bomb

lets try to save this ideal

before its gone.. forever..

*

for those torn by war, I wish you no more hurt and harm

Peace for 2024 for all..

Enjoyed Vyshyvanka march in London last year. Can not wait for the next event.

Also, I just started this page – maxgor.com/faq. If you wanted to ask something photography related, send me a line to maxgor at outlook.com. I do not promise to answer all questions, but I will try to pick up those that appealing to my knowledge and skills.

inspired by

Toy Soldiers

Song by Martika

Step by step, heart to heart

Left, right, left, we all fall down

Like toy soldiers

It wasn't my intention to mislead you

It never should have been this way

What can I say?

It's true, I did extend the invitation

I never knew how long you'd stay

youtu.be/LvdLovAaYzM

.....

Vladimir Putin and your army and hired hands - you have stayed too long... Time to move on..

freedome for the Ukraine!

sunflowers are a key component of the Ukrainian economy, sunflowers as woven decorations in clothes and wear them as headdresses during celebrations.

the flower has historically represented peace.

I opened my Langston Hughes poetry book today at a random page; this is the first poem I saw.

#worldpeace #PeaceforUkraine

I Dream A World

by Langston Hughes

I dream a world where man

No other man will scorn

Where love will bless the earth

And peace its path adorn.

I dream a world where all

Will know sweet freedom's way

Where greed no longer saps the soul

Nor avarice blights our day.

A world I dream where black or white

Whatever race you be

Will share the bounties of the earth

And every man is free.

Where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind--

Of such I dream, my world!

⭐⭐Wow! Never been on Explore before; it is very exciting!!

Thank you to everyone for their likes and comments--it is very appreciated😊😊

Kyiv - Never Surrender by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)

A Free People never surrenders to unscrupulous liars and Assassin Dictators ! Glory And Peace to Ukraine!

A creative inspirational fantasy using stock images and images of mine. Elements modified and recreated.

The Building is the "House with Chimaeras" in Kyiv, Ukraine: An Art Nouveau building covered in animal gargoyles and grotesques.

The Polish architect Władysław Horodecki originally constructed the House with Chimaeras for use as his own upmarket apartment building during the period of 1901–1902.

Horodecki's unique architectural style earned him praise as the Antoni Gaudí of Kyiv.
