Dying Is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I have a call ~Sylvia Plath #photography #art #bloomscrolling #flower #imageandverse #mood #photographersofbluesky

Your molecular structure is really somethin' fine A first-rate example of functional design Those cosmic undulations are steady comin' through Your molecular structure baby, me and you ~Fiona Apple #BloomScrolling #Photography #Macro #MacroPhotography #PhotographersOfBluesky #art #ImageAndVerse

That’s what it feels like when you touch me. Like millions of tiny universes being born and then dying in the space between your finger and my skin. Sometimes I forget. ~Iain Thomas #Photography #BloomScrolling #PhotographersOfBluesky #Art #Flower #Foto #macro #macrophotography #ImageAndVerse

I just decided to edit my website- add & delete some photos. These photos have been collected over the past decade, some of/most of them never to be recreated. I clicked on one I wanted gone- pressed “delete”…. Deleted the entire gallery section. Can’t bring ‘em back. No longer on my computer. Gone.

I see now that the path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being—one of many ways—and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming. ~Daniel Keyes #classicmono #photo #photographersofBluesky

My body's a temple But nothing is simple Silence is golden I have been broken Something was stolen Safe in my own skin ~Garbage #nature #turtle #photography #foto #photographersofbluesky #naturephotography #imageandverse

So if this is true, none of us will live to see the USA healed, let alone back to the way it was; America is Gone (for our) Forever. Ya know, it’s getting pretty fucking difficult to muster the motivation to get out of bed and function anymore… 😫

Got this shot yesterday when I was out n about, and thought it too cute not to share (though admittedly I’m hoping the turtle had good intentions and not nefarious ones for the goose here 🤨). #Photography #Nature #BirdPhotography #bird #turtle #PhotographersOfBluesky #Foto

I move around hungry, sniffing the moonlight, drifting around the hills, hunting for you, your passionate kisses, like a cougar prowling in the streets at Midnight. ~Avijeet Das #BloomScrolling #Flower #Photography #Red #PhotographersOfBluesky #ImageAndVerse #Foto

The Hopeless Romantic in me wants to Love you for the Rest of Eternity. The Realist in me accepts that we were just never meant to be. The Dreamer in me Wishes you would let me into your heart, and the Savage in me wants to Rip your Fucking Soul apart. ~Anon #Bloomscrolling #imageandverse #art

My photography is OFFICIALLY sent off to a local flower shop to be hung and displayed among the flowers! (I’ll post pics of the shop when we get it all settled and hung up)

Mother of Muses, sing for my heart Sing of a love too soon to depart Sing of the heroes who stood alone Whose names are engraved on tablets of stone Who struggled with pain so the world could go free Mother of Muses, sing for me ~Bob Dylan #BloomScrolling #PhotographersOfBluesky #ImageAndVerse #war

Question: Is it considered rude to send a gift to someone after they explicitly stated that unless it’s a gift exchange, they’d really rather not receive a gift - it makes them feel uncomfortable to be a lone recipient. Or is the recipient rude for being anything but grateful?

Don’t you hate it when you’re editing a document & you highlight one word & press delete & the entire document disappears? Yeah, I just did that with my website- an entire album gone, cause I tried to delete one photo. This, after waking up at 3 AM, tossing & turning, giving up & working.🤬

Sit and cry And say goodbye And sing this sad, sad song You can bring me flowers, baby When I'm dead and gone ~Ray Lagmontagne #Photography #Macro #Monochrome #ClassicMono #MacroPhotography #Foto #PhotographersOfBluesky #Photographer #Rose #Art #ImageAndVerse #Bloomscrolling

Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were. Butterflies for instance, and women who've been in love with the wrong man too often. ~Alice Hoffman #Photography #Macro #MacroPhotography #Butterfly #BloomScrolling #Art #Nature #PhotographersOfBluesky #ImageAndVerse #Foto
