Good morning friends! Wishing you all a great week!

Watched the Korean movie “Forgotten” A bittersweet Agatha Christi like movie in the beginning due to the mystery, then when most is revealed it’s a bittersweet six degrees of separation example of what if and if only. Highly recommend the Korean version if anyone’s looking for a decent movie. #movie

A huge thank you for all the likes, reposts, and love this week! Grateful for this vibrant community. Keep sharing your magic! 💙🦋 #GratitudeWave #peace

Where golden light dances on canals and time slows to a whisper, lost in the labyrinth of half-timbered dreams, every bridge a promise to wander further. ִ ࣪ ˖ ࣪ ᨰꫀᥣᥴ᥆ꩇꫀ ! ᰔ ִ ׄ This is Deutschland 😊 #Augsburg #Bayern #FairytaleEurope #Wanderlust

The old bridge arches like a wish over emerald waters, daring hearts to leap, not just into the river, but into the soul of a city where every stone tells a story. ִ ࣪ ˖ ࣪ ᨰꫀᥣᥴ᥆ꩇꫀ ! ᰔ ִ This is Bosnia and Herzegovina 😊 #Mostar #StariMost #BalkanDreams #BeautifulEurope

Beneath the watchful eyes of ancient stones, the river hums secrets of knights and poets. Cross this bridge, and let the past pull you into its timeless embrace. ִ ࣪ ˖ ࣪ ᨰꫀᥣᥴ᥆ꩇꫀ ! ᰔ ִ ׄ This is Spain! 😊 #Besalú #Catalonia #MedievalMagic #BeautifulEurope

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ruffledfeathers any bird with feathers out of place. The alt is #gardenfeeder any bird on or adjacent to a feeder. Sorry I’m not around because of my trip, back to normal from Thursday morning. 😊 #birds #photography #ECK

He & his family 🎶 bob bob bobbed along to my olive trees.

Forever keeping an eye on us and surroundings a telling face in shape and place

Really Summer ? Which bit about Autumn don’t YOU get ? No comment, at this point Im tired of being lied to. #sunset #Australia #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #BlueSky #Photography #Landscape

Watching Law n Order the recent reboot. Mostly for background noise than anything else as I’m doing other “shit” But the dialogue on these shows is killing me 😂 Cop. *Dead bodies name was James boss. Boss leans over. Jimmy his name was “choking” Jimmy 😭 “See you on the other side Bruther” OMFG😂😂😂

Blue tit adding a dash of colour to a dull day. Have a good day folks #rspb.bsky.social #rspb.scotland.bsky.social #NaturePhotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birds #birdphotography #birdwatching #eastcoastkin

A Cellar Slug eating regurgitating then re-eating lettuce leaves we’ve left out for birds and passing insects. As you never know who’s in need of a meal. The little flashes of red you see are his eyes. Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday♥️ #wild #Australia #autumn #photography #insects #EastCoastKin

A little Sunday passion. Wishing everyone an absolutely positively amazing day♥️ *Peruvian Zinnia. From my daughter’s garden sun baking in the Autumn sunshine ☀️ #stunday #Stunning #EastCoastKin #Autumn #Australia #Sunshine #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Photography

#Illusive scent of a faded bloom dissipates. Taking memories of childhood summers. Receding to long lost days. Faded instances. That once you gathered. A vibrant youth left behind. To brittle and decay. The musk of yellow paper. Vivid recollections of people loved. Now drained a dusty grey. #vss365

Billions of thoughts fall creating a perfect storm. Pained words meld. A collective yearning. Fluttering trails surge descend to eddy smothering reality. The divine nature of being sitting upon the knife’s edge of existence Our sanity spirals #revolving within the eye of a craven world. #vss365

Omg The Peter doesn’t look like my dog 😭😭😭 He hurt himself and had to have surgery and because he’s so reactive and I can’t even groom him myself they offered to shave his face, butt and do his “nether regions” aka anal glands nails etc. He came home and he looks like a pointy face raccoon 🦝 😭😭😭

Light all but fleeting Raining late Shining radiance Upon gathering shadows I See blooms The colour of sunshine Basking now Faces turned Towards the last of her rays. A shower of Autumnal gold Hues so blinding I recall summer days And a life Spent with you. #Macro #Poem #YellowThu #poet

If these guys don’t make you smile then … um there’s no hope for any of us, all is lost 🤣 #Australia #Animals #Nature #wild #Quokas #EastCoastKin #BlueSky #smile #BeHappy

Tempest in a tea cup. Once a common expression, usually used by those wishing to diminish another’s feelings or the validity of those feelings. Many of these old adages can be patriarchal in nature and are at best condescending,at worst a complete dismissal of another’s feelings and beliefs #vss365

Bonkers Honkers. Most of the lakes bird population here are well fed and loved by all. And based on the fact that these guys bite the hand that feeds them, it’s much safer to chuck your food at their heads while running backwards🤣 #RedWed #birds #Australia #Wild #Nature #EastCoastKin #Photography

Last call for the remains of Summer. Please ! Every week I think finally it will turn then the weather forecast ramps up 🔥 temps and I am STILL not wearing socks. Next week coming we have MORE hot weather and I’m fully done 😭😐😭 #EnoughIsEnough #Sunset #Australia #LandscapePhotography #EastCoastKin

My biggest if not my only frustration is born of futility. Feeling powerless to change or prevent outcomes in others lives. Rarely for myself, if ever. I’m quite accepting of fate. Yet feel the deepest sadness and pain for others, their losses and the unfairness of life’s circumstance. #vss365

Clarity and clear skies. Wishing everyone peace. *Blind Bight Victoria Australia. #TidesOutTuesday #LandscapePhotography #Australia #Nature #EastCoastKin #photography

The dead don’t cry nor sit around wailing in the vain hopes of garnering passing sympathy. They’re far too busy applying for next life positions. Hoping against hope their previous life would be a glowing endorsement of suitability to enter a new life as ANYTHING other than a slug. #vss365 #Macro

Here’s to looking at the new week and hoping it’s a blinder (Australian for spectacular) Least that’s what this silly old coot said to me 😊 And if he said it then so it shall be, don’t think he’d lie to me ! * Eurasian Coot. #birds #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Nature #Photography #Australia

Hiraeth never #wavers Nor settles very far from its home. Dwelling in the space between sadness and grief. As one’s hope in its passing. Gives way to despair. Unfulfilled expectations A hearts dreams of belonging, of refuge. When exposed to the empty arms of reality. Are harshly laid bare. #vss365

Taking my dog out for his walk. Will be back in late afternoon to help Rob out with #BirdOfTheDay For the alt theme, I saw this guy yesterday. Now you lot behave, no show off photos and if you do you must accept your 4 minute 59 second ban from BOTD graciously. 😁 #pigeon #birds #photography #ECK

I watched as he laughed head back face turned towards sky yeasty beer in hand. While the sweet sharp smell of raspberry bubbles rose up bursting from my glass tickling my nose forever imprinted upon my small mind. Blurring the #divide of my childhood and his adulthood,as our smells combined. #vss365

Long stretches of Summer heat, insects smudged on windscreen Bare skin on car seats gritty clothes scorching sand, wilted homemade sandwiches soggy tomatoes, melted cheese, zinc cream, shade trees. Childhood. *Cape Patterson Vic #Australia #Stone #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #LandscapePhotography

Better example of what’s currently going on in my garden. She’ll eat his head 😭 afterwards to ensure she has enough sustenance to lay their eggs thus hopefully ensuring the survival of their species. * Giant Mantises. #FlyDay #CrittersThatFly #Photography #Autumn #Australia #Photo #EastCoastKin

There never were clear skies, you know the ones where their vibrancy electrified the very air creating a blinding blue. Hers? Melded into each other heavy, greyed with an omnipotent #overcast pressing presence leaving her feeling wearied,as though the world had stolen the air from her lungs #vss365

When just a little dab will do. Wishing you all a wonderful day. *Shasta Daisy 🌼 #MacroPhotography #YellowThu #Nature #BloomScrolling #Macro #EastCoastKin #Australia

I’m just a little crazy cold night on a summers day. A storm filled rage while the worlds insane. When dogs cry Im the noise in their howls. Words of a book spine broken on a dusty shelf. I’m an #entreaty within ones heart. The pain and the roar in your throat as you scream and shout. #vss365

Rock work at the base of the Reservoir wall as the landscape declines the rock wall grows in height. Looking ahead you can see the tiny figure of my daughter for perspective. #RockinTuesday #Photography #BlueTue #EastCoastKin #Photo #Landscape #BlueSky #PhotographersUnited

There’s no celebration #surpassing those you’ve left behind. Only an empty space filled with the sadness of walking alone one step ahead. #vss365

Dying light waxes urgency of existence. Purpled autumn she pauses alights upon hope. Creations coupling of unspoken #assurance An Intimate embrace. A deep rooted maternal cradling of burgeoning life. Shared expectancy. The hope of a future’s wings to unfold. #vss365 #Australia #ImageAndVerse #macro

Done ! Not sure how I feel about him. Im happy with the fact that this is my first piece trying an impressionist landscape but I’m not in love with him. I love the colours they are rich & beautiful, so I’ll have to sit n watch see if he grows on me. #Art #Painting #Artist #SelfTaught #Australia

Banks of kelp washed up on Shelly Beach. Doesn’t happen that often and will probably be gone in a couple of days. I like it as you can find all sorts of interesting beings living in the mounds waiting for the tide to take them back out to sea. #BlueSkyArtShow #Landscape #Australia #EastCoastKin

It’s turned. Heat peaks earlier then dissipates as afternoon shadows gather. Once night falls there’s a chill in the air,enough to make one hopeful enough to speak of socks n blankets. Seriously silly how small joys make a heart so happy but they do. #autumn #WoolySocks #WhereMyPantsAt #Australia

Sharp. #Corners razor edged. An unknowing darkness laid with wait its malfeasance filled with one’s own growing apprehension. The terror of fight or flight #vss365

I used to go to the #corner MilkBar some Friday’s to buy my lunch in primary school. If you were lucky enough to be given coins you could leave school grounds walk to the shop and purchase food. I was 4 1/2. Yes 4 1/2 years old walking distance’s alone to shops in traffic crossing roads. #vss365

So you have to have an IQ test to join the US military. The pass rate is 80. 79 is classified as mentally impaired. Do with that what you will. But it Means Bone Spurs daddy wasted his money as he wouldn’t have had to pay #Trumps way out of serving. And #Maga can’t join the army.

Time slows,morn quiets as though dawns awakening were stilled before light releases a quieted resonance. From sky to tree to bird to mouth life’s #precious exhalations,one’s that without pause would pass unnoticed in a world built with no patience for those whom pause to greet the day. #vss365 #poem

Is it weird to talk out loud when no one’s there Conversations recalled in your mind, arguments raging back n forth no reason loss or gain. Smiling to oneself at recollections small bejewelled joys that as time passed became more rare. Those #bonny meals looks across tables secrets shared #vss365
