This wedding robe was created during the cultural flowering of the late Tokugawa era when sumptuary laws paradoxically spurred greater creativity in luxury garment production. The rich benibana-dyed ground speaks to the garment's aristocratic provenance, 1804-1818, Japan

Taken on the same day from a different perspective, this photo looks behind the scenes of the restoration process at the colonnades opposite the palace. The South Commun can be seen in the backdrop. #PalacesAndGardens #SunriseOrSunset #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

#PinkWednesday This is "Hope Blooms" by Jean Wallace. On this Crabapple Hill pattern she added color to the flowers with colored pencils and then embroidered around the picture. The pattern and execution makes for a sweet quilt.

#TuesdayBlue "Bali Star Wedding Ring" was created by Bobbi Whitlock who did both the piecing and the quilting. This was a 3 year plus project. She said the piecing went pretty fast, but it took 2 years to quilt and 1 year to bind. Proof positive that quilters can accomplish big things.

#NollaignamBan The first woman admitted to the all-male Royal Astronomical Society, Agnes Mary Clerke's analyses were so reliable, thoughtful & wide reaching that she became a revered authority. The Clerke lunar crater was named to commemorate her. www.dib.ie/biography/cl... #DIBLives

St Issui's, Partrishow, Monmouthshire. No reason for the photo other than I was scrolling my photos and it came up, and I was reminded of a wonderful day of peace and beauty in a church where time has stood still. A day to hold on to in troubling times.

Going to walk the dog now as I’ve cleared the snow off the car. ❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶 Be back in around 4 hours to see the rest of the #BirdOfTheDay entries. Here’s a Robin standing in the snow asking why I didn’t stock up on meal worms after yesterday’s feeding frenzy. 😂😂 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
