A dirt road through a forest surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves. In my area of Michigan the yellow are most likely hickory trees and the orange will be oak. The path is one lane wide and starts in the lower left and disappears over the crest of a small hill, leading into the unknown.

Samhain [sow-wen]: the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter — the moment when Beira the Cailleach, Queen of Winter, regains control over the landscape from the Queen of Summer, Brigid. It also marks the moment when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the origins of Halloween. Mountain spirits come to the fore at this time of year.

Had a lovely visitor to the garden the other day👇.

Haven't posted much lately. Been really busy, my big lens in on the fritz, & I'm getting ready for back surgery this fall so my posts/replies will be sporadic.

Closeup photograph of a yellow eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly grasping a pink bee balm floret with out of focus bee balm flowers and green foliage in the background. The butterfly takes up most of the right center frame. It is grasping a floret with its legs, its body is hanging downward, and its proboscis is inserted into the same floret down while facing the flower with its wings open leaving its back, the back of its head, and the back of its wings visible. Eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies have yellow wings with black edging, short black vertical stripes near the wing top, yellow and black veining, black edges along the sides and bottom of their wings with yellow scallop-shaped spotting and small metallic-blue and orange spots near the bottom-center of the wings, black bodies and heads covered in fine hairs, yellow stripes along either side of the back and head, large black compound eyes, two long, black antennae, and six black, segmented legs, and a long black proboscis used for probing the interiors of flower for nectar.

I was in the mood for some soft and dreamy pastel colors, so I painted this little pastel bird. Enjoy!

Flowers against the November blues...

Every summer I enjoy the beautiful bright red poppies that bloom throughout the garden and fields.

#Photography #BlackAndWhite #AnalogPhotography #Monochrome #Nature #Tombzz

A black and white analog photo showing a dense, shadowy forest. Up front, two thick, twisted tree trunks grab your attention, their rough bark lit up by sharp beams of light cutting through the scene. In the background, a whole crowd of thinner trees fades into the mist, but there’s still plenty going on. Light slices through at an angle, catching bits of bark and leaves, making the whole place feel alive and uneasy. The ground’s rough, with patches of grass and scattered rocks. The mood is tense and mysterious, like the forest’s hiding something. A soft vignette around the edges pulls your eyes toward the center, where the light feels almost theatrical.

"Great art picks up where nature ends." ~ Marc Chagall

#quote #artists #nature

A group of artists with easels in the shade of the trees in the local arboretum. The trees have green leaves and the mowed green grassy lawn is well covered with the shadows of the tree branches and overhead leaf cover. Under one of the trees is a smaller plant or young tree with bright red leaves. In the distance is an open area with bright sunlight. A couple of the artists appear to be in conversation with each other near another artist who is intently working on their piece.

Roads have the ability to take us to fantastic places, but it's a partnership: they break a path, but we have to walk, bike, drive, or fly upon that path.

She walked at her own pace, in her own way, thought her own thoughts, and refused to copy others, stumble in and out of trends, live in fear, or keep up on the "news."

And she found that she was quite content.
