A vivid macro photograph of a deep purple flower petal covered in glistening water droplets. A large, crystal-clear droplet sits near the tip of the petal, magnifying and reflecting a bright green floral shape inside it. Smaller droplets are scattered across the velvety surface, catching light and adding sparkle. The background is softly blurred with a dreamy mix of green and purple tones, creating strong contrast and drawing focus to the sharp detail of the petal and droplets.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPurple & my love for a wee #macro rain drop had me rummaging through the archives & tada! - I'm sure I have shared a much more close up look at the main water drop before but not this more elongated capture of the petal with its purple rain😊

"It's very nice to go trav'ling
To Paris, London and Rome
It's oh-so nice to go trav'ling
But it's so much nicer, yes, it's so much nicer to come home."

Let’s see what you brought home tomorrow!

Drone view of hot lava streams over dark black lava landscape. In the distance is a mountain with a patch of sunset brightness on the horizon. Blueish smoke rises.

A drone view over a river estuary where there are pretty channels meeting a paler grey area with visible streams and ripples. Looks a bit like a wave breaking.

A view over a hot bubbling pool with some colourful run-off. It looks a bit like a burning comet falling through the air, an eye with tears or lashes streaming from it, or a jellyfish with long tentacles. The pool is blue and the run off area is pale pink and green, with some green grasses and red rocks surrounding it.

Celebrating five years of drone ownership, renewing my flyer ID today with 38/40 on the test (yay!).

Here's a few of my favourite drone photographs from the past few years from #Iceland. Such a fun addition to my trips there :)

Ghosting Your Own Book: How to Cross the Finish Line When You Want to Run Away | Jane Friedman Faced with pursuing publication that might reopen old wounds, one memoirist overcame the challenge with help from therapy, community, and AI.

"Reliving my dark, dramatic coming of age story all over again—in a kind of high-speed time-lapse—got my scoliosis spine all flared up. ... So, for the sake of my health, I shelved it."

That's when Anne Pellicciotto's writers group asked her, “What’s happening with the memoir?”
