All summer long, bees were in and out of our Rose of Sharon bushes getting covered in pollen. 🐝 😊

‘Fun at the Beach’ (2025)
When visiting Venice Beach, Florida in June, I noticed this child having fun digging in the sand.

A festive close-up captures a lush Christmas arrangement, where dense fir greenery, lightly dusted as if with frost, frames a warm and intimate scene. At its heart rises a delicate golden spiral, standing upright like a tiny tree made of intertwined rings and symbolising the “five golden rings” from the carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Around this shining centerpiece cluster rustic pinecones and glossy red berries, their round shapes echoing ornaments and adding rich splashes of red that contrast with the green. Warm, golden-toned light bathes the entire composition, making the metal glint and the colours glow, so that the arrangement feels like a small, symbolic still life of Christmas abundance and joyful anticipation.
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…five golden rings… 🎶🎶

This black-and-white photograph captures the interplay of light and shadow on a textured wall. The composition is defined by sharp, angular shadows cast diagonally across the surface, creating a dynamic geometric pattern. The contrast between the illuminated areas and the deep shadows enhances the texture of the wall, emphasizing its rough, tactile quality. The lighting is dramatic, almost sculptural, transforming an ordinary wall into an abstract study of form and contrast. Dieses Schwarz-Weiß-Foto fängt das Zusammenspiel von Licht und Schatten auf einer strukturierten Wand ein. Die Komposition wird durch scharfe, winklige Schatten geprägt, die diagonal über die Oberfläche verlaufen und ein dynamisches geometrisches Muster erzeugen. Der Kontrast zwischen den beleuchteten Bereichen und den tiefen Schatten betont die Textur der Wand und unterstreicht ihre raue, haptische Qualität. Die Beleuchtung ist dramatisch, fast skulptural, und verwandelt eine gewöhnliche Wand in eine abstrakte Studie von Form und Kontrast.

An intact window of a long-abandoned apartment building reflects a bright summer sky.
I poked around inside too, but the first floor wasn’t super interesting, just dark. I’m pretty sure that I heard animals of some sort on an upper floor. #sensoryarts #mirror #eastcoastkin
