A Canadian Goose stands atop a temple roof and spreads its wings in the sunrise. I titled it "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" when I meme'd it years ago
I meme'd this a while ago with "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"

A photo of a section the Huntington library's Chinese Garden framed through a window in the same garden. Outside looking outside. "Windows Of The World" by Ghost Legend Our windows to the outside world See all there is to be— How many a man and woman fold Their souls into inhumanity. Greenest of greed— These lustful seas Have their waves Crashing in its wake; Those that claim To be holy, And even rows Sailing for the sake Of discovering wealth, Encountering pride, Immeasurable edits On nature's tide. The impossible beckons, For all that reckon We'll make it Through the night. They see his rising, Watch her winding, But they might as well Be clasped, eclipsed, Forgetful of that they'll Keep on shining, And our pleasures shall Be relaxed, dismissed.
"Our windows to the outside world
See all there is to be—
How many a man and woman fold
Their souls into inhumanity."~Ghost Legend #Poem in Alt

A pair of African Daisy's Burgundy but fading to pink. "I'm Nobody! Who are You?" by Emiliy Dickinson I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell! They'd banish -- you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog!

This macro photo is of a purple African Daisy flower. Often called a Cape Daisy. Quote by Nicholas Sparks paired with it. "In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace."

A lotus blossom glows mightily in the morning sun. Its petals begin to peel away from the golden yellow seed pod within. Accompanied by a quote from Jay Kristoff "Dying is easy. Anyone can throw themselves onto the pyre and rest a happy martyr. Enduring the suffering that comes with sacrifice is the real test."

A moon bridge over a pond at the Huntington Botanical Gardens Japanese Garden. The rain pouring down in an unusual Souther California rainstorm. The pond water ripples with rings of impacts. Haiku included "Sing me lullabies, promise me a peaceful end The rainwater flows"~Kostas Lagos

Huntington Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place, but vast in all that is available to see. I was still recovering from meniscus surgery, so we didn't see much of it. What we did take in was impressive. #huntingtongardens #pasadena #scenic #thehuntington #photography #sightstosee #closetohome

A corpse flower starting it's flowering phase where it unfolds and starts to reel of burning garbage to attract carrion insects to spread its pollen/seed.
Managed to catch this mutha starting to flower. 😎👍
LET THE (like 2-3 day) REGIN OF THE CORPSE FLOWER BEGIN!!!!!

Photo of a bridge with three low arches, reflected perfectly in the still waters of the Chinese Garden. Off to the side and behind the bridge are Chinese pavilions, willow trees, and evergreens, with carefully placed natural rocks and flowering bushes. A true Ming Dynasty-style (16th-17th century) scholars' garden. Lots of shades of green.
Large multicolored koi - goldfish - gather in the water below a footbridge, hoping for a treat from a passerby. Some are brilliant orange, some have orange, red, white, and black mottling, some are pure white, and others have variations of those color schemes. One lone bright yellow koi fish is at the top right.
A single tall pink lotus blossom reaches high above the large lotus plant leaves and seed pods, its own nascent seed pod bright yellow in the center of the flower.
A closeup of a bright orange-red Flame Skimmer four-winged dragonfly sitting on a branch with green and yellow leaves. The dragonfly is almost entirely this vivid color, including the veins of its wings.
If you visit Los Angeles, please do make sure you take a trip out to #TheHuntington. Aside from the museums and library, there's a wonderful day to be had outdoors, particularly in the spectacular Chinese Garden, Liu Fang Yuan, which means Tthe Garden of Flowing Frangrance. 😍

Something big (and a little stinky) is on the way at The Huntington in San Marino 🌸💀 Our corpse flower is getting ready to bloom—expected in just a few days! 👀 #CorpseFlower #TheHuntington #SanMarino
Greetings. Still hanging in #LA. Spent hours at #TheHuntington #BotanicalGardens in #SanMarino, #CA. Amazing! Took tons of pics but could not get any of #butterflies until we were heading to the parking lot. ✌🏻😅

A snowy egret stands on the carved stone pillars of a bridge in the Chinese garden at the Huntington Library and Gardens. It gazes pensively at the water, searching for its next meal.
