Not all clouds bring rain🌧
Some put color in my day⛅🌈
Then, they float away

“Often, the truth stands quietly among the clamor of pretentious lies.”

It just never gets old!

To be courageous is to act with fortitude and composure in the face of fear.

To be “fearless” is to be unwise and foolish.

“Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
And weak men create hard times.”

The weak men are creating hard times right now.

I think they look pretty cool.

Un arbre solitaire profite des dernières lueurs du soleil d'hiver. Il est au milieu d'une prairie verte légèrement brumeuse et scintillante qui est soupoudrée de quelques feuilles. Bonne journée à vous 🫶📷

Lover's blush, a Friday dream
Heart beats within the shire
A silent, fading the gleam
Lone tree on sunset fire

Happy 2026!

The light will inevitably assert its dominance, sometimes in spectacular fashion, even after the darkest of nights!

Good morning Bluesky!

On behalf of nature, thank you!

Thank you!

Nature is the best show in town!

how about a #WeekDforDramatic #stormy #sunrise for #AlphabetChallenge.
you had to know I'd have something like this from #LemaRanch

#ponds #reflections #cloudscape

I felt like rhyming ✍🏼

Some days
I rise
like fire
Other times
I sink
into the pyre
When there’s
little left
to admire~
time
for the heart
to retire

#GoodMorningPhoto #photography

sun blazing over the sea, touched by a large cloud

the sun rises.
the sun falls.
no message hidden in the light
no lesson tucked inside the night

just color spilling over sea
and beauty—nothing more to be
a day beginning, a day spent
and awe is where the moment went

And it’s a huge flame.

Thank you!

To quote someone much wiser than I,
“When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.
When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn’t laugh,
it wouldn’t be the Tao”

“The sun lights the world with a single flame.”

Good morning Bluesky!

I love the morning sun!

Thank you! I get lucky sometimes!
