Birds, Bunnies and Boats

Kort Duce – @kortduce.bsky.social

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life. “ ~ John Burroughs

@dailybunnies.bsky.social

“A bunny’s twitching nose is like a heart’s whisper.” — Unknown

@Zandra-b.bsky.social

“If you be my boat
I’ll be your sea
The depth of pure blue
Just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing
And pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free.”
– excerpt from “Boats & Birds” poem by Maggie Gunning

    Inspiration

    This stunning photo is by @Cristy75.bsky.social

    My reaction to this is almost embarrassing. It simply filled me up. My juices started flowing, and I felt joy in every part of me. I’m going to save this because I will try from time to time to use my watercolors to attempt to get a small part of this effect. I know I will never reach it, but, WOW.

    I follow Floridiana on Blue Sky. She makes me envious of where she lives and works, but also of her artistry in photography. I look forward to her posts.

    I can almost HEAR the wave! And such beautiful color contrast between the water and the sky.
