Brown knapweed (Centaurea jacea) Long revered in European folklore and historically featured in romantic divination games where young women placed plucked flower heads in their blouses to predict when the "man of their dreams" would appear.🩷 #ColorADay #MagendaMon #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #ECK
I met this magpie friend behind a construction site and offered him lunch. Judging by his gluttony, it was very welcome. 💙 #BirdOfTheDay #OpenBeaks #Corvid #Bird #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBForBehind #Photography #EastCoastKin
In the heat of summer, the best place to find a cooling breeze during an afternoon nap is next to the balcony door. #caturday greetings lovely Luna🩶 #CatsOfBlueSky #cats #photography #ECK
On this lazy Saturday afternoon the birds are still being observed...although less intense due to the summer heat. #caturday greetings sweet Sunny. 🖤 #CatsOfBlueSky #cats #photography #ECK
Magpies must be treated with all the dignity of sentient beings. They follow me to the edge of the forest for a snack and I don't want to disappoint them.💙☺️ #BirdOfTheDay #Rocks #photography #Corvids #ForestFriday #ECK
This is beautiful Garden Loosestrife (Lysmachia punktata) in full bloom. It has established itself in the forest as an invasive species. It´s a fast spreading plant that forms lumps via rhizomes and can spread aggressively in the forest landscape.💛 #ForestFriday #Bloomscrolling #photography #ECK
There is a wilderness in little girls. We could not contain it. It made magic of the rain and a temple of the forest. We raced down narrow trails, hair flying wind-wild behind us. We made ourselves into warriors, into queens, into goddesses. ― Kate Alice Marshall #ForestFriday #ChildhoodForest #ECK

#WhiskersWednesday wisdom approved by lovely Luna 💙 Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you're feeling bad, just look at the cats, you'll feel better, because they know that everything is, just as it is. ― Charles Bukowski, On Cats #CatsOfBlueSky #Cats #photography #ECK
A majestic pine whose life cycle seems to be coming to an end, but its value is not diminished at all, its purpose is just changing. Dead standing trees are referred to as wildlife trees because they provide essential habitat for many birds, insects and mammals. 💚 #ThickTrunkTuesday #forest #ECK
This is what has been called the dialect of moss on stone - an interface of immensity and minuteness, of past and present, softness and hardness, stillness and vibrancy, yin and yan. 💚 ― Robin Wall Kimmerer #RockinTuesday #forest #trees #rocks and #moss #photography #EastCoastKin
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense) Red clover's symbolism lies in life's constant evolution and rebirth. It is used magically for banishing, protection, clear sight and love. 🩷 #ColorADay #PinkMonday #Bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #photography #ECK
Like brushes on a distant drum And for a breath, the world was still— A hollow ring across the hill. I almost heard the azure song A heavy rhythm, deep and long As if the bell, in silent hues Was softly tolling out the blues. 💙 #ImageAndVerse #forest #bloomscrolling #photography #StunDay #ECK
In the hollowed root or 'neath the bough, Where heavy bark meets mossy brow, The forest breathes a quiet vow To keep you safe and hidden now. 💚 #ImageAndVerse #forest #trees #photography #EastCoastKin
Old pines reach for the bright blue sky Deep in the woods where shadows play The forest breathes the heat of day A quiet peace in every bough All of summer held right now 💙 #ImageAndVerse #forest #trees #photography #EastCoastKin
I tried to sneak up on Luna to take a picture without her noticing me. It was doomed to fail. She's a cat, so she has more senses in one whisker than I do in my entire body. 😁 This message was approved by lovely Luna.🩶 #WhiskerWednesday #CatsOfBlueSky #cats #photography #ECK
Well, the cat is flourishing and gets more spoiled and more beautiful every day. His whiskers measure, from tip to tip, including his mouth and nose, of course, ten inches, pure white whale bone. ― Elizabeth Bishop This message was approved by sweet Sunny🖤 #WhiskersWednesday #CatsOfBlueSky #ECK
This rose shrub in the yard is a real star. J.F.Grootendorst is a variety of wrinkled roses that has become famous all over the world.❤️ #ColorADay #RedWed #Bloomscrolling #RoseWednesday #photography #ECK
Enter the forest and the boundaries of nations are forgotten. It may be that sometime an immortal pine will be the flag of a united and peaceful world. -Enos Mills #ThickTrunkTuesday #tree #forest #ECK #photography
The flower forget-me-not is called 'lemmikki' in my native language Finnish and translates to 'a pet' or 'the one that is loved' 💙 #ColorADay #BlueTue #Bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #forest #flower #ECK #photography
Don't you see? You created this forest! It is your imagination that has given these trees the water to grow. It is your hopes that blazed a path through it. It is your dreams that give it the magic. All of this was created from within you! 💚 ― Michael Delaware #RockinTuesday #ECK #Photography
When magpies trust you they communicate this by not flying away when you approach, or like these two by following me. Their playful curiosity make every encounter feel like a small gift of nature. 💙💙 #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJune26 #Corvids #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Nemesia 'Poetry Deep Pink'🩷 With a fragrance that whispers of vanilla and ripe fruit, the Nemesia is the soul’s sweet reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate the little joys in life. #MacroMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon #Bloomscrolling #flowers #photography #EastCoastKin
Columbine flowers are steeped in centuries of folklore. In ancient times, the flower was dedicated to goddesses of love, including Freya (Norse), Aphrodite (Greek), and Venus (Roman). 🩷 #ColorADay #PinkMon #Bloomscrolling #flowers #photography #EastCoastKin
…just a tree, a stiff weed. You don’t see its history, feel the pumping of the sap, hear every insect in the bark, sense the chemistry of the leaves, notice the hundred shades of green, the tiny movements to follow the sun, the subtle growth of wood... 💚 ― Terry Pratchett #ColorADay #GreenSat #ECK
Magpies love to hear words which they can speak; and not only do they learn them, but they enjoy it; and as they repeat them over to themselves with the greatest care and attention, make no secret of the interest they feel. 💙 ― Pliny the Elder #BirdOfTheDay #BlueSkies #birds #ECK #Photography
'I will do just as you wish' said no cat ever. -Laini Taylor Lovely Luna approved this message as common sense. 🩶 #Caturday #cat #CatsOfBlueSky #catlovers #photography #EastCoastKin

If a tree falls in the forest there are other trees listening.💚 ― Peter Wohlleben, The Hidden Life of Trees #ForestFriday #scape #forestbathing #trees #rocks and #moss #photography #EastCoastKin
