The sun setting over the trees. The sky is mostly grey and cloudy, but it’s starting to clear. There’s a small opening with beautiful shades of pink and blue.

A crow sits in a fully-blooming cherry blossom tree with the sun on his face. He's facing the camera, but looking off to the right. The background is filled with pink cherry blossoms, with patches of clear blue sky and greenery from surrounding trees.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom dominates the foreground, while a snow-capped Mount Fuji towers in the background. Below lies a calm lake and a small town, all under bright spring sunlight.

Just after sun up over a lake. A lone tree stands off to the left and fir trees surround the image. A blue sky with white puffy clouds is up above and reflected in the lake below. The Sun casts rainbow sunflares onto the lens of the camera.

Keeping it simple today: A bee approaching a flower.

My Italian great grandfather planted a three row deep border of tall bearded iris in our side yard.The scent was tempting.When I was a toddler I loved to get lost in it.They are my “Madeleine de Proust". Probably why I love purple as well. #smArtist #favoriteflower #Bloomscrolling #FlowerReport🌱
A tall stalk of bearded iris with 3 blooms today. They are at different stages of opening. There is one blossom that is totally open. Its standards are yellow.Deep purple falls. Blue violet standards. A fan of narrow green at its base.

Close-up of pink cherry blossoms in full bloom, with soft-focus pink flowers in the background. A branch of cherry blossoms stands out against the blurred silhouette of a traditional Japanese pagoda under a clear blue sky. Delicate pale pink plum blossoms with golden centers bloom on a branch, bathed in warm sunlight with a soft green background. A dense canopy of cherry blossoms fills the frame, with clusters of pink flowers creating a lush, almost endless sea of petals.

(info in Alt text)
The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Emma Lazarus, November 2, 1883 The 1903 bronze plaque located in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. https://www.nps.gov/stli/learn/historyculture/colossus.htm Interesting FAQs at: https://nps.gov/stli/faqs.htm Symbols on the Statue of Liberty What does the torch represent? The torch is a symbol of enlightenment; since her official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World." What is written on the Statue's tablet? The tablet in the Statue's left hand has the date of American Independence: July 4, 1776. The date is written in Roman numerals, and reads "July IV MDCCLXXVI." What does the Statue wear on her head? The Statue of Liberty wears a crown, or diadem. The rays above this crown represent light, like a halo, since she is the Roman Goddess Libertas. Where on the Statue are the broken chains located, and what do the chains mean? The broken chains are near the Statue's feet, and are not visible from the ground level. Many believe that the chains represent breaking free from tyranny and servitude. Independence Day, 4th of July, America USA

The sun coming up over the Thompson River in British Columbia, Canada. The sky is bright orange with scattered clouds, and there are several mountains and trees in the distance. There’s a mirror image on the water, making it look like it’s on fire.
