On the left a white-face hornets' nest we found in the forest.
It has the same intricate weaving as the baskets hanging in my kitchen.
What a marvel of engineering! ...

"Be it the famous Castro Theater, or your front yard hydrangea, gold and blue is an attention getter. And getting a last, late entry in for P&G, because... why not." -mick

The image showcases the intricate Spanish Baroque decorative tilework above the entrance of the iconic Castro Theatre in San Francisco. Designed by renowned architect Timothy L. Pflueger and built in 1922, this historic movie palace is famous for its striking Churrigueresque/Spanish Baroque facade and interior. The colorful tile murals and plasterwork surrounding the entrance and ticket booth area are prominent examples of this elaborate architectural style. The image shows a close-up of vibrant blue and pale yellow-green mophead hydrangea flowers (Hydrangea macrophylla) with rounded petal clusters. The blue coloration of these blooms typically appears in acidic soils, while the lighter undertones often show where the flowers are newly opening or shaded. Hydrangeas thrive best in moist, well-draining soil with morning sun and afternoon shade

Black and white bow-on image of the barque "Europa", moored at Rowes Wharf in Boston Harbor during a Tall Ships event in 2009. She started life as a lightship built in Hamburg, Germany in 1911, and was later restored/refurbished as an ocean-going vessel in 1994. She's been sailing the globe ever since out of her home port of The Hague, Netherlands. She's seen here with her white sails partially furled, against the dark background of an arch in the building behind her. Numerous onlookers can be seen on the wharf off to the right and behind her.

For #PalacesAndGardens theme #PompAndPatterns. The Maya Queen K’ab’al Xook from Yaxchilán (seated) wears a huipil blouse whose patterns are still used among modern Maya weavers today. #Mexico #Maya #Mesoamerica #Yaxchilan #history #heritage #weaving #handwoven
This image shows Yaxchilan Lintel 24, a Classic Maya limestone relief carving created around 723–726 AD that depicts a royal bloodletting ceremony. King Itzamnaaj Bahlam III (also known as Shield Jaguar II) holds a burning torch, while his primary wife, Queen Lady K’ab’al Xook, kneels before him. Maya Huipil, a traditional hand-woven tunic from the Tzeltal Maya community of Tenejapa, Chiapas, Mexico. The top portion of the garment is heavily adorned with intricate, geometric brocade weaving. It features rows of black diamond shapes enclosing vibrant red fills. Tiny accents of bright yellow, neon blue, and pink are meticulously stitched inside and around the diamonds.

The #PalacesAndGardens theme of #PompAndPatterns
is matching pairs - colours, patterns or occasions. Mine is a textile, the other from the garden and it might be triplets. A painting, a visitor and autumn colour? At Knole House in Kent. Also for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn…

A young woman in patterned autumnal coloured dress discusses the merits of the even darker coloured brown silk scarf worn by a courtier of King Charles II in a portrait hanging against brown wood wainscotted Wall at Knole House, a medieval mansion in Kent. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. Out in the private gardens at Knole, the leaves on one of the tallest Oak trees in England are starting to turn a similar autumnal colour. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

Derrick Adams’ “Navigator 2” from the ViewMaster exhibit at Boston’s ICA (2026) and the fall grounds of Clark Art Museum (2021) For this week's #PalacesAndGardens theme #PompAndPatterns #EastCoastKin #Art #textiles #Fall #BostonICA #ClarkArt #DerrickAdams #ViewMaster #Museum
LEFT TO RIGHT Navigator 2, 2013 Faux brick, paint, glitter, wood, fabric, and metal Courtesy the artist and Gagosian Figure in the Urban Landscape 43, 2019 Acrylic, ink, graphite, grip tape, model cars, fabric, paper, and nylon on wood panel Collection of Carole Server and Oliver Frankel, New York In his Figure in the Urban Landscape series, Adams depicts the everyday scenes of a city. This portrait is made from painted surfaces, collage, fabric, and toy cars, combining elements drawn from modernist abstraction, African sculpture, and the artist's own life. Bodies are flattened, and the city streets are reduced to bold blocks of gridded colors. Miniature model cars seem to drive across the painted roads, drawing attention to the city as both real and imagined. The grid suggests movement, but also control, highlighting how individuals navigate city blocks and neighborhoods. As the figure moves through this scene, environment shifts and adjusts around them. By focusing on everyday movement, Adams opens space to imagine different stories shaped by self-determination. Fall trees colored green, yellow, red, brownish orange. Black trunks and some triangular bent branches on the left side of the frame

Picture shows a custom-made white linen shirt hanging on a wall. It has brown, wooden buttons up the front, on the collar and on the sleeves. A lucky fella indeed who has a talent seamstress to create such a comfortable piece. Picture shows the snow covered path along Hurricane Ridge up on Olympic National Park. In the distance a lone woman can be seen at the end of the path. She is highlighted against a bright blue sky. Snow covered pine trees are off to either side. Mountains can be seen in extreme distance. Yes, that is my better half walking in knee-deep snow without snow shoes.

My favorite blue dress because it matches the blue house in Majorelle Garden, Marrakech, Morocco.

#ECK #Morocco #JardinMajorelle #Marrakech #CobaltBlue #HumansOfBluesky
A woman wearing a sleeveless cobalt blue dress with a colorful resin necklace that features different colored trapezoid shapes. It's large and chunky. The woman has short blond/grey hair and clue eyes. A house (now museum) in Jardin Majorelle (Majorelle Garden) Marrakech, Morocco is painted solid, bright cobalt blue. It has a window covered with an orange-gold Islamic motif, a tall plant in a yellow pot, and a tall vertical door that is mint green and pale mustard yellow. A front porch is made of stones and has a mint green railing around the edge for safety. The garden was owned by Yves St. Laurent, but is now a tourist attraction and museum.

My mother's black feather hat > Ravens at Buda Castle in Budapest. Ravens were a common symbol.

#ECK #Raven #BlackBird #BlackFeather #FeatherHat #Budapest #BudaCastle
Closeup of my mother's old hat made of black feathers, black velvet ribbon and black netting. The feathers sit at the front forehead while the black velvet bow is in the back. There are strips of the ribbon connecting the feathers and bow. Providing support is a black mesh. Buda Castle entrance made of black iron with a decorative motif of a spider web. Rising out from the spider web is a black arched branch (also iron) with a black raven sitting at the top. The entrance has two doors to the gate; the other door mirrors this one. In the background is the one of the buildings in the castle compound that is brown plaster and brown stone with a lot of vertical windows. There is cobblestone paving. Budapest, Hungary.

One more for The #PalacesAndGardens theme of #PompAndPatterns
Another portrait from Knole House, Sevenoaks, Kent, and a flower in the house's brilliant gardens. King George IV in scarlet Prince regent's jacket and Amaranth flowers aka Love-lies-bleeding.
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn…
#ECK
A gull length portrait, hanging at Knole House, of King George IV (1762-1830) as Prince Regent (oil paint), by Thomas Lawrence. The future King poses, leaning on his sword in his right hand, against a grey cloudy sky. In his other hand, he holds a huge black hat with white feathers. He wears unfeasibly tight white pants on top of black riding boots. To top this he has a Scarlet jacket above a golden belt. This, in turn, is adorned with more gold - braid and medals. Above his neck, which is swathed in a high, black scarf, his head with wavy black hair seems particularly small and strangely out of proportion. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro. Cords of Amaranth blooms hang in front of green leaves in the private gardens at Knole. The plant is also known as Love-lies-bleeding because of its scarlet flowers. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.
