For the Flower Hour, share your images of flowers, gardens, fields of flowers, seasonal leaves and plants, fungus, algae, cacti, trees and tree blossoms, berries, and wildflowers. Bouquets and silk/faux flowers are welcome.
As we enjoy Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring in the Southern, seasonal blooms and leaves on trees are welcomed and encouraged!
Feel free to share ANY flower, plant or tree, no theme or requirements other than it’s your own!
Your original images reimagined with AI tools in post-editing are also welcome. And you have all week to link to this post.
With Halloween approaching, I’m sharing some monochromes, our misty lake, and a shot of my home decor for the season.
“Stay in autumn’s wild-worn home where fog-laced leaves chime inner peace.” – Angie Weiland-Crosby
Not all hauntings are frightening. Some arrive quietly in the morning mist…
… linger in the shadows of fading flowers,
… or glow in autumn’s final burst of color.
Nature has a haunting beauty all its own, especially when we look beyond the obvious.
I wouldn’t say I was haunted by my years teaching at the university, but I am saddened that the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department was axed in 2025.
“So this is autumn, a windblown world with misty music, and leaves that twirl.” – Angie Weiland-Crosby
