“The half-circle of blinding turquoise ocean is the love’s primal scene. That this blue exists makes my life a remarkable one, just to have seen it. To have seen such beautiful things. To find oneself placed in their midst. Choiceless.” – Maggie Nelson









Wonderful examples for the challenge. Love the toad.
Thanks, Teresa – tree frog, actually, but close enough!
Yup, close enough 🤣
it’s a beautiful gallery, Priscilla. I can’t pick just one, but I’ll say that looking up at those trees brought me a cool breeze to my mind. Great gallery!
Thanks, Egidio!
Beautiful gallery, Priscilla! I am glad I chose this theme, there are so many submissions that evoke the cool, calm side of the spectrum.
Thanks, John, for the cool challenge!
Beautiful response Priscilla. I love that little tree frog trying hard to blend in!
Thanks, Tina – I think he’s doing a brilliant job of it!
Exquisite photos, Priscilla. My son loved the tree frog, I had to show him 😀
That little guy is native to Wisconsin – he looks so tropical for a Midwestern American!
