What is beauty?
____ ____

To see what only I can see

To feel what only I can feel

To lift what only I can lift

To see you
To feel you
To lift for you
what you cannot lift yourself

To see
To feel
To love
to fight
To never give up

As only I can do for you

For all who love
No matter who

For lovers
For friends
For people

For the beauty
that lies hidden in everything

♥️ for all of you ♥️

A close-up of a person with short, styled hair, wearing a white shirt, a vest, and a blue suit jacket, offering a slight smile while looking at the camera. The shot is cropped around their upper torso, and the black background frames them in a softly lit setting.
A person with short, styled hair, wearing a white shirt, a vest, and a blue suit jacket, holds a cigarette at their lips while gazing off to the side. A silver ring on one finger is visible as they raise the cigarette box. The black background provides strong contrast.
A head-and-shoulders portrait of a person with short, styled hair, wearing a white shirt, a vest, and a blue suit jacket. They glance upward with fingertips gently touching their lips, and a silver ring catches the light. The black background and subtle lighting draw attention to the subject’s contemplative gaze.
A person with short, styled hair, wearing a white shirt, a vest, and a blue suit jacket, holds a cigarette at their lips, looking directly at the camera. The black background and focused lighting emphasise their intense gaze and facial features. One hand grips the cigarette box, revealing a silver ring on their middle finger.

Good morning tooters - although it’s nearly lunch time 😀. Started the day at 6.30am & it was just 10c, it’s now 24c & will rise to 30c. It seems quite hot out already & there’s a lot of smoke like haze over the hills which could mean there’s some burning off happening.
I’ve been out for breakfast with my old Vinnies colleagues, 7 of us today at a very popular cafe in Albury. It showed who had the sweet tooth & it wasn’t me. Six of us chose poached pears with berries, Greek yoghurt & a sweet dukkah, the 7th - me - chose garlic mushrooms with a poached egg & savoury dukkah 😂. It was delicious & I am so very full.
Went across the road afterwards to a bag shop to check out a suitable backpack for overnight trips, I’m tired of lugging a bag when a backpack would work so much better & I now have exactly what I wanted & at a reasonable price, it will hold all I need.
I hope everyone is having a lovely #Saturday doing things you enjoy.

Pluviophile (n) A lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days.

I've been playing around with digital art and image editing for a while. Here are three promotional slides for one of my favorite hashtag events on social media. It's an hour of music curated each week by various participants, in the form of a YouTube playlist, for us to enjoy, riff on, and in some cases, discover something new.

*I don't normally do promos but my inner pluviophile loves these.
