"We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering, we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is we only become more fearful, more hardened and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This separateness becomes like a prison for us - a prison that restricts us to our personal hopes and fears, and to caring only for the people nearest to us. Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet, when we don't close off, when we let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all beings." ~ Pema Chodron

Three pink Zinnias is a watercolour painting in a modern square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. On a white background float three beautiful zinnia flowers in bright pink and rose, surrounded by fresh green leaves. I have kept this watercolour loose and fresh like a summer garden, with a vivid colour contrast between the pink flowers and the background of green leaves and the diagonal composition within the square format.

While I love the #BloomScrolling and #CatsOfFediverse / #CatsOfMastodon tags, they are too high-traffic for my linking. I set up a gaggle of robots at https://digest.xvello.net that each boost one post at random every hour. This allows me to get a taste of these tags without overwhelming my timeline.

For #BloomScrolling: @BloomScrolling1, @BloomScrolling2, @BloomScrolling3 and @BloomScrolling4 each boost one post every hour, 15 minutes appart. You can follow one or several, to adjust how much flaura you want to see.
For #CatsOfFediverse and sibling tags: @CatsOfFediverse1, @CatsOfFediverse2, @CatsOfFediverse3 and @CatsOfFediverse4 run a similar schedule.

The posts are sourced from #FediBuzz, filtered by a simple daemon that ensures that alt-text is present and filters out sensitive contents. The bots are hosted on a #snac instance.

I'd love your feedback on it, and suggestion of tags to add next.

"A just society is not one built on fear or repression or vengeance or exclusion, but one built on love. Love for our families. Love for our neighbors. Love for the least among us. Love for those who look different or worship differently. Love for those we don't even know." ~ John Legend

My stinky starfish flower opened! This is the most disgusting flower I've ever grown. There are flies crawling all over it and it's also covered in hair like it's made out of animal flesh.

Nature abhors a vacuum. But sometimes She fills it with flowers. Honesty, I could not have done this on purpose if I tried.

#BloomScrolling

A small gap between where three large slabs of limestone come together, forming a patio has become a pocket garden. The arrangement contains red mini snap dragons, calamint, and moss roses in pink, white, and yellow. A red paperclip style lawn chair towers above the flowers.

Black and white macro photograph of a delicate dead wild carrot flower, with some flower structure still visible but containing in its centre a ball of all its seeds, as if held in a small cage formed by the outer peduncles which have curved inward.

Black and white macro photograph of yarrow flowers, still open in October, composed of very small flowers in the centre and single-petaled flowers around the edges. None of the flowers are really in focus and some are blurred behind, with stems and foliage, giving a sense of movement.

Flowers against the November blues...
