Mr. Mourning Dove for today. I do love his subtle blues and golds. 🪶 #birds #birdpics #photography #macro #mourning #dove #mourningdove

A male mourning dove close up photo. He is a tawny brown with a dusting of light blue feathers along the top of his head and neck. He has a little flurry of iridescent gold running along the side of his neck. His big “puppy dog” eye is ringed in light blue. He has a grey beak. He stands against a blurry background that has similar coloration to his feathers (earthy browns and soft blues).

I have an image in my head when I think of the many variations of grief... and it always arises when I seek to comfort a friend who is suffering. It's...a black forest. #grief #griefcounseling #mourning #howtohelp #death #loss #writing #metaphor (Continued In The Comments...) (1 / )

a poem based on real events 😞 I think of the trees (and all the creature in them) as my friends, and I’m devastated I can’t protect them all. Here’s my first tribute to those lost this week 🌳💚 #poem #deforestation #trees #environment #sad #forest #woods #mourning #poetry #nature #NatureLover

This is a screenshot of the notes app. We see a poem which is as below:

My neighbors cut down the trees.

They didn’t think about
the bees who drink
from the flowers growing
from the seeds
dropped by birds flying
to their chicks ((nesting, at ease))
while squirrels chitter, in leaves
and bugs crawl up
the moss grown around
the
base
of
the
t

Good morning, fiends. 🌺🌸🪷 10 May 2025 Thank you all for the overwhelming support yesterday. I read every post, and they truly meant a lot. The truth is, I had been mourning all week—I knew what was coming, ... 1/4 #morning #mourning #flowers #grief

Purple & Pink Petunia Duo

"This image showcases two garden petunias (Petunia), one in deep purple and the other in bright pink, both with delicate veins radiating from the center. The flowers stand out beautifully against the lush green leaves and stems, embodying the vibrant charm of petunias. Their rich colors and intricate petal patterns make them a striking focal point in any garden." - Copilot

“The Land of the Free” by William Gilbert Gaul (American) - Oil on canvas / c. 1900 - Blanton Museum of Art (Austin, Texas) #womeninart #art #oilpainting #sioux #womensart #BlantonMuseumofArt #artwork #WilliamGilbertGaul #Gaul #AmericanArt #AmericanArtist #NativeAmerican #mourning #GilbertGaul

The Sioux woman in American artist William Gilbert Gaul’s “The Land of the Free” stands firmly and solitarily. Her gaze out across the wide Western landscape is reverent, contemplative. She possesses the wisdom that only years of experiences can cultivate, and she draws upon it face the world.

While depictions of Native American men standing alone in majestic landscapes are common in American paintings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, solitary renderings of women in such environments are rare. This Sioux woman is wrapped in a Navajo blanket and perched atop a craggy valley rendered in thick oil impasto.

The Sioux often chose high places like mountain peaks, as depicted here, to bury their dead, and women mourned alone. The work’s title borrows from the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” used by the U.S. military during this time — well before it became the national anthem in 1931. William Gilbert Gaul, familiar with tribal funerary traditions from his experiences with the Sioux, may have set this twilight scene at its “last gleaming” to evoke the destruction done by U.S. forces against Native American communities at the turn of the century.

William Gilbert Gaul, sometimes called Gilbert Gaul, was a late 19th and early 20th century American painter and illustrator of military subjects ranging from the American Civil War to World War I, as well as American Western vistas and scenes like this one.

In 1882, Gaul was elected to the National Academy of Design when he was 27 years old. Later, he was awarded the medal of the American Art Association, the medal of the Paris Exposition in 1889, two bronze medals of the Chicago Exposition in 1893, the medal of the Buffalo Exposition in 1901, and a gold medal at the Appalachian Exhibition of 1910 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

In certain parts of Shropshire, excessive mourning was believed to inflict distress upon the spirit of the recently deceased. In the most extreme circumstances, it could potentially hinder the spirit's transition, causing the area to gain a ghost. 🕯 #Shropshire #Folklore #Ghosts #Mourning
