Random Photos From The Past

Yesterday I was walking past a place with wonderful rose beds and saw the roses have already started to bloom. We had a very cold March and April, not the usual one, but colder, so everything related to gardening has been delayed with a month or so.

Random Photos From The Past.jpg

Saturday we had hailing, which is quite rare here, it happens a couple of times a year luckily. I personally wasn't affected and thank God the place where my dad lives was spared this time. Hailing is never good but in April and May can be devastating. Those tiny seedlings can't support a beating hailing is usually applying to them. Down south entire vineyards and hectares of gardens were covered by ice. Those poor people who are living off their garden or vineyard are left with nothing. Anyway, let's get back to what I want to post today.

20251113_111734(0)a.JPG

While I was watching those roses the other day, remembered that I photographed some roses last year, late in November, which is really late here for flowers, but these were still beautiful.

20251113_111747a.jpg

20251113_111711a.JPG

However, when I look at these roses, I don't see the flower how others see them. The first thing I see is the texture of the petals. When I took these photos, it was quite chilly and you can see the water drops on the petals too. But besides that, look at how those petals look like. Like crepe paper you use for creative projects.

20251113_111640a.JPG

This is a good example. We have an almost fully opened rose and a bud. What do you see here? The rose or the bud? I see the bud as it's more interesting for me. Look at the bud's petals.

20251113_111646a.JPG

Same two subjects, from a different angle and here things change, not just the angle. From this angle, the flower's petals look more interesting and the fact that the outer petals were already affected by time, makes it more valuable for me.

20251113_111702a.JPG

20251113_111358a.jpg

I bet this is something you never photograph. This used to be a rose. Now it's just the dry leftover.

20251113_111449a.JPG

Yes, there were yellow roses as well.

20251113_111527a.JPG

20251113_111603a.JPG

20251113_111608a.jpg

Here I guess you could say these yellow roses, or buds to be precise, aged well, but I understand if you only see the flower you have to throw away. Not everyone can see this.

20260326_104519a.JPG

This is the Japanese quince bud. I took a bunch of photos in March as I love the buds and never posted them. Should congratulate myself honestly, but my focus has been elsewhere.

20260326_104558a.jpg

20260326_104741a.JPG

20260326_104935a.JPG

Last, but not least, the wild apple blossom.

20260326_104938a.JPG

Needless to say these flowers are already long gone, so it was about time to post them and I guess this is my annual flower post and you don't see me posting many.

Thank you very much Jesus!

I'm surprised to get these wonderful comments 🙂 I love flowers, but unfortunately with so many editing options they are the most kitschy things on the internet. It makes me sick literally, to see what some people are capable of doing with them.

That's exactly why I loved seeing these! They look majestically natural! Looking at them was almost like physically finding beautiful roses and being able to observe them up close! Excellent photos! Thanks again!

Yes, yes, I have some in my mother's backyard... Look... I just took these pictures with my phone... We have red and white ones, but they're not blooming right now!... My father (who passed away 7 years ago) loved roses!

Here in Montalbán, the climate is good for roses, although my father said they grew and flowered better in the higher areas of our Andean mountain range (about 350 km further south)... But here they grow quite well anyway...

These are lovely 😍

I bought a pot of roses for myself in March, as I've never had roses in a pot. Shame on me as I almost killed them, it was a bit too cold outside back then, but they are so beautiful now. I'm waiting for them to bloom, then I'll make a post 😃

@erikah friend, a "fresh" anecdote: My mother (80 years old) just peeked into my studio door and said to me: "Now that I've seen you taking pictures of the roses, remember that they need to be fertilized!" 😂😂😂... I've earned that task today! 😂😂😂

PD: At home, fertilizing with worm castings, either solid or liquid, seems to be quite good for roses and there is no risk of overdosing and damaging them.

@jacobtothe The ledger doesn't lie, and neither do we. We've already exposed the interconnected web of your friends—the numbered wallets, the synchronized voting, the farming rings disguised as curation. Yet, instead of reflection, you offer only more silence and more downvotes.

Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.

We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation


Prologue: The Right to Rise

There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.

On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.

We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.

It is time to leave the shadow.

It is time to build where you are free.


I. The Betrayal of the Guardian

The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.

Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.

When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.

To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.

This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.


II. The Call to New Grounds

Where, then, shall the builder go?

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.

Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.

Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.

Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.


III. The Architecture of Freedom

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.

  • No Shadow Bans: Your content reaches the eyes it was meant for.
  • No Whale Veto: No single entity, no matter how wealthy, can unilaterally erase your contribution.
  • True Meritocracy: Rewards flow from engagement and love, not from the whims of a cartel.

This is not a dream. It is a choice.

Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.

Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.


Epilogue: The Unchained Creator

The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.

Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.

The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

Hail is very bad for farming, can make you throw all your yearly harvest...

Roses are very fascinating flowers, probably the most ones, although I gotta say I love tulips too

Fruit trees are lovely too

It is very bad indeed and the funny thing is, a few years ago the government placed some anti hailing systems, that worked perfectly, but the stupid lot of humanity protested against it, they said it dispersed clouds and there was no rain. Now those systems are sunset and they are complaining of getting rekt by hair.

I love tulips 🌷 too, it's an ancient Hungarian folk art symbol too.

Where, then, shall the builder go?

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.

Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.

Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.

Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.


III. The Architecture of Freedom

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.

  • No Shadow Bans: Your content reaches the eyes it was meant for.
  • No Whale Veto: No single entity, no matter how wealthy, can unilaterally erase your contribution.
  • True Meritocracy: Rewards flow from engagement and love, not from the whims of a cartel.

This is not a dream. It is a choice.

Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.

Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.


Epilogue: The Unchained Creator

The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.

Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.

The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.

@jacobtothe The ledger doesn't lie, and neither do we. We've already exposed the interconnected web of your friends—the numbered wallets, the synchronized voting, the farming rings disguised as curation. Yet, instead of reflection, you offer only more silence and more downvotes.

Why does a "community" need so many ghost accounts to survive? Why do you refuse to admit that it is your friends and your own abusive behavior—not truth-telling—that drives people away? You can not hide the pattern, it only highlights the desperation.

We have to ask: Are you okay? Do you need some help with your mental health? Because no one in their right mind would choose to spend their life defending a house of cards built on lies, bullying, and botnets. There is still time to step back from the edge. Choose clarity over compulsion. Choose truth over the tribe.

The Sanctuary of the Builder: A Manifesto for Free Creation


Prologue: The Right to Rise

There is a sacred covenant between the creator and the soil upon which they build. It is the promise that if you plant a seed with honest hands, the earth will not conspire to crush it before it breaks the surface. It is the assurance that the gardener exists to nurture the growth, not to trample the sprout because it does not yet resemble the tree.

On the blockchain, this covenant has been broken.

We have witnessed a tragedy where the very tools meant to protect the integrity of the network—the downvote, the curation trail—have been weaponized by leviathans of power. These "whales," entrusted with the stewardship of the ecosystem, have become its jailers. They do not prune the weeds; they scorch the earth. They do not guide the new voice; they silence it with the crushing weight of their accumulated capital.

It is time to leave the shadow.

It is time to build where you are free.


I. The Betrayal of the Guardian

The downvote was conceived as a shield—a delicate instrument to deflect spam, to repel malice, to preserve the sanctity of the commons. It was never intended to be a hammer.

Yet, look at what has come to pass. The whales, those who hold the greatest sway, have turned the shield into a weapon of mass suppression. They do not downvote to protect; they downvote to dominate. They do not drive away the bad actors; they drive away the people. They create an atmosphere of fear where the creator hesitates to speak, fearing that a single misstep, a single unpopular truth, will summon the wrath of the oligarchy.

When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.

To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.

This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.


II. The Call to New Grounds

Where, then, shall the builder go?

I love all flowers, and that pink rose is absolutely beautiful. I really enjoy appreciating the texture, the colour gradients and that subtle dew; they’re perfect, just like nature itself. I also prefer buds to fully open roses, but I hadn’t thought about those outer petals that age more quickly due to exposure to the air and the weather. It makes me think about how those petals protect the inner ones until they’re ready to open up to life.

I’ve loved all the photos, and those cherry blossom buds, how lovely!!💗

That's how it works. The outer petals are the sacrifice ones.

And yes, spring can be lovely.

When the guardian becomes the predator, the flock must flee.

To build in such a place is to build on a fault line. It is to invest your soul in a garden where the owner holds the shears not to shape the hedge, but to decapitate the flowers that grow too tall or bloom in the wrong color.

This is not protection. This is tyranny disguised as curation.


II. The Call to New Grounds

Where, then, shall the builder go?

You must seek the lands where the soil is rich with freedom, not poisoned by fear. You must migrate to the platforms where the mechanism of suppression has been removed, where the only metric of success is the genuine appreciation of your peers.

Go to Blurt.
Here, the downvote button does not exist. There is no tool to crush your voice. There is only the upvote, the comment, the share. Here, value is created by addition, not subtraction. The whale cannot sink your ship, for there are no torpedoes in these waters. You are free to build, free to fail, and free to succeed on the merit of your work alone.

Return to Steemit.
In this older ground, the downvote remains, but it has not been twisted into a tool of systematic oppression. The culture there remembers the original intent: correction, not destruction. It is a place where the community self-regulates through dialogue, not through the brute force of coordinated downvoting cascades.

Build where the wind lifts you, not where the gale seeks to tear you down.


III. The Architecture of Freedom

Imagine a platform designed not for the convenience of the powerful, but for the dignity of the creator.

  • No Shadow Bans: Your content reaches the eyes it was meant for.
  • No Whale Veto: No single entity, no matter how wealthy, can unilaterally erase your contribution.
  • True Meritocracy: Rewards flow from engagement and love, not from the whims of a cartel.

This is not a dream. It is a choice.

Every time you choose to build on a platform that respects your agency, you cast a vote for the future of the internet. Every time you refuse to tolerate the abuse of power, you strengthen the foundation of a free society.

Do not let the whales convince you that their oppression is necessary. Do not let them tell you that their downvotes are for your own good. The gardener who kills the seedling does not love the garden; he loves only his own control over it.


Epilogue: The Unchained Creator

The blockchain was born from a desire for freedom. It was forged in the fire of resistance against centralized control. Let us not forget that origin.

If the current chains of Hive have become heavy with the weight of abusive downvotes, then break them. Forge new links. Build new shores.

Build where you are free.
Build where you will not be downvoted into silence.
Build where the whales are reminded that they are part of the ocean, not the masters of the tide.

The future belongs to those who dare to create without fear. Go forth, and build your cathedral in the sunlight.
