Description
Hi dear friends,
As always lately, again my apologies for my absence here, but I'm so free to place a number of images here. And oh, I'm just exhausted.
Well, here a little update:
We had a kind of emergency weather this week, and we were in the middle of it.
Hail, thunderstorm, abnormally a lot of rain, you couldn't see the street any more.
It was actually sensational, and I searched for my camera, but because Karel experienced it as very dangerous, I didn't take any photos.
The water rinsed over the car, and we didn't know where the road was.
Arrived at home (safely) and saw that the back of the house was full of water. Because of the neighbour's mess our gutter was blocked.
And unfortunately, there appeared to be a ball lightning in the house, now Karel's organ is broken, and some equipment. The neighbour across our road had heard a loud bang.
Oh, and a lot of big hailstones lay over our flowers and plants. The next day they were still there. A lot of bushes and flowers are broken, and still there is a lot of mud.
But we are so glad that we could even come home at all, because a little bit later our road/street was closed.
Haha, every thing isn't normal here *wink*. The slugs are better in surviving than we are, I'm sure they have the time of their lives in our garden.
They build their party, and invite the whole neighbourhood to eat, eat, eat.
Anyway, thank you very much for your look.
p.s. This is an Hibiscus flower standing in the garden in a large flower pot among various other flowers.
I only did a style over it with dream generator.
The photo is from last year, I took care of this Hibiscus during the winter in the attic, and since the spring it is back in the garden, but the hail has destroyed the flowers, as well as the leaves. But I look at him very sweetly every day, and talk to him, so the new flowers will certainly reappear. ;-)

Wow I am so Sorry and sad you had such a horrible series of events.
You will be in shock for a few days as I was when we had our basement flood.
The destruction of so many things is hard to take in and digest all at once.
We had a T storm but not nearly as bad as you, lots of water in a short time but no lighting.
The water was gone the next day because we are so dry--- there are many fires still burning around us, some out of control.
Oh I do hope that Karels organ can be fixed, it is something he has had for many years.
Luckily outside usually takes care of itself after the debris is taken away.
Very happy you made it home safely and nobody was physically hurt.
Your golden flower looks beautiful surrouned by all the pretty puple irises and colored leaves.
Once again you choose the perfect dream style, super well done Mies.
xoxo

What a day!!! My goodness. I am so glad you survived the storm. I hope things soon get repaired and brought back to normal. I love the story of your photo of how you cared for this hibiscus all winter and then the storm devastated it, but now you are giving it love and care and you have the faith that it will recover. I think it can be so in life as well. Often times the "storms" almost destroy us, but with a little love and care we can grow stronger again and show our beautiful blooms.
Sterkte, Jacomina

Oh my dear! What a thing to have to deal with! I’m glad you and Karel are okay.
This image is absolutely perfect. I will add it to my jigsaw!

This is really lovely - it looks like a silky blanket with beautiful embroidery - very beautiful!
Wow - sounds like you had a nasty storm! I feel your pain - it's never good to have a flood in your home - even a small one can have you doing repairs for months. Trust me on that...

beautiful presentation

I read this when you posted it (I see everything you post, usually within a few hours of when you post it). Your storm was like a Midwestern storm: It's huge, violent, and leaves nature turned-upside-down. It's pretty frightening to be in a storm like that. And it's stunning to see what it does to nature, when it's over. I'm glad you and Karel are ok. And your home and beautiful grounds are doing ok, in its aftermath...(In Chicago, trees will be torn out of the ground, after some thunderstorms here.)
Your picture is masterful, once again; when you posted this, I thought it was a painting; but then I read your description, and of course it's a manipulation of a photo. But you got deep textures and very organic forms. Everything in this image is alive and moving and undulating. The center flower is primal...and it emerges out of this pulsing 'mire' like a triumphal messenger. The surrounding plants are pulsing with all kinds of organic forms. This is primal, just as some of your other recent images have been. Primal, from the core...And, once again, it's amazingly complex. Great work, Jacomina. These images seem to come from a very intuitive place inside you...
