This morning’s walk was brisk and overcast. Found this cool structure as a landmark in the misty weather. #washingtonstate #driftwood #FeelsLikeFall #blackandwhite #nature

Deadwood tangled together along the shoreline make interesting patterns, full of #chaos. The #blackandwhite filter makes it feel more abstract to me. #phonephotography #photography #blueskyartshow #Summer

The flowers of a tobacco plant—the only one left after the field had been topped. They remind me a bit of trumpet flowers. #phonephotography #photography #summer #flowers #NatureNC #TheSouth

Majestic blue herons often frequent the lakes in central North Carolina. This one posed so nicely. #phonephotography #photography #birds #natureNC #Summer #lakelife

A blue heron wading at the edge of a lake. Green trees set off the blue gray bird, making it stand out from the background.

The prompt #earth made me think of the beautiful and weird fungi that emerge after rains. Found this one breaking through and stretching upwards as I left for my morning walk. Loved the contrast of the brown mushroom cap and the verdant green moss.

A magnolia tree lives on the walking route I take most often. There are always pollinators hovering about. #phonephotography #photography #magnolia #flowers #summer

Summertime, and a front porch view. Too hot to do much else than enjoy a rocking chair. #phonephotography #photography #summer #frontporch #blackandwhite

Like most of the southern United States, we’re under a heat dome. The setting sun is a relief, and promises slightly cooler temperatures. #phonephotography #photography #summer #heat #sunset #nature

The sun going down behind a band of trees. In the foreground is a pasture, an empty swath of road, and two large trees. The sky is hot yellow and orange, softening to a cool blue.

A few days ago, a passing summer storm left low hanging clouds. At sunset, the colors were spectacular. #phonephotography #photography #Summer #sunset #nature #clouds

My favorite morning walks are soon after rain. Our neighbors have beautiful flowers that seem to be my most common models. Photographed in #Macro mode on my phone. #phonephotography #photography #blueskyartshow #summer #flowers

In the southern US, kudzu is commonly seen taking over vacant lots and buildings. But, after a much needed rain storm, it can also be quite pretty. #phonephotography #photography #natureNC #kudzu #raindrops #summer

I loved this pattern of pavers, and the colored glass marbles gave me such joy when I saw this garden display at the North Carolina State Fair. The lone red marble draws attention, of course. October 2025. iPhone 14 Pro Max.#PhonePhotography #Photography #DailyPhoto #Rainbow #Joy.

Patio pavers in a alternating square pattern. In between each paver are colored glass marbles, creating a gradient, rainbow across the path.
