And diff section from a couple weeks ago

A corner of a 'living wall' full of many varieties of plants in assorted shades of green. Lights can be seen hanging from the ceiling above, and there is a smooth section on the right with text about responsible stewardship.

The water in Hood Canal as we drove up 101 Saturday was sparkling in quite a lovely manner.

Waves of water lap up against a shoreline, creating ripples and foam in the rocks there. Between the water and the viewer are many dried grasses and assorted plants, with a strip of roadway pavement at the very bottom of the photo.

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from your device without comment.

A small old cardboard box with yellow sides sits on a wood surface. The top of the box has an image of five fantastically-dressed characters in a castle setting. Yellow font at the top reads "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", while small white text in the bottom left corner says "2006 SPECIALISTS"

If you see this post a flower (with bonus Bumble bee)

Bumble bees gather pollen from the pinky-purple flowers amid the greenery of several "shiny geranium" bushes.

Stopped at a lookout by Deception Pass (WA) Saturday and met this lovely friend, who was having a blast posing for scenic pics with their family

A large "apricot" colored curly-coated dog on a leash sits on a stone pillar in front of a large evergreen tree. In the background you an see bright blue sky, some wispy white clouds, and deep blue water below.

Thread for tons of cool information, then make your plans to be in Fremont next Saturday!

Black text on a white background reads "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY @ OUTSIDER COMICS / Free All Ages Event!" followed by white text in black bubbles advising "FREE COMICS / Special Guests / Massive Sales / and More!" and "$1 Back Issues! Bargin Bins! All comics on Sale!" Below and around the bubbles are small black & white graphics of a dinosaur, a person in superhero pose, a unicorn, a rocket, and a magic wand. More black text at the bottom states "Signings with.... 11:00-2:00 Dana Simpson / 11:30-1:30 Jordan Alsaqa / 1:30-3:30 Colleen Frakes" and "SAT MAY 3RD 11AM TO 6PM / 223 N 36TH ST FREMONT SEATTLE"

#TinyJoy for today is A Thing I Made (scarf actually finished a while ago, was contemplating an optional step so hadn't gotten around to picture)

A foot or so of a crocheted purple scarf has been stretched out from a rolled-up section on top of a pale woodtoned surface so the patterning shows.

Actual snowfall, sticking for now (not expected to last, or accumulate much). I kinda like not getting this until Feb 😊🤞 #NewAdventuresForXap #YayWhidbey

Brown outdoor steps lead down from a deck to a yard edged by woods. Everything is covered with a light coat of white snow.

Looking out over a large deck to the treeline on a grey day; the deck is white and the trees and railings are also have a light coating of snow.

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes sent in so many ways this week 😊 Besides work my day included Mickey and music and mayhem & magic (we finished season 6 of Buffy that night). And brownies 😋

It's a good time to celebrate one of my favorite holidays (if you're able, and so inclined)

Saw our neighbor-deer visiting down the road during today's brief walk.

A pair of black-tail deer watch from a distance in a green yard. Evergreens can be seen behind them, stretching up toward a blue sky with a few light clouds.
