Happy #Stunday - #ECK, #Photography #River #Hiking. This is a recent pic of a quiet sweet little river dipping hole on a visit on the South Toe River, NC. The day was warm, even up in the foot hills of Mount Mitchell. Nature did not disappoint. Wonderful 🌎☮️

South Toe River: a clear pool of slowly running water shows the brown rocky shallows cascading to deeper water of blue green color. This leads you across the river to the other side, lined with lush dark green vegetation living atop large grey green boulders. Pic is framed on the left and bottom by tall green leaved weeds growing on the foreground of the shore. They are topped with bunches of small yellow orange flowers which attracted yellow jacket wasps. The dip in the water leaves you feeling cooled and relaxed after the experience.

Happy Saturday! Good day while working out in the front and back yard. Today, saw a 4 foot black snake, 2 squirrels, 4 cicadas, probably 20 lizards, 2 white birds, and this in the bush in my front yard- #Earth #photography #ECK #GreenSat #butterflies

A large black and yellow spotted butterfly is searching for food in a group of larger red blooming flowers resting atop of a flat plate of light and dark green leaves.

Good morning- For #ImageAndVerse #CatsofBlueSky #photograhy #BlueSkyArtShow #ECK (Program Note: I would have done this yesterday for Caturday, but it happened this morning =) Have a ☮️ week. Something made me become awake Those eyes I see, but I hear Get me my fancy feast

A very serious looking black, brown, white cat, using her laser focused vision while peering over a light green blanket covering my partner’s legs to summon me to get out of bed to feed her like I do on Monday, but today is Sunday. The cute brown cat and brown background are contrasted by the shimmering light green blanket that is lit by early sun rays.

Happy Sunday=) This momma Cardinal sitting in her nest, in a bush, at my mother’s home on Mother’s Day, spies another momma, me. Able to post this #photohraph for #BirdoftheDay #RedBeak Update: happy ending- one of her two eggs hatched, and eventually both left the backyard.

Female Cardinal in her nest, with a lightly colored brown red body and a bright orange red beak showing through the jumbled mass of spanish oak moss, twigs, and the dark blue and bright green leaves of a bush. It is a very hot day, her beak is opened and she is panting to cool off in the mid day sun, while she spies you with one eye.

Happy Saturday! For #BirdoftheDay #EFGH I was going to work and as I was pulling out of the drive, I spotted a hawk sitting on my backyard fence (red - shouldered hawk?). I wanted the shot without disturbing him, so I leaned out of the window… a little unwieldy, but I got him checking me out too! ☮️

A hawk, with dark brown and cream spotted wings, quietly sits on a weathered wooden fence up against a lower chain link fence that has various green and brown vines climbing upward. The background behind the hawk is a small magnolia tree with bushy leaves, against another old wooden fence lining the backyard. Behind that, an avocado colored wall of a building behind us. The hawks’ eyes are dark and spying on me. Good thing I am not a mouse. 🐭

For #Stunday - waited to take the best view of the sunrise this morning. I have been noticing how it beautifully it shines through my neighbors’ backyard tree line. Occurred at 7:54 a.m.😎

The young bright low rising sun, centered in a small archway made by a row of huge oaks trees, which are in silhouette in the foreground. The archway is made by the trees, separated at the middle by an old chain link fence gate, of which both sides hang oddly off the hinges, bent, and weathered. Sun’s yellow rays filter through to fill the tree archway in circular fashion.

Happy #Caturday! Photo of Tiger, our overlord, I mean …protector, keeping us safe, while hiding in the closet =) I think this also qualifies for #WeekIforInteriors. Per Tiger, the inside is a messy one, making it a better hidy hole- Have a great day! ☮️

Wha chu talking’ bout, Willis? Cats can sway you to make strange decisions. They hold the ability to completely ignore all space, time, and movement, such that they give you powers of invisibility. And, they demand all of your doors open in the house, when you would rather shut them. Cat Power 🐈‍⬛

Happy Sunday =) #FebruArty2026 #float 18”x24” acrylic on canvas board that I painted after a stay in Coronado, near San Diego. Marinas abound, and the boats floated, idle in the tide. They seemed to saying, “please! hop in, unleash me!and let me make my way out of here to the sunny open seas”.

Painting shows a marina off the land of Coronado Peninsula near San Diego. The sandy beach is in the forefront, and many expensive yachts float on calm waters. The background are of the hills of San Diego, dotted with the lights of many large homes. A pink and yellow dusky sky is being encroached by the stormy weather approaching.

For #Spooktober #nightmre and #hARToween25 #shadowspirit resharing my acrylic painting 12”x18” of a hatted shape moving closer to me one night while I slept with another family member- we both saw it. I cannot forget it. I was 13, not scared, but did not understand what it was until years later.

My painting of me sleeping in a darkened room in a bed, but being able to see shadows, feeling something keep moving closer to me to then bend over so close to my face that I felt a presence but not a person. What I felt was seen by a family member awakened from her sleep next to me.. I remember seeing a dark hatted shape standing next to me, until I fell asleep. This later confirmed at breakfast the next day with my sleep mate, who had stayed awake to watch it, paralyzed, for another two hours, until it left.
