Good morning Bluesky! “I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. That every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.” ― Juansen Dizon, Confessions of a Wallflower #Photography #Sunrise #Booksky
The sun is just above a mountain ridge with red and yellow coloring the horizon. In the foreground, the remnants of a tree trunk and leaves from undergrowth are silhouetted.

It's part of the problem with ebooks. Libraries no longer own books, they rent them for a period of time. I had a library's lease of a book run out while I was reading it. ARGH!

A stunning escape. ✨ When nature simply leaves you speechless. 📍Lake Skadar #Nationalpark #Montenegro #Stunday #Scape #PaintbyWords #Photography #travel #Roadtrip #Vanlife #ECK #BlueSkyMonday
A panoramic view of Lake Skadar in Montenegro under a clear blue sky. The deep blue water of the lake is surrounded by distinctive, cone-shaped green mountains. In the foreground, a hilly landscape is visible with trees and bushes showing subtle autumn colors.

A rustic wooden cabin sits in a forest. The end of the cabin has a large bay window that reflects the forest. The forest has early fall coloring.

Golden larches around Blue Lake near Washington Pass along the North Cascades Highway. The softer light really helped the fall colors stand out, and I liked having the lake reflection complete the scene. What catches your eye first, the larches or the reflection? 🍂🏔️📷
Golden larches surround deep blue-green Blue Lake beneath rugged granite peaks near Washington Pass along the North Cascades Highway. Evergreen trees mix with the bright fall color, while the mountains and trees reflect in the calm water. The scene feels quiet and peaceful.

Good morning Susan! A cup of your kind #BlueBrew will help me along on this day. I will be interviewing for a job today. If I retire at my young age of 63 1/2 years, I will still need to work part time to live comfortably (sniff, tear). I don't have to hurry anything though.

Indian Flat Falls, GSMNP #Photography #WaterfallWednesday #GSMNP #Waterfalls
Water pours over a rock ledge in two streams, hitting fissures on the way to a wide, shallow splash pool about seven feet below.. The rock ledge and surrounding rocks are green with moss and green rhododendron is above and behind the falls.

A difficult but powerful read. “But vindication has no power over guilt. No amount of anger or rage directed at others can subdue it, because guilt is never about them. Guilt is the fear of one’s own wretchedness. It has nothing to do with other people.” Tara Westover, Educated #BookSky

Good Morning! Yesterday I voluntarily joined the ranks of the unemployed and I'm considering retirement. To help with my deliberations, I got up early for a mountain sunrise today. It was a bit chilly so I would love a steaming cup of your #BlueBrew today.
Fog fills the valleys between mountain ridges. Half of the sun's orb peeks over the line an colors the horizon brilliantly.

My adventure today was a beautiful ferry ride on the #Koman Reservoir in #Albania. The steep cliff walls and turquoise water totally remind me of the Norwegian fjords! An unforgettable experience. 🇦🇱✨🥰 #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #Scape #Photography #travel #Roadtrip #Vanlife #ECK #AlbanianAlps
A small blue and white ferry boat cruises along the turquoise waters of the Koman Reservoir in Albania. The ferry travels centrally through a narrow, fjord-like canyon. In the foreground, steep mountain slopes covered in lush green trees and vegetation rise up on both sides. In the background, towering, rugged gray limestone cliffs dominate the skyline under bright daylight, highlighting the dramatic and pristine natural landscape.

Size doesn't matter. Sometimes the small things can stun you. #Photography #StunDay #History #ECK
A small wooden structure approximately eight foot square has an open front with a wall about half way back. A wooden chair rests next to a ledge and a high rectangular window. Leaves dot the grass around it and trees show fall colors behind.

As always, I am grateful for your endeavors keeping the doors open to my favorite Bluesky coffee shop. Discussions about books and coffee are a magical way to ease in on a Sunday morning.

Hello Susan! I am finally reading this one from my huge TBR list after hearing part of an interview with Tara when it came out. The first part is a difficult read. I was unaware of the physical abuse and trauma she endure growing up. A powerful book for #BlueBrewBooks.
The Cover of "Educated" by Tara Westover has simple artwork that depicts a roughly sharpened pencil that suggests mountains with a small silhouette standing on the edge.

Did you know? In the Victorian era, some people believed that an old churchyard might have its own supernatural guardian? It was known as the church grim, and it was commonly imagined as a great spectral black dog that watched over a church and its burial ground. #Victorian #history #Halloween
It shows an image of a foggy church graveyard with a black standing amongst the graves.
