Started off New Year’s Day with a walk at a nearby lake and had to snap these photos for the #moss feed. One of my commitments for 2025 is to ground in Mother Earth more. Happy 2025 Skyline!

I decided to shuffle the wallpaper photo on my Lock Screen; once a month, I see a photo I don’t remember snapping. 😯 🧐 Sometimes I am surprised by the interesting places I have visited and the photos I take along the way. Today’s #FBF #BlueSky

During the Christmas season, one of the things I enjoy the most is Black Santas and Mrs. Clauses. 🎅🏾🎄🤶🏾 Spotted these in Lowe’s yesterday, one of the highlights of my week. 😁

How are not talking abt Spike’s fit last night at Game 1?!? He is the reason why MLB let the teams sell merch in non team colors.

Spike Lee stuntin on is in the cherry red NYY fitted hat and bomber jacket at Game 1 of the ALCS. He worked with MLB and Steinbrenner to get this design made first in the 1990s and offered to the public.

The flyest blue sky I have seen all summer, all in the same 15 minute time span during my walk leaving the beach. Summer has yet to end, loving this heat in Sept. 🥵🔥🌅 Is it b/c the beach is less crowded since everyone is back to school?! 😉
