A painful time realizing our country is now controlled by greed, power, racism & misogyny with our citizens in support. To counter that, I am doubling down on fighting #foodinsecurity by volunteering, donating and community gardening. Please join in the fight in your own way #hunger #foodbanks

Gentle morning light filters through a tapestry of clouds, painting the sky in layers of blush pink and violet, while warmer orange tones softly ignite the horizon. The shadowy outlines of trees stand quiet and contemplative beneath the ethereal glow, their forms illuminated by the first rays of day. Every detail, from the whisper of golden light on the highest leaves to the tranquil sweep of pastel clouds above, captures the tender embrace of a new beginning—soothing and full of promise as the day quietly awakens.

A mother and daughter wear witches hats and are on little brooms in front of the balloon that is being inflated. The top of the balloon has a crescent moon and a witch & cat on a broom.

Looking up at the balloon in the blue sky.

Something fun for today’s #Spooktober. A #witch flying across a full moon during an eclipse 🧙‍♀️. Photograph of the eclipse was taken a few years ago, witch not included of course 😉.

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is worth a visit anytime of year. The director, Patrick Newman, was previously executive director of Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. That Wildflower Center is my favorite in Texas 💙

A single rose in soft pink shades glows in gentle sunlight, its delicate petals unfolding with a quiet radiance. Dewdrops glisten on the rose and surrounding green leaves, adding sparkle and freshness to the scene. The background, softly blurred, features lush foliage, providing a serene contrast that highlights the flower’s fragile beauty. It is autumn, and subtle marks and fading edges suggest the rose is nearing the end of its bloom.

Good morning friends! Happy #WaterWednesday! They said it would be mostly cloudy but they were wrong. Here’s today’s #SunriseMagic on the #CTShoreline with some #clouds and drama. #landscape #photography #reflections Have a wonderful day 😊

First light of the day with some clouds, stars and planets. Lights from streets and homes dot the landscape. The water is calm reflecting the sky and landscape.

As the sun rises a band of clouds over the trees in the distance are beginning to get painted in orange and red colors. There is a strip of blue sky with more clouds moving in. Some lights from houses and streets dot the landscape. The water is calm reflecting the sky and landscape.

Brilliant orange and red colors are painted by the rising sun. The water is calm reflecting the landscape and sky.

Just before the sun pops over the trees the clouds are becoming less dramatic and the sun continues to paint the sky. The water is calm reflecting the sky and landscape.

A lonely mushroom basket in the morning sun, stretching its way out of its mossy mattress. Gorgeous green glows, garnering gratitude and grace. The forest floor is vibrant with lush life, radiating wirh the universes' magic.
