Good morning Blusky friends

Ruby said “Happy Wednesday”

Winter is here and that means we roll in the snow!

Golden Retriever

Ruby the golden retriever having what can only be described as her personal snow-day masterpiece. She’s sprawled out joyfully in a fluffy white field, nose and whiskers completely dusted in snow, wearing an expression that says, “I regret nothing.” The sun glints off her golden fur.

The snow around her is cratered and tossed like a bakery explosion, proof of an epic roll-fest.

She’s a golden retriever snow angel in action—equal parts athlete, comedian, and connoisseur of mischief.

Clouds that are up high
Move into transition
Breathe life into the day

These trees will have to learn
Lost in translation
How to hold on to the day

Days like thunder change
In nature its a behaviour
You are going to feel the flame

Oct 14 is the latest in the year I’ve been able to catch an owl. 🦉🪶

A great horned owl perches in a tree. The setting sun lightly dapples its feathers.

A view of the Ocmulgee River in Georgia, taken from the same spot as yesterday's post. I used the widest angle available on the phone/camera to show the bend in the river. Look closely and you'll see my shadow.
#river #georgia #photography #landscape

Wide angle view of a horseshoe bend in the Ocmulgee River in Macon, Georgia. Water flows from left to right, and is unusually clear due to lack of rain. The shadow of a pavilion is projected into the river. Trees line the river banks. A few cumulus clouds occupy an otherwise clear blue sky.

So far the weather hasn’t been cold enough to freeze the birds’ water. Eventually we’ll have to put the birdbath away for the winter. The birds will use the dog water dish on the patio when needed.

Amid rising tide
Wave swells just before a rock
Dashing crash and splash

#RockinTuesday #WestCoast

Cambria, California, this afternoon

A wave crashes against a large, black rock off the Pacific coast with a dazzling, dramatic display of myriad water drops rising over twice as high as the rock itself. Other rocks, some large, some small, are visible above sea level nearby. The sky is bright azure, with some distant puffy clouds near the horizon

Dusty and dry. Water should be in this ditch, but a drought has brought a fall with little color so far except brown. A view looking East as the sun has already gone down tonight on the Slippery Elm Trail, Wood County, OH. #nature #sunset #drought #trees #rural #woodcounty #ohio

A brown tree with brown some leaves still clinging to thin branches stands aside a dry ditch between 2 fields of brown corn. The sky is a dusty blue that fades to light brown and gray near the horizon just after sunset tonight.

The ancient art of swan folding takes many false starts to master.

'Heard our part-time resident Great Horned Owl couple last night for the first time since last spring. One was above us and one was in the pine trees below us, just having a placid chat. Who huh-who hoo hoo
