So many people are posting great street art and murals that I have to jump in. Saw this in Dayton, and I still don't know how this guy can stand there without getting the "creeps"!

Calling it a day. A late entry for #WaterWednesday. Lake with all kinds of watery blues and a Merganser(?) mixing things up. Good night!

Posting early for #WeirdWednesday So, this? Wallpaper at grandma's house? No, frost on my car making interesting patterns the other day. It could be worse. Tomorrow there's a chance here that I may be shoveling slush up to my ankles. At least I didn't have to shovel the frost. Stay warm out there.

Okay, one more. #BirdOfTheDay #SideViews A big guy, taking a look around.

Hmmm. Sudden locked out of the other place. I knew they would catch up with me someday. Anyone else having trouble? Maybe it's a good thing. I will try to scale the wall tomorrow.

Found this picture that fits for #BlueSkyMonday and #TwosDay Two Turkey Vultures, posed against a blue sky, waiting to see if I survive my walk again or become roadkill. Have a great week.

#BirdoftheDay #BirdsOnTwigs When does a twig become a branch, and vice versa? As usual, I will let others decide. Here is a Bluebird on his twig, and he found a twig with berries. Bonus!

Sunday should be #Stunday, but I'll post these for "non" #Stundy, as in "not stunning." Could never quite get my camera settings right to capture the bright moon the other night and came up with these. If, for any reason, you come back to look at them again, you may want to wear sunglasses.😆

Early post for #Stunday. My shots of the recent "big" moon were so hideous that I cannot bring myself to post them anywhere. Here is an older, moody image of the moon that came out a little better. Have a great week.

#BlueSkyArtShow #sky Mine, a sky with a little of everything, and a small buoy in the water. Have a great rest of your weekend.

#BirdOfTheDay is #movement? Sure, why not? One of my "happy accident" images. I was trying to take a picture of a Bluebird on a branch and instead got a picture of him doing a nosedive!

#HumansOfBlueSky Thought about asking this guy if it was okay to take his picture before I did, but worried that distracting him might end up with him getting conked on the noggin. That's how old I am, I use words like conk and noggin.😄

#WhateverWednesday So, we have another "special" moon coming tomorrow night. How often do I actually get a good picture of one of these? Seldom. How many moon pictures do I already have? Far too many. Will I be out trying to take moon pictures tomorrow night? You bet your "moon" I will!😆 Good night!

#WindowWednesday. When I see these, I always think about the guys who made them. Construction as art. FWIW

Another one of my famous (infamous?) picture series—animals trying to escape getting their pictures taken. Why am I posting it? I don't know either.🤪

#BirdOfTheDay theme is birds #LookingAtYou? Here is a little bird looking at me, but it is not what I would call a friendly look . . .

I love #TextureTueday, so why do I always forget it?
Wait, I know, because I always forget everything?😁
Water texture with leaf interrupting. Now what were we talking about . . . ?

Just heard that #BirdOfTheDay is #reflections. I cannot resist a good reflection picture. Here is mine, now I will go and look at all the good ones!😄

Just found this picture and thought it would be another good one for #BlueSkyMonday. An impossibly blue sky with a Cardinal providing a smidge of red. Smidge? Today I've also seen the words “Writery,” “Squidgy,” and “Assholery” on social media. Is this a weirdly great place or what?!😄
