One more #RockinTuesday post. I found the rock in the second image below on a Lake Superior beach. I have omars, like the ones in the first picture, but the hole in the second rock is deeper and looks like it was made by hand, maybe for a tool? I could be way off on this. Any opinions? Other ideas?

Okay, today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BrownIsBeautiful. Here is a Pelican that is mostly brown, so I hope he counts. Is he beautiful? Like the guy said, it's all in the eye of the pelican beholder.

What's better than a big, gnarly, multi-colored rock for #RockinTuesday? That same rock with a big, gnarly tree in front of it. Have a gnarly day and try to stay warm.

Why do writers get their best ideas when not writing, and then can’t remember them later? My best ideas come when I’m in the bathroom. Feel free to make fun. I can’t decide if I should put a writing desk in there or replace my desk chair with a toilet. When I decide, I promise not to post about it.🤪

#BlueSkyMonday Good morning, I hope. A blue sky and one plant surviving against all odds.

For #Stunday I will post this to have something to think about when I am out freezing my keister off shoveling snow. The way it's coming down, I may have to shovel twice to avoid heavy lifting. Have a good Sunday and pray for protesters who are doing the heavy lifting to save our way of life.

One more for #BlueSkyArtShow #cold. A Cardinal, enjoying the cold and taking a bench break.

#BlueSkyArtShow is #cold. How appropriate. My camera is not supposed to be used in under -5degF, but I may try it today anyway. Here are a few cold-weather images.

#BirdoftheDay #walking Here is a guy, taking one careful step at a time because he would rather not do any log rolling.

So, today is National Pie Day, and it's the good kind of pie! Forget math for now, I like this one.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #TailsUp? Okay. This guy is "tails up" and everything else all over the place.

Time to turn if off for another day. Hoping for judgement for all those trying to ruin things for their own benefit and egos. I will keep my fingers crossed for safety for all of you in the path of that ice storm. Good night.

Is #BirdOfTheDay still #singing? If not, it will not be the first time I have screwed up. Here are a couple Barn Swallows either singing or yodeling.

Random image for #WhateverWednesday. The look. "Guess what, Ace, we got you a new puppy to play with!"

Time to call it quits for the day. For #TextureTuesday, if that is still active, a duck on water made electric by the sun setting. Hoping for the return of sanity, common sense, judgement for those who deserve it, relief for those who suffer, and other things we are sorely lacking these days.

How do I always almost forget #RockinTuesday? Here is something different. We had the grand-kids over the other day and they left this rocking chair display. A different kind of rockin', but a lot of fun.

A picture for #BlueSkyMonday with three of my favorite things: blue sky, a Great Lake, and birch trees. I'm going out now for my therapy walk. It's sub-20 degrees and dropping, the wind is howling, and it's snowing. In case you're wondering, I don't know why I'm going out either. Have a great week.🤪

Okay, one more post for #Stunday. No, I don't know why either. Just trying to take my mind off all of the crap going on. A sequence of images of a Great Blue Heron taking off. Have a great week. It's going to be a COLD one here. Maybe some opportunities to talk pictures of ice, the natural kind!
