Even if it was a little chilly, it was a treat to be out on the Elizabeth River last night for the SailNauticus lighted boat parade as part of WinterFest.
Small sailboats at night strung with lights, next to the USS Wisconsin at Nauticus in downtown Norfolk. The view from the lighted sailboat parade, looking toward the Wisconsin and Nauticus. The schooner Virginia sits at the right, with lights at the top of the masts. Selfie from SailNauticus lighted boat parade, next to the USS Wisconsin at Nauticus in downtown Norfolk

I wonder how many bad spellers drive by here and think there are strippers at this place.

I came home with an empty container
The treat carrier, with the tray set atop the lid on a table, and nothing but cinnamon residue left on the parchment-lined tray.

Kate, your image made me think of this low-grade photo I took this morning of a sparrow from our breakfast table. The dog-ear fence panels look like a string of little pennants.

Lake Whitehurst sunset lock screen
Sometimes I take pictures of my screens to use as visual aids for my clients. I love this view of sunset on Lake Whitehurst on the road out of Norfolk Botanical Garden.

This week in seasonal pet barfing
Text conversation this time of year he starts to get really tickled secondhand by one of my stories which is— when i worked at i was in the truck with a coworker around the holidays and we were talking about christmas music and i got hysterically laughing about that elvis song where it sounds like he's a dog about to throw up anyways my coworker tells me his FAVORITE christmas song is "Dominic the Donkey". i was like i literally have never heard of that before. he is INSISTING it is a well known, widely beloved christmas song, and his whole family knows it, and i'm missing out LOU * MONTE DOMINICK THE DONKEY Lou Monte - Dominick The Donkey (HQ Audio) youtu.be text conversation continues anyways this song really tickles the italian christmas donkey. because that's a thing. sure, why not i'm not sure if he's tickled more by the song or by the specific idea that you'd believe EVERYONE knew this famous christmas song i mean. it's got almost 63 million streams on spotify and that video has 9 million views so clearly SOME people know about it i never heard of it. I'm trying to figure out what elvis song you're talking about wuh huh how huh blueeeeeeeee christmas it makes me really laugh lol

I have occasionally made some greeting cards, and I’m thinking about setting up shop with a series like this, based on pictures I’ve been taking of my flowers over the years.
