I carved this pumpkin a few days ago hoping a bird would check it out. Today, this Tufted Titmouse poked its head in.

I am tempted to decorate the inside for Christmas. 🎄

Goats in the Valley of Fire 🐐❤️💙

It's hard to see them, they really blend in.

A wispy #Sky for the #BlueSkyArtShow ☁️💙☁️

I shared this for an alphabet challenge a long time ago so apologies to those that are seeing it again.

It's one of my favs, taken from a train. 🚆

I want to start by saying I do not like this photo of myself but it is the vibe I wanted so...

I recently learned that my street used to be a private drive. Stables were at the far end and I imagine this field may have been where the stables stood.

#SelfPortraitSunday #LookingBack #selfiesunday
I am trying to look old-timey as a walk in an overgrown field on the edge of the woods.

The desk is a replica, the original is in the White House.

Two Roads Diverged

This path splits and most people take the way which crosses 7 lanes of busy traffic. 🤷‍♀️
I take the path which goes under the road and winds into the woods. 🌳
I've only taken the other path once and that was enough for me.

#SelfPortraitSunday #HiddenInPlainSight
Walking on a paved path under 7 lanes of traffic that is lit by florescent lights. The graffiti on the wall says "skibidi" I stopped while running errands to take this and i just wanted a photo with a shadow and I only ended up with two the pick from. Oh well.

Find joy in each day. 🪄💙☕🌵🪴🌺

It's a dark and dreary day today so I'll attempt to brighten it with my ready to bloom Thanksgiving cactus and my #BlueBrewMugs contribution for Susan.

A weathered and abandoned boat for 🌊⚓🌲

#TidesOutTuesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved
An old wooden boat is on blocks with high grass growing around it. A cove of water is behind the boat and evergreen trees are on the left in the distance. I shared the black and white version of this for one of the blue sky art show weeks.

"The Fall"

The yellow trees are popping! 💛🍁🌳

We had five deer visiting morning. It was a surprise, they haven't been in the yard in a couple of months. 🦌

"Knight Rider"

I thought it was cute that this sporty little car was parked in front of a Lucky Danger restaurant sign. 💙🏎️🎱

Today is my BlueSky anniversary! 🎉
I'm grateful for the good vibes and great people. 🫶🏻
Thanks for making this community such a bright spot. 💙

I end up taking photos of myself where I would have taken photos of my kids...💛🤓😅
