While hiking the Craggy Gardens Trail, I saw a fallen tree shaped like a frozen ocean wave.

While hiking on the Craggy Gardens Pinnacle Trail, I came across this fallen tree which looks like an ocean wave frozen in wood - thus a timbertide. Craggy Gardens in North Carolina near Asheville is a popular spot along the Blue Ridge Parkway featuring a visitors center, hiking trails, scenic views, and a lovely mountain picnic area. Elevation of Craggy Gardens is 5,500 feet and since it is more than 3,500 feet higher in elevation than Asheville, one should be prepared for temperatures 10-20 degrees cooler than the city. In summer it is not unusual to be greeted by low clouds and fog, but if one waits a bit it will clear. The weather can change rapidly. Typically during mid to late June Craggy Gardens is covered in a spectacular floral display of pink and purple rhododendron flowers that blanket the trails and mountainside. However, this season the Catawba Rhododendron bloomed early in May. So by June only a few bushes of rhododendron could be found on the mountainside and none on the Pinnacle Trail. While no flowers were to be seen the trail was still a lovely lush green with lovely unique trees growing along the trail.

🔭 A Full Moon at Perigee

Image Credit & Copyright: Betul Turksoy

star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/a...
What is big, bright, and beautiful, can wear a cape made of clouds, and is at the closest point in its elliptical orbit around planet Earth? A full moon at perigee of course, captured here near moonset in predawn skies on November 5 from Kayseri, Turkiye. Full moons that happen at (or very near) perigee, and so are slightly larger and brighter than full moons on average, have become popularly known as supermoons. In fact, this full moon at perigee is the closest and brightest of the three supermoons of 2025. Rising as the Sun sets, this full moon follows this October's Harvest Moon and is traditionally known to some as the Hunter's Moon.

Finding quiet amidst the cacophony.
I finally found time for arting and fixed an #artjournal
spread that went awry ... in 2013.
There was so much cacophony, I couldn't spell cacophony.
Less cacophony now.
Amended my signature to just Lynda - no more family names claiming me in my #art.
#artyear
Art journal spread in altered book. Mixed media collage, paint, pen, pencil. Stencilled word "cacophony" on the right facing page surrounded by a patchwork of red patterned collage and doodles exploding out with found words. On the left, a female figure in blue sits calmly meditating, with a bird with a red heart on a pile of rocks. More found words "here is your home", "at the heart, inhabit a timeless universe with simplicity".

"What a hunger, what a need we have for beauty and happiness that comes with #beauty!" (Dorothy Day, "On Pilgrimage," Feb 1, 1951)

I am addicted to #color, and to #wordart. Trying #embroidery as an additional way to combine (dovetail, as it were) them. Why sew on white, if one can sew on COLOR?!

A lot of this data, such as the T-Mobile leak, is now encrypted thanks to the researchers' work. But all of it was obtained from a single dish on the roof of a building in San Diego. These findings are based on just 15% of geostationary satellite signals over the US and Mexico.

I made this little one last night start to finish. It's incredibly hard to stop working on them once they are started! It took about 6 hours. Or three movies! 😆
It's my first bear, and there are things I want to improve on, but I think it turned out pretty cute.🥰

These snowboarding boots are destined for Fort McMurray, AB, which is home to 3000 wood bison. I remember driving north of the city when I was a kid with my grandparents to go look at them, it was pretty amazing to see so many grazing together.

Bridalveil Falls in Autumn

Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite Valley is one of the most prominent falls in the park and usually the first major waterfall someone sees while entering the park.

pixels.com/featured/bri...

#BridalveilFallsInAutumn #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt
Bridalveil Falls In Autumn You are standing at the base of Yosemite Valley, surrounded by towering granite cliffs. The air is crisp with the coolness of autumn, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and fallen leaves. Bridalveil Falls pours down from a high cliff, a ribbon of water that drops hundreds of feet. In spring it roars so powerfully that mist drenches anyone nearby, but in this autumn moment the flow is gentler—steady, graceful, and easier to approach. Imagine the sound: a continuous rush of water, like a deep exhale, echoing against the stone walls. The waterfall’s spray lightly dampens the rocks, making them slick in places. The scene feels both powerful and serene: nature’s endurance captured in a single waterfall that refuses to fade, even as the season shifts. It’s a reminder of resilience and beauty, standing tall against time.
