On the paddleboat dock for today's #blueskyartshow #underneath
#reflections #lakes
Paddleboats of red and turquoise green are seen underneath the woody ceiling of a paddleboat dock, as are silver and blue poles and a snowy view of hills on the far side of the lake.

Good morning Bluesky from Austin, Texas. Even when I'm in the city, I seem to fund the least urban of environments for #urbangaze.

A long image shows a park with tall old oak trees whose branches arch to form a natural frame for tall silver buildings of the city in the distance.

Closing this evening with a throw back to a winter scene of five houses, well one is actually a hotel, for #Alphabetchallenge #WeekVfor5. Can you find all five? One is just barely there.

In an impressionist winter village scene, five houses are viewed on hillsides descending and ascending through a forest of bare trees. A road curves through the scene.

Audrey Hepburn once said, "I believe in pink." After seeing this hibiscus, I think I do too.

The delicate petals of a rose of sharon hibiscus are pale pink with a bright pink center and veins above dark green leaves.

Good morning Bluesky. An actual batcave for today's #WaterfallWednesday. The cave is home to the endangered gray bat, two other bat species, and an endangered cave fish. Though sequestered from the public, one can still walk by and say hello. Feliz Miercoles!

In the distance a long waterfall near bright green vines and moss is seen flowing beneath a cave under a green and russet bluff.

Good morning Bluesky. The rain continues. Not to complain though. The rain fills up our lakes for the dry spell often beginning in July. In the meantime, we can enjoy this roughleaf dogwood by the water.

The white blooms and green leaves of roughleaf dogwood rise above a shimmering lake. Green hills and an overcast sky form the background.

Closing the day driving by this wall cloud, if that's the proper term. Clouds are very low these days. Rest well Bluesky.

Happy #Blueskymonday everyone. Should I maintain suspension of disbelief or confess that it's pouring down rain outside? Think I'll go with the disbelief for the next few minutes or so.

BK told me in no uncertain terms that she did not approve of the photo I posted for Caturday yesterday. She doesn't like this one very much either, insisting these are not her colors, but at least I arted her up a bit. She likes a nice vignette.
Goodnight Bluesky 💙

A humpback whale's fluke comes out of the water so this majestic animal can dive. This water is blue-grey from glacier silt, a large snow-capped mountain is in the background.
