Good morning Bluesky!
Out enjoying the sun after a midwinter thaw. Wishing everyone a good weekend and a great week.

Moses the large brown dog staring at the hillside opposite us across the cascading waters of a mountain stream on a sunlit midwinter day in the woods

Lichen encrusted boulders and rocks cluster together on a sunlit midwinter hillside small patches of snow on the leaf carpeted forest floor

Sun shining through tree canopy on hillside overlooking a snow lined mountain stream below

Streamlet splashes down steep sunlit hillside gully, sparse tangles of grasses peering through the brown and orange carpet of shed leaves and needles on a forest floor after an unusual mid January thaw

Evening in the woods. The snow tempers the dark in the winter and I've always enjoyed walking the snowy fields.

Good morning! 🌄
Beautiful day to be outside.

Sun peering through dense treeline along creek banks in mountain forest

Waterfall pours into basin then runs along the high cliff walls silhouetted with shadow tree line from rising morning sun

Welcome bright sunlit skies after many days of dismal clouds completely obscuring any recent cool celestial events...have a good evening.

Looking up stone canal alongside city streets under clear bright blue skies.

Susquehanna River under clear blue skies, it's banks lined with bare autumn leaf shed trees

Good Sunday morning. It's now 9:30 AM and 46° outside, with a clear pale blue sky.

Today, my daily post features photographs from my files of four very tiny gilled mushrooms.

Got to leave a bit early so made to the river before dark! Have a good long evening. It's what we've got and we have to make the best of it.

Getting some beds prepared and shopping for poppy seeds. I’m going to plant them in a couple weeks along with my native butterfly garden. I was looking through some photos of the varieties I grew last year and felt like posting this one. I hope all is well with you. ✌️💚☕️ #bloomscolling #gardening
