An atmospheric photo with a large blurry pink flower in the foreground. Two white and pink hydrangeas in focus in the middle and some blurry hydrangeas and a blurry wall in the background. The photographer was either drunk or trying for an “arty” shot. Photograph by Robert Emond.

#BirdoftheDay is #least - as in the kind you have the least pics of. I lived in St. Petersburg FL for about a year and this egret (according to Google) was in the front yard. This is the only picture I have of this type of bird.

Attention Alphabetters!
Mon 10 Nov is the start of Week T and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Television. Caption your pic with the name of a TV programme. Pic doesn’t need to relate to the plot- just to the title. A tricky one this week - so get creative! Use the # below and have fun😊

I’m outraged that grown adults can become celebrities for being “outraged” at everyday people just existing.

I took inspiration from this dish yesterday. I used chanterelles as well as cremini mushrooms. I also sub half&half for cream. It was delicious!!

Hope I dine on negative emotions. Gorging on fear, envy, hate. . . Until I am so nauseated I cannot move. Paralyzed with cramps bent over, stagnant. Enough is enough. Purge!!! I vomit forth those emotions. Emptying my belly, lightening my soul. Transforming negative to positive. Now I dine on hope, love, wonder . . . Never more to be nauseated by my own soul. Poem by Robert Emond. Vilshofen shilouetted by an orange sunset. Photo by Robert Emond taken 10/26/25.

“Shadows on the Moon”

I saw the clouds cleared and the moon called to me. So I tossed on some clothes and snapped a few pictures at 5AM this morning.

Petals flutter like
paper dreams in the wind,
turning the garden
into a living watercolor…
