We always said if it was our country we’d step up to the plate and strangely enough, whether we like it or not, this uncomfortable moment has arrived and we are all holding our breath. Our complacency is what they are counting on. We need a strategy to help pull us TOGETHER!!

I'm out and about today wandering through my city with a friend, so I thought I would pull out one of my earlier pieces, one I had fun writing. I must get back to writing some more humorous pieces.

I took a photograph of mushrooms on a stump and I wish I could be more specific. It’s winter it’s today it’s new it’s now it’s next

Winter descends here
Colors silhouette the trees
As we wait for spring

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Two Great Tit (Parus major) at a secret winter feeding spot. Feeding birds is completely forbidden in the village, which I find a bit strange, but what can you do? Off to the forest.... 💚

I saw a very photogenic Blue-winged Teal duck this year in June. #ArtAdvntCalndar #Ducks #birds
A very content and happy-looking male Blue-Winged Teal duck is resting on a stump submerged in marsh waters. The duck brown spotted with a dark bill and a white stripe on the face between the eye and the bill. His feet and legs are bright orange.

Insect art
Day 23 #ArtAdventCalendar

#ColorADay #BlueTue
#AnimalArtTuesday #Chicago
Along Lake Michigan, a white tree trunk with no branches has insect art attached to it. At the top are two large dragonflies, where the sun shines on them, their wings are gray orange. Below are two orange butterflies and a red ladybug. The white tree trunk has a leafless tree on each side and there are several others beyond it. The grass appears to meet the lake. The sky is blue but mostly covered by wispy white clouds.

The audacity of hope!
In the end, that is
God’s greatest gift to us ...
A belief in things not seen.
A belief that there are
better days ahead.

The Periwinkle photographed here growing at the ruins of a traditional Tamil cottage is a happy-go-lucky small subshrub. The plant's leaves are glossy, dark green, oval-shaped, and arranged oppositely along the stem. It grows in adverse conditions such as rain, heat and dust, and as in this photo, can be quite often seen growing out of the crevices of walls. It is a source of important allopathic medicinal alkaloids, including vincristine and vinblastine used to treat certain types of cancer. In Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine the extracts of its roots and shoots, though poisonous, have been used against diabetes, malaria and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Hope you're having a lovely #Scape Friday✨

A photo from the North Country National Scenic Nature Trail (NCT) in October. A lsun-dappled, eaf-strewn wooden path begins in the forground and extends to the mid-ground, where elevation hides it from view. Green foliage, ferns, yellow leaves, and dirt surround both sides, and autumn trees of light and dark bark make up the upper mid-ground and background. Patches of blue sky can be seen in the distance.
