Not missing two days in a row, no ma'am! Here is today's #SkyPortrait --the gradient of fading day.

... might also double as a trees-portrait, but ehh?

Rio Juruá, a calligraphy through the forest. As the OP, geopanoramas on Instagram says,

"Nem todo rio corre; algumas águas caminham lentamente até o destino ... desacelerar é um convite a perceber o mundo com mais cuidado" [translation in alt text]

Missed posting a #SkyPortrait yesterday (classic 3日坊主 "mikka bōzu"--three-day monk... you do a thing for three days and then give up), but now I'm practicing getting back on the horse. Here is today's November skyscape.

Today's #SkyPortrait shows some blue as well as white. In the air, a few snow flurries.

I want to do daily sky portraits, but I'm not sure whether I'll have the stick-to-it-iveness. Time will tell.

Here is a very typical November sky for my area. #SkyPortrait

The delivery guy arrived amidst the trick-or-treaters last night and brought me this treat! (I loaded the delivery guy up with candy in return.) It’s @vanessafogg.bsky.social ‘s short-story collection THE HOUSE OF ILLUSIONISTS. This collection is *wonderful*

I practiced this guy a lot. Had a picture of him and his twin sister (oops, spoilers) doing magic that I'd drawn on my bedroom wall for a while (I'd love to say "as a kid" but this was actually when I was in college, LOL)
