Just a cool looking stump, I saw the other day. Taken in the waning afternoon light.

Not really sure about this picture but decided to post it anyway. Sometimes I like it and others not so much.

I like this turkey tail because it looked like a flower. I thought it was very pretty striking colors and light.

Yeah, I didn’t know about that caption. I’m both somewhat happy and sympathetic to your plight. Happy because at least it was somewhat memorable and sympathetic because I feel sorry that wiggling earworm. And since you long for cuddly swamp puppies,here are a couple more pictures for you.😂

I thought this was pretty and cool. A golden grass seed head catching the last light of fall at Martin Dies Jr. State Park, Lake Steinhagen, Southeast Texas.

Relative Reflection - I just thought it was cool. It’s so nice to just walk around in nature, experience its beauty while partaking in its serene gifts.

This is the little path and bridge I was on when I took the previously posted picture. It reminds me of a little hobbit path or something. If you turn around to the left you would see beautiful cypress trees, and their reflections upon the dark water

Another picture I took the other day after being stuck in traffic. I thought it was very pretty and serene. Perfect spot for afternoon relaxation & meditation. The colors.

View from my morning drive to work. Sometimes rural life is boring however, this makes it all worth it - Natures Majestic Raw Beauty.

Picture taken a couple hours ago after being stuck in traffic. I decided I should stop and take some pictures to relax.

Not sure you can see this good in the thumbnail. I thought about not posting it however, I think it’s pretty even if not the most well composed.

I took this couple months back in Denver. I love these little flowers. Every time I go I try to get a picture of them. This one actually turned out decent.

Turkey tails on an old log. I know, it’s unique but really, there’s been a dearth of mushrooms recently. So was that in mind, here is my simple contribution to #FungiFriday

I’ve always thought Spanish moss was pretty. Yesterday I tried to capture some of its beauty.

Another picture from my Tuesday forest jaunt. It’s not much but pickings were slim.

Until recently, it hadn’t rained here in a long time. Yesterday, I went to see what I could find. I didn’t see much but I did find these.

Tried my hand at photographing people the other day. I don’t like photographing people — or photos of people. I don’t even keep family pictures; when they’re gone, everything goes. So this is new for me — here are a few examples.
