Coins on a military grave signify a visitor's connection to the service member, with different denominations carrying specific meanings, like a penny for a visit and a quarter for being present at the time of death. This tradition is a quiet way to pay respects and has roots in ancient practices of ensuring passage to the afterlife. At national cemeteries, these collected coins are often used for cemetery upkeep and to help fund burials for other veterans. Meaning of each coin Penny: You visited the grave to pay your respects. Nickel: You and the deceased served together at boot camp. Dime: You served with the deceased in some capacity. Quarter: You were there with the service member when they died.

While hiking the Craggy Gardens Trail, I saw a fallen tree shaped like a frozen ocean wave.

While hiking on the Craggy Gardens Pinnacle Trail, I came across this fallen tree which looks like an ocean wave frozen in wood - thus a timbertide. Craggy Gardens in North Carolina near Asheville is a popular spot along the Blue Ridge Parkway featuring a visitors center, hiking trails, scenic views, and a lovely mountain picnic area. Elevation of Craggy Gardens is 5,500 feet and since it is more than 3,500 feet higher in elevation than Asheville, one should be prepared for temperatures 10-20 degrees cooler than the city. In summer it is not unusual to be greeted by low clouds and fog, but if one waits a bit it will clear. The weather can change rapidly. Typically during mid to late June Craggy Gardens is covered in a spectacular floral display of pink and purple rhododendron flowers that blanket the trails and mountainside. However, this season the Catawba Rhododendron bloomed early in May. So by June only a few bushes of rhododendron could be found on the mountainside and none on the Pinnacle Trail. While no flowers were to be seen the trail was still a lovely lush green with lovely unique trees growing along the trail.

Yesterday evening in the front yard.
In the photo you are looking a little upwards through the trees at the sky, the trees still have some leaves but they are thinning, the trees are across the bottom and upwards to the middle of the picture. The sky behind and through the trees is a pale orange and thin clouds shoot up and around the trees that are turning pink, and the blue sky surrounding them.

A vibrant orange poppy stands tall against a soft, blurred background of greenery. The text of John McCrae's poem "In Flanders Fields" is elegantly overlaid beside the flower.

The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.
J.R.R. Tolkien
The photo is focused on a single strand of barbed wire with three points visible on the barb, and the surrounding background is blurry brown and green grass, a white fence post and beyond are blurry trees with orange and a little yellow sky.

Bridalveil Falls in Autumn

Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite Valley is one of the most prominent falls in the park and usually the first major waterfall someone sees while entering the park.

pixels.com/featured/bri...

#BridalveilFallsInAutumn #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt
Bridalveil Falls In Autumn You are standing at the base of Yosemite Valley, surrounded by towering granite cliffs. The air is crisp with the coolness of autumn, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and fallen leaves. Bridalveil Falls pours down from a high cliff, a ribbon of water that drops hundreds of feet. In spring it roars so powerfully that mist drenches anyone nearby, but in this autumn moment the flow is gentler—steady, graceful, and easier to approach. Imagine the sound: a continuous rush of water, like a deep exhale, echoing against the stone walls. The waterfall’s spray lightly dampens the rocks, making them slick in places. The scene feels both powerful and serene: nature’s endurance captured in a single waterfall that refuses to fade, even as the season shifts. It’s a reminder of resilience and beauty, standing tall against time.
