Another beautiful day. #stetwalk #stetdrive?

Signs of life in zone 7b. #flowerreport #bloomscrolling
Ground-level view of the first blooms in the yard, pink hellebores. Close-up of the pink hellebore with its lighter-colored interior and stamen visible. Fallen beech leaves in the foreground. Lone white hellebore bloom amid copper-colored beech leaves and pine needles. Homes in the background. Close up view of tiny green shoots with buds poking through the pine straw. A happy sign on a warm February day in North Carolina.

Message we might need in these times. In a colleague’s office. 🙏🏽
Multicolored wandering lines drawn like paths on a blackboard hung on a light yellow wall. At the top, someone has written “Time will tell. All ends well” in one of the sinuous spaces between the snaking lines.

Red tulips arc out of a gray vase in all directions behind a bowl of apples in a wooden bowl in the foreground. The reds and yellows of the fruit and flowers echo each other.

Overhead view of Marina Abramović’s A Visual Biography atop a woven poof on a rug with a pink, grey, orange triangle/diamond design. The rich reds of the cover are mirrored in the color of the poof and the rug.

Beautiful day for an afternoon walk on the Beaver Marsh Trail. #durham #stetwalk #hiking
Long view of a marsh in the middle distance and a bright blue sky with clouds and contrails above. Thin trees in the foreground on a bright fall day. Brown official trail sign with white lettering, reading “Possumhaw Trail,” among low lying green vines and brown leaves on the ground. Woods in the distance and a small black dog in a blue jacket is on the left ready to walk on the trail. Looking up at a stand of mostly bare trees against a bright blue sky. The view of the marsh with trees along the back border and a fence line in the foreground. There is a yellow hand-painted sign, depicting a marsh view of a beaver dam and bodies of water, that reads “Keep Beavers Safe.” We saw ducks and small birds and turtles but no beavers or otters this time.

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz.
Dr Teeth from the Muppet Show smiles at the camera and extends his hand, which has a shiny ring on it.

Good morning. Need to head out on a #stetwalk, but I don’t want to leave my begonia. 😉
Warm light filters through a gryphon begonia in a green pot by a window through which the fall trees look to be ablaze. The fiery yellow and orange of the trees is mirrored in the colors of the plant.

I took a photo this afternoon of a v similar mushroom. 😊 (In NC.)
Small white mushroom nestled among the leaves on a wooded hillside. Trees receding in a line on the left cast shadows across a wooded landscape on a bright fall day.

Hello, from Puck! She’s happy to see you here and to be away from the hellsite.
Cutest little yellow dog in the world runs at the camera across a wooden bridge. There are green trees in the background.

Afternoon walk. Chatham County, #NorthCarolina (pt. 1)
Wild ginger framed in a triangle of light among fallen leaves on a hillside. Trees fallen against each other in the shape of a teepee. Two thin trees arcing toward each other and crossing about 3/4 of the way up. They are framed by a larger tree and bright orange leaves illuminated by the sun. A shallow creek bed with large rocks recedes into the woods with a steep hill on the left side.

Best I could do with the #moon tonight. Phone did *not* want to focus.
Nighttime view of a blurry moon brightening the sky. Below is a ring of trees above a house with two windows glowing orange.

Hi. We’re in camouflage season. #dogsofbluesky
Medium-sized yellow dog named Puck, seen from the side, blends into the fall leaves, which are various hues of yellow and gold.

My yellow Carolina dog Puck smiles up at me while standing in similarly colored fallen pin oak leaves.

I cannot abide having that guy at the top of my feed so here is a cloud drawn by Louise Bourgeois*.

Is there a #cloudsky? Where are the cloud lovers?

Watercolor by Louise Bourgeois (Untitled, 1968) of a fluffy, undulating cloud with red and blue shadow lines, against a light blue sky seen in the upper left third of the image, hovering over a low, lined landscape or body of water also accented in blue and red lines.

Ready for her walk. 👀👀
Yellow dog with big ears lies on a diamond-patterned rug, staring straight at the lens and hoping that we're going for a walk.
