Autumn #WeekVforVowels #AlphabetChallenge
Trees covered in autumn leaves of yellow and orange line a small lake and reflecting onto the water. Swimming in the middle is what I believe is a female Hooded Merganser. There are five Great Egrets sitting in the trees.

I tried to sneak a picture of Arnie Barnie while he was asleep but he gave me a one-eyed peek and my #Bright flash reflected in his eye. 😄 #BlueSkyArtShow
#Caturday #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #HappyCaturday
An orange cat is laying on a white and light blue blanket. The flash of the camera is reflecting off of his one eye that is open. Underneath the cat on the left is a small tan catnip-filled cloth mouse.

I'm probably wrong but I'm just going to say that this turtle smiled at me after I fed it little bits of carrot. 😁🐢
A turtle with varying shades of brown except for underneath, which is a light shade of yellow, is sitting half in a pond and half on the wet ground. It is looking sideways at the camera.

I was taking more moon photos this morning and noticed this nice shadow on the boardwalk. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows
A partially covered pier sits over the river. The covered area is brown wood with a bench in the center. The boardwalk and railing is silver. The single light at the landing is casting the railings' shadow on to the boardwalk. In the background is a line of trees and a white boat.

I decided to snap a picture of this pretty super moon tonight instead of waiting until the early morning like I usually do. I’m so glad that I did because I got to share the telescope with several neighbors whom I don’t normally see at 3am. 🌝

Ok, y'all have gotten me all excited about deer now... so we usually keep the fence to the marsh closed but I can keep it open if deer will come visit. I saw heavy tracks in the marsh mud a few weeks ago. I'm thinking a large possum but could be deer? What do you think?
Animal tracks in brown and grey mud topped with fallen oak leaves. Water from the marsh is on the left. Animal track deep in brown marsh mud topped with fallen leaves.

It reminds me of the whale's mouth in 'Finding Nemo'. 😁🐋Beautiful photo!
A screenshot of the animated movie 'Finding Nemo'. A Humpback whale is facing the camera. On the left is a little blue fish and on the right is an orange fish with white stripes.

On Friday, I counted thirty starfish stranded on the beach. Since they sort of go where the water takes them, I'm wondering if the hurricane hundreds of miles away caused it or maybe our sudden cold snap made them lethargic. It's ok to gently pick them up and place them back in the water though. 🦑

This smiley-face sky and I are wishing you a happy #SkySunday. 😊
White puffy clouds form the shape of two eyes and a smiling mouth against a blue sky. Beneath are the tops of green trees. There are the tops of a yellow and white tents at the very bottom.

Yep - @jen-bookfreedom.bsky.social are Live oak tree huggers. 😁

There are two turkeys that hang out on the preserve and I get to see them some mornings. Beautiful birds. This is one I saw a few weeks ago. I would love to see more though!
A turkey is facing with its back to the camera and grey, black and white wings are flapping in the air. It is standing on its toes. The walkway beneath the turkey is black pavement covered in graffiti.

Happy #FossilFriday! I believe this is the external cast of a gastropod in a little chunk of limestone rock. It's also my contribution to the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRock
A light brown outer spiral of possibly a snail has formed a shape inside a chunk of limestone which has various colors of light grey, white, and black. I could five spirals going down into the rock.

Happy Halloween everyone! #Halloweencats
Ann orange cat with green eyes sits facing right and up with its tail to the left on grass and fallen leaves. In the background are white and brown steps. There is also a garden flag with the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' character Oogie Boogie on it that reads "Oogie Boogie". Behind the flag is purple sweetgrass or muhly grass.
