I was given some leftover flowers from a luncheon at work. I really need give myself flowers every now and then because each time I look at this little bouquet I smile.

A very large #spider web on our deck this foggy morning. Some sort of orb weaver. #photography

Recently I switched my Netflix icon to the Winona Ryder one. My son initially thought was me.

Bless his heart. If only.

This was such a nice moment of seeing this little guy looking at me while I was reading on the deck. #photography #wildlife #deer

Goodness, as I was writing this a red-shouldered hawk flew by.

I will be on the deck the rest of the day.

I hiked over 3.5 miles this morning. The weather was gorgeous. Sunny with highs in the upper 60s.

A little bit of peace in the mountains. Bees and rhododendrons with the creek sounds in the background.

Went hiking and saw a salamander crossing the trail. Best photo I could get.

This has various names, but I’m going with Fairy Wand. It’s also called Devil’s Bit. 🤷🏻‍♀️
