I want to start by saying I do not like this photo of myself but it is the vibe I wanted so...

I recently learned that my street used to be a private drive. Stables were at the far end and I imagine this field may have been where the stables stood.

#SelfPortraitSunday #LookingBack #selfiesunday
I am trying to look old-timey as a walk in an overgrown field on the edge of the woods.

Emancipation Proclamation draft room.

The desk is a replica, the original is in the White House.

Two Roads Diverged

This path splits and most people take the way which crosses 7 lanes of busy traffic. 🤷‍♀️
I take the path which goes under the road and winds into the woods. 🌳
I've only taken the other path once and that was enough for me.

#SelfPortraitSunday #HiddenInPlainSight
Walking on a paved path under 7 lanes of traffic that is lit by florescent lights. The graffiti on the wall says "skibidi" I stopped while running errands to take this and i just wanted a photo with a shadow and I only ended up with two the pick from. Oh well.

It's a dark and dreary day today so I'll attempt to brighten it with my ready to bloom Thanksgiving cactus and my #BlueBrewMugs contribution for Susan.

A weathered and abandoned boat for 🌊⚓🌲

#TidesOutTuesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved
An old wooden boat is on blocks with high grass growing around it. A cove of water is behind the boat and evergreen trees are on the left in the distance. I shared the black and white version of this for one of the blue sky art show weeks.

"The Fall"

The yellow trees are popping! 💛🍁🌳

We had five deer visiting morning. It was a surprise, they haven't been in the yard in a couple of months. 🦌

"Knight Rider"

I thought it was cute that this sporty little car was parked in front of a Lucky Danger restaurant sign. 💙🏎️🎱

Thanks for making this community such a bright spot. 💙

I end up taking photos of myself where I would have taken photos of my kids...💛🤓😅

Good morning, Susan. ❄️
We’re still away and we woke up to snow. Snow is much more enjoyable when it falls on vacation and not at home.
How are you?

A spring river winding through a gravely bar, scattered with large bleached driftwood logs. Tall green trees line the banks under a blue sky, with mountains in the background. This was the first time we were able to walk this trail, it's usually flooded in the spring. Eagle River, Anchorage, Alaska
