I think I need a news and social media break this weekend. Going to contemplate how to balance staying informed but, not letting the overwhelm steal my joy. Spending time with this cute little stinker will help. #teddybear #furbro #dogs #onlybeautifulthings #selfcare #staykind
The sweetest ever black and white poodle mix laying back on a white snuggly blanket. Teddy is also sporting a grey and black hoodie. He’s looking right at the camera with a little bit of his pink tongue sticking out.

“Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and we can reflect light in powerful ways if we choose to do so.” Robyn Nola

Perched on a spouting green weed and framed by a blue sky and white clouds, the cute bug eyes of the dragonfly reflects light from the sunshine they are basking in.

Ad flyers and live music promos overlap each other on a rusted space. Centered in the middle of the shot is a man with brown hair and a red dot on his forehead. He holds a gun pointed at the viewer. The words love and hate are scrawled on his fingers. Thug is written in green across his pants.

“I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic. “ George Carlin

A kaleidoscope of flowers in bold purples, bright reds and pretty pinks frame the green sprites that take center stage.

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. #maryoliver #art #alcoholink #loveislove #poetry #painting
Shades of teal and black stretch across the canvas, orbs passing through the scene.

A close-up view of the back of a hibiscus flower after the rain. Rain drops shimmer across colors bursting in pink and orange hues. Light green sepals support the brilliant bloom.

A close-up of thirsty saguaro cactus trunk, cracked from the drought. Ribs prominent and its dark spines almost gone. Flecks of its once green hue interspersed amongst its now faded flesh.

The Steeplechase Pavilion, which had the most prominent appearance of Tillie in Coney Island, was destroyed by Fred Trump in 1966 in an unsuccessful attempt to create condos on the site. I had to do with this reproduction.

All 28 teeth bared in a wide demonic grin (yes, I counted). Tillie’s wide blue eyes are daring you to step on up to the boardwalk ride. Dark hair parted down the middle, swooping up on the ends like the horns of the devil.

The lovely Curcuma petiolata that I inherited when I moved into my home.

“Pretty in pink, isn't she?”

The ginger plant wears what appears to be is a dazzling crown in a deep pink hue. This cone-shaped flower holds sparking water, sprouting bright yellow buds. Several large green leaves fan the left and right sides of the beauty.

These models love to pose for you at the St Pete Pier. Glamour Shots, anyone?

#birds #nature #photography #blackandwhitephoto #florida
A playful brown pelican perched on a railing at the St Pete Pier. (How many “p” words can I get in one sentence?) Head swiveled, staring right at the camera, and looking over their right wing - this posing pelican was definitely glamming it up for me.

They were all neatly lined up, facing the same direction…then the garbage truck turned the corner and ruined my picture. Or did it?

Birds that were perched on a wire, scattering in every direction possible. They look like acrobats.

Ominous looking abandoned storefront of Heaven’s Depot in Montgomery, Alabama. Shadows embrace the darkness that has left streaks on its once bright facade.
