This pack of 5 dozen of the cheapest type egg was $15.99 in December at the BJ’s in Miami. Now, Dump voters are justifying the increase. How stupid are these people? I’m beginning to think we should require IQ tests for voter registration. 🙄

DEATHMOCRACY
I thought I could fly,
Spread my wings to soar ‘cross skies.
Yet, lies watched me die.

The black and white carcass of a bird is striking against the light pavement in this picture. Below the bird is a dark stain that is similar in shape to the bird and likely where it was first decomposing.

Overnight Disappointment: It had been perfect the day prior, but I decided to wait one more day to pick it. The sneaky creature that got to it as I slept just left half of it hanging, teasing me literally at face level. 😩 #photography #mango #nature #fruit

I’m too sexy for my sofa, too sexy for my sofa, I’ll claw you all over…and I do my little turn on the cat walk! - Here’s to healthier days for my beautiful girl. 💔

My gray and black striped cat is in a sexy pose on my blue sofa. She has a ‘come hither’ look on her face as she looks up with soft green eyes.

Life on a NOLA Trolley: French Quarter Colors - Photo credit T. Sainz-Duque (Tessarita) 🎨📷🌺 #color #photography #rainbow #sky #architecture #landscape #art #flowers #balconies #French
The picture shows layers of brick buildings with one to three stories including chimneys, tiny attic windows, and balconies. In the prominent center, there is a balcony with two sets of French doors adorned by sage green shutters leading out to a terrace that is filled with green foliage, an ornate wicker bench, and peppered with a few red blooms.

My variegated Jade with its tiny visitor a couple of years ago. The heat waves last year ended it despite my best efforts. 💔
