Ethereal. Serene.
Foggy mountain dawn.
I'm thankful for the tranquility
it brings to my soul.

The super full moon this morning looked tiny in the phone picture but my eyes could see it larger with all its details. It looked so beautiful framed by the red autumn maple tree at its peak color outside my balcony porch.

Come with me
into the field of sunflowers.
Their faces are all turned toward the sun,
they are holding it in their thin arms.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

I love how that hazy and cloudy mountain side shows through the frame of the neighborhood trees.

So much life and possibilities in one little section the size of my hand.
The mushroom indicating a network of mycelium.
And two acorns starting to germinate looking for soil to anchor into.

Let's get some uplifting pics going, or a so-so video of a fledgling begging for more sunflower seeds from parent goldfinch. I missed filming the harvesting sunflower seeds and the feeding as I hurry to pull out my phone. But I got the begging at the tree next to the sunflowers.

I started a Captain’s Log per se tracking factual things I did, or happened, and time, etc. It also has a section of what I received, money or free.
BTW, Notice how I framed my picture at a slant so the words of my writing on Zara's Log become out of focus. Looks like I need a new pencil too.

When bees bump into each other.
Two native bees, one large and one tiny, bump into each other at the local sunflower. Interesting how the larger one is the one that freaks out.

Figuring out my writing rythm hasn't been easy. Takes trial and error, because everyone is different. What works for one doesn't work for another. But I think I’m starting to figure it out. Turns out I’m more of an afternoon writer, with a classical radio station in the background.

I hope you get the funding you desperately need.
I wanted to comment on Stevie not taking his pills, which are cheaper. One thing I do with pills with my elderly cat Georgie is that I use a mortar & pestal and crush his pills and mix it with his food, or in a tasty treat.
