Sunrise at a favored place on this earth. It's quiet and peaceful there. The weight of the world can be lifted away for a short time. I can look for the occasional horseshoe crab that needs rescued. I can feel sand on my bare feet. Everything is different there from day to day, but the same.

Good morning, Jean! What a beautiful sunrise. I hope you have a great day and dodge the raindrops! I am on here less this week. On the internet less ever since we started that war. I’m just kind of hunkering down. Protecting my calm. 🙏🏻

Clouds fill the sky over the shoreline and as the sun rises they illuminate in bright vivid colors. The cove is frozen with some ice. In the foreground is a spruce and hydrangea tree next to a pole.

Good morning friends! Happy Thursday! It’ll be colder today and rainy. I watched the clouds move in and it helped create some drama. Here’s today’s #SunriseMagic on the #CTShoreline Have a great day everyone! #landscape #photography

Oh, yes, please post more! I saw Hocus Pocus of the Universe for $850 and The Weight of a Soul for a mere $200.

I looked online to see about buying one of her books. From the pricing I saw, they must be quite rare! I love The Two-Headed Calf and didn’t know her other work. I will search my library system. Thank you for posting this!

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

The Whole of It -a poem by Laura Gilpin I am as resilient as a robin's egg falling out of the nest twenty feet above ground. My one salvation is the little boy across the street who collects odds and ends.

From one of my favorite poets, Laura Gilpin. I’m grateful to have her book, The Hocus-pocus of the Universe.

No biggie, just a Great Grey Owl out for a walk wearing some leggings. 😜 #wildlife #owls #birds

Same. I “discover” new people to follow through the reposts of people I follow already. Much cozier that way, and my world on here still expands, only in ways that delight me rather than repel me, lol.

Oh my goodness! 🥹

The cutest thing I’ve ever seen and I know I say that about a lot of animals but this little guy hurt my entire soul. I was beaming the whole way home!! 🥺🥺

Le sacche alle zampe sono piene di polline:
un carico pari al 25% dell loro peso.
Quando il nettare di alcuni #fiori fermenta al sole, produce alcol: le #api che lo bevono tornano a casa su di giri; all'ingresso dell'alveare le guardiane gli impediscono di entrare finché non passa la sbronza

A purple flower with tendrils that form nearly perfect circles grows into the center of the frame from the bottom. Bright yellow bokeh surrounded by darker greens in the background frames the flower nicely

On the ledge of a palm tree sits a red-tailed hawk hunched over. He pulls at a rodent he caught. Behind the hawks tail, a gray and white mockingbird hovers in mid-flight with feet pointing at the hawk.

A red-tailed hawk eats a rodent while a Northern mockingbird gets territorial. Happy 💙 #SkySunday! There is a #BlueSky in the background. 😉

A Great Grey Owl outstretches her wings wide to slow down. The background is snow covered. Her talons can be seen getting ready to grab the landing post.

The grace and ease with which a Great Grey Owl moves is a sight to behold. Here a Great Grey uses her wings to slow down as she approaches a post to land on. And check out those talons! #wildlife #birds #owls

Yes, indeed. It’s funny how words written over two hundred years ago can apply to the present day. I guess narcissists have always been and always will be. I just prefer them to not run my country.

Thanks, Jean! Yes, all is well here! Have a wonderful day ❤️

A pylon stands in still water, with a gull perched on top. The quotation is from the poem “The Lay of the Last Minstrel” by Sir Walter Scott

“High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonor’d, and unsung.”

Peace train take this country ☀️

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Enjoying every drop of nature

there's nothing I can do to combat back reality right now, but I'm trying!
