The popular ledge at McAfee Knob seen with ghost like mountains pushing through the clouds in the background.  In the left of frame is what I believe to be Amsterdam/Troutville, VA.

The trail maintains a steady but forgiving pace, with a mix of early fall colors.

Inktober Day 1: Seasons (2024 prompts because I wanted to draw them last year but discovered them too late.)

In the high mountains autumn & winter often merge into one entity at times... & winter tends to be a time of plenty for predators like coyotes, so I drew my coyote character Sedge playing!❀️

Along the road from Leadville to Minturn, through Tennessee Pass. Just a small sample of the mountains of CO in the fall.

Caught a bunch of trout, but the the sheer beauty of Alaska in the fall was the real star today

Beautiful early evening light illuminates the fall foliage on a mountainside in Utah.

Today’s theme for #BlueskyArtShow is #Relax, and that’s just what I’m doing. Heavy rain here today with snow in the mountains so I’m home enjoying coffee with my love, listening to music. Perfect- like the light hitting this mountain. #nature #photography #art #eastcoastkin #travel #photography

There are so many great things about being able to make fresh salsa from tomatoes from your own garden, but I think the very BEST thing is getting to combine tomatoes that taste really different from each other into a salsa that never tastes the same twice.

Also, they get emergency care, but no follow up, so if it's any kind of chronic condition, they can't get the (relatively) cheap medication to keep from being back in the ER again.

And the ER is by far the most expensive way to provide any kind of care

What happens when religions become identity movements? Nothing good.
