Here’s another for #InsectThursday and a little more appealing than my previous post.

Today’s #BirdofTheDay theme is #SideViews. Here’s a fun #Rufushummingbird photo from last summer.

I noted some recent posts tagged with #mycologymonday and thought these recent images from the front yard might give someone a kick. Especially the desert dwellers!

A lovely #Sunset a couple of nights back. Looking across the Strait of Juan De Fuca to the Olympic Mountains.

It sounds like a great memory Sharon…We loved it too. Snorkeling, swimming, birding and exploring ancient Mayan villages. Great food, and we still are hooked on Marie Sharp hot sauces! Yummm

As the heat of the day accelerates, locals wade into the very warm water for sweet comfort in the shallows

#BlueSkyArtShow with its theme of #Warmth brought back these memories of #Belize.

A bald eagle is seen carefully perched on a cliff edge, during a wind storm, near Cattle Point on San Juan Island, Washington

This #BaldEagle was definitely #OntheEdge fitting the #BirdOfTheDay theme for today.

Sometimes even worse than that; a surreal dystopian Onion article- without the humor!

When a clown moves into the palace, he doesn’t become a king; the palace becomes a circus.

Thank you to everyone that has made the effort to repost my images. Hopefully it’ll help spread some joy!🙏

Frank Bisignano is in charge of OUR money, OUR Social Security!

He was CEO of Fiserv & it lost 40% of its value under his watch. He’s not fit to oversee our money!

Incredible photos and writing!
Thank you so very much for sharing this art and history.

Another #Jazz master passed along. One of the GREATS!
RIP #JackDeJohnette
I was fortunate enough to have seen and heard him live a handful of times over the years.

I was out on a hike to one of my favorite beaches last night, at sunset and the light was refracting off the logs, creating an incredible #Glow I thought, too bad for #BlueSkyArtShow- but alas, the week is not over. :-)

The curtain of this Aurora dropped down from above as seen here, looking northward from American Camp, San Juan Island.

He was an amazing musician and way ahead of his time! I had the pleasure of seeing him and hearing him live many years ago too. GREAT performance!
Thanks for sharing as I hadn’t heard this in a long time.
