The trees that are awaiting Springโ€™s touch of greenery are transparently duplicated in the morning calm of the river. Through them the hills are seen along with the blues of the morning sky.

Alice, a poodle lab mix

Oh Alice. Picked up as a stray in Arkansas and unclaimed. She was scheduled to be euthanized but caught a break and is coming to the Twin Cities. She needs a foster home and some love.

A European stonechat perched on a bramble stem, surrounded by fresh green leaves with reddish edges. The small bird has a warm orange chest, mottled brown back, and a pale wing patch. Its beak is stuffed with a messy bundle of dry grass, moss, and fine rootsโ€”nest material so large it partly hides its faceโ€”suggesting it is busy building or lining a nest. The background is softly blurred green, making the bird and the tangle of nesting material stand out clearly.

Good morning. For the alt of todayโ€™s #BirdOfTheDay #NestBuilders Iโ€™m going with this Stonechat who was building a three room extension to the nest, all with sea views. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Nikkล Tลshล-gลซ Shrine Architecture
This photograph captures the ornate and vibrant architecture of the Nikkล Tลshล-gลซ shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tochigi Prefecture. The composition features a multi-tiered pagoda-style structure in the background, intricately decorated with gold leaf, deep reds, and detailed carvings that blend Shinto and Buddhist aesthetics. The eaves of the buildings are lined with repetitive circular patterns, and the gables are adorned with complex golden motifs. In the foreground, several large stone lanterns (tลrล) are covered in a thick, lush layer of bright green moss, grounding the highly decorative buildings within the natural, forested environment of Nikko. The surrounding tall evergreen trees frame the structures, highlighting the harmony between the historic shogunate architecture and the ancient landscape.

Good morning everyone!

Itโ€™s a frosty start to the day here, but the snow is gone and a few birds are starting to sing in the morning. Daylight Saving time arrives soon. Signs of progress towards spring. ๐ŸŒท

Have a beautiful day!

In the hollow of the circle I teeter on uneven ground that is home to tall moss covered trees reaching so high into the blue, blue sky. Partial shadow leads to bright beautiful sunshine lending a little hope

Oh, yes! There is an extensive collection of mature camellias that happily grow under the towering oak trees. You walk along paths surrounded by camellias of all colors and sizes shaded by oak trees. One of my happy places.

Friends stuck in Tel Aviv called the # posted on CNN and State's website. Heard auto message saying not to rely on U.S. gov for help at that time. Directed instead to follow Israeli guidelines + sign up for STEP, which they did before leaving U.S. As of this am, they had received 0 notifications.

Here's hoping you have a strong eggplant year. I had to start new eggplants because my existing plants all died. They are short lived perennials for me, lasting about three years.
