Sounds lovely. Have a fantastic day!

"A red-bellied woodpecker clings vertically to the side of a tree trunk, its claws gripping the bark with ease and precision. The bird’s head is crowned with a brilliant red cap that extends from its beak to the nape of its neck, glowing like a flame against the muted tones of the forest. Its face is pale, almost ivory, with a sharp, pointed beak aimed forward—alert and ready. The woodpecker’s back and wings are patterned in striking black and white bars, creating a bold contrast that ripples across its feathers like woven threads. Though named for its belly, the reddish tint there is subtle—more a blush than a bold splash—barely visible beneath its pale chest. The background is softly blurred, a gentle wash of greens and browns that suggest a quiet forest setting. The focus remains entirely on the bird, capturing its vibrant colors and intricate plumage in crisp detail. It appears both watchful and serene, a small sentinel of the woods." - Copilot

So proper.

I love this, Sharon. Thanks for sharing it.

My Dad always said 9 out of 10 times if you listen to your gut feelings, you will be right:

Lo siento mucho.

I simply cannot and I’m grateful for that.

Do it!

What a unique and beautiful bird.

If you’ve never seen one before, this is a strawberry finch.

Good night. Sleep well.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

A photo of a single yellow rose, surrounded by shiny green leaves, caught on a walk through St Augustine FL on a sunny June day.

A single, perfect yellow rose. That's enough to brighten any day. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYellow #Yellow rose means friendship and joy 😊

Peony time in Maine! 🌱

This always makes me chuckle: parents bringing their fledglings to feeders for a serve-yourself banquet, but the fledglings still demanding their parents feed them!
