Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the most enchanting and unique hotels in the world. It is famous for its resident herd of Rothschild giraffes who casually stroll the grounds and often poke their heads through the windows to join guests for breakfast. #photography #graphics #kenya

The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was a fixture in our house, tho I don't think that my Mom was very amused! She told me to never play Dylan in the house, that he sounded terrible, lol!

The Fort Worth Water Gardens is cooling oasis in the concrete jungle of downtown. It has three pools of water and a terraced knoll, which helps to shield the park from the noise of the City. I went there frequently to relax when I lived in Fort Worth. #photography #cyanotype

@mackaracka.bsky.social I'm shopping for sandals & thought of you when I read this ↓ "As far as quality, these are really on par with the Teva Hurricanes that I had to replace quickly. (Dog ate them)... They had a big selection of colors. I will gladly buy another pair if my dog eats these too!"

The "Do It Anyway" quote originates from a set of paradoxical commandments written by Dr. Kent M. Keith in 1968. It became famous after being found on the walls of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta.

This painting is fascinating with a slight smile and a penetrating, slightly seductive appearance of her eyes. Notice the aura over her head. Change the shadows, and she appears slightly sad. #daVinci #MonaLisa #art

The #lyrebird can imitate any sound—another bird, a camera click, a car alarm, etc.. A wonderful video by David Attenborough who is still working at age 99. #nature #film #birds www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSB7...

I was both in fear of and in love with 'Diana of the Tower' by Augustus Saint-Gaudens whenever I visited the #AmonCarter #Muesem in Fort Worth. There were more than one version of the sculpture. The first one atop Madison Square Garden was destroyed.

I've seen many storms in the years that I traveled across #pineislandsound to #northcaptivaisland I've seen cold fronts and rain moving toward the boat and traveled through the fog with a GPS.

“Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” Socrates

Donna left the next day for her four hour drive home. The last thing she said to me was, “Our love is forever.” A week later, I received a postcard from her. I didn't hear from her again. “Oh, Donna, oh, Donna, where can you be? Where can you be?”

I spent the day yesterday learning how to make a greeting card using my own images. The printer settings for size and positioning are kind of tricky, and I had printer problems. I ordered the envelopes that fit 8.5 x 11 folded card stock. #greetings #photography #art

@johngraham-hart.bsky.social Thanks for the info about X to Bluesky. I had no idea this was possible.

@haiku-poetry.bsky.social I love Haiku! 3 of mine: nothing tastes better on a bright summer morning than peaches and cream alone on the beach the peace of nature's rhythm solace for my soul esoteric words confuse lovely ideas like loud harsh cymbals

Those were the days of calling a girl on a dial phone and asking nervously "I was wondering, um, well you know, uh, maybe you would like to go to the dance with me?" Then, a second of silence. A forever moment and "Sure," she said! #bigbopper #chantillylace #poetryinmotion
