MY SON 😍

Here we go again!! Happy #Caturday 🐈🐈🐈

A daily occurrence 🙈

🐦 Western Bluebird... 💙 FLEDGLINGS 💙 have gray with spots on their backs and chests, with blue on their short, rounded wings and tails. They are not yet skilled fliers, and it's common for only about half of them to survive after leaving the nest. 🪺 Now you know. 🌿 #StunDay #Bluebirds #Birds 🪶

“Being must be felt. It can't be thought.” ~Eckhart Tolle 🕉️ This whole frame feels fuzzy... 🌿 ...in #ClassicMono! 🖤🤍 #BlackandWhitePhotography #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin #Monochrome #Mammals #BlackandWhite #Wildlife

“The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” —Robert Henri

The slur "pansy" is thrown around to call someone weak, effeminate, or afraid. But have you actually met these flowers?? These badasses survived all winter through multiple snows and countless frosts. Now they are back and ready to cash some cheques.

Today's 420 moment of Zen... ...imagine being the fly. 🌿🦌🪰🌿 🕉️ Have a great #420day! Peace! 🫶

“A great artist is always before his time or behind it.” —George Moore

From the perspective of someone trying to get writing published, the inverse is true.

NOT a chipmunk. 🐿️ This fuzzy dude is a Harris' Antelope Squirrel. 🥰 Often mistaken for chipmunks, but they have a white stripe down their sides & a white ring around the eyes. They also bounce across your path differently. Not pictured. Now you know. #TinyTuesday 📸 Ammospermophilus harrisii 🌿🦊

"Algebra" is from the Arabic "al-jabr," meaning "reunion of broken parts." #etymology

"The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless." —Jean-Jacques Rousseau

“I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.” —Vincent Van Gogh

Got a cool idea for a novel? That’s your concept. But unless you turn it into a premise, you might end up like Chuck Wendig’s old man lost at the mall—eating fries, forgetting your car. Let’s fix that. A thread 🧵🪓 #writingcommunity

Gosh. Were that this true. My doubt holds me tight in inaction, the fits and starts the fear. When in the tiny bud of secret knowing, a brilliant brain within, lashing to find a weakness in the skin, to push free to let my heart be. #poem #nationalpoetrymonth #poetrysky #poetsofbluesky #doubt

MY DAUGHTER 😍😭

“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.” —Robert Hughes

And now you know the rest of the story... ...for this episode of enfloofenation #ThursJay. 💙 📸 Woodhouse's Scrub-jay 🪶🌿 #ThursJay #Corvids #Birds

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past & future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is. ~Eckhart Tolle 🕉️

"Slogan" comes from Scottish Gaelic "sluagh-ghairm," meaning "battle cry." #etymology

“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.” —Robert Hughes

“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.” —Andy Warhol
