It's the end of the day, and, you know, it's been a perfect one.

Long ago we kicked off our shoes so we could walk barefoot in the sand. Walk, and stroll, and wade in the water. Watch people fly kites. Laugh at the dogs that chase tennis balls (do they ever tire of this game?).

Listen to the surf. Create an impromptu sand castle and watch the waves flow over it.

Just . . . be here.

Her thoughts rose up to the clouds in the sky and danced with them there. Her dreams, bigger than the sea, reached out to the horizon.

And yet all of it tucked neatly inside the depths of her heart.

There's so much to explore at the sea, especially around the rocks. The first sight of a starfish clinging to a rugged surface is always a delight.

"Look, there's one!" one of us calls.

"Where? Where? Oh, there! And look, there's another one!"

Do you see the starfish in the image?

Oh look, there's one!

This is a serene landscape photograph capturing a misty sunrise over an open field. In the foreground, a vast grassy field stretches across the image, its surface dew-covered, with subtle rows suggesting it might be a mowed area. The grass is rendered in muted golden-brown tones due to the low light. Silhouetted against the glowing sky are several leafless trees, indicating late autumn or winter. On the left side stands a prominent large tree with a broad, branching canopy of bare limbs. Further into the midground, three smaller solitary trees emerge from the mist, their dark silhouettes creating a sense of depth and isolation. A thick layer of soft, golden-tinted fog blankets the middle and background, partially obscuring a distant tree line on the horizon. The sun, low in the sky on the right side, appears as a bright, diffused orb, casting a warm, hazy light that gradients the sky from pale blue at the top to soft orange and yellow near the horizon. The overall atmosphere is calm, ethereal, and peaceful, evoking a sense of quiet solitude in nature.

It was a big rock star, one that craved no screaming fans and pulsating lights, and it certainly didn't lip sync.

Despite making no sound at all, it managed to draw eyes to it, simply by being big and rugged, silent and beautiful.

It was most definitely, inarguable There.

A great egret stands among the dense greenery, her feathers glowing softly in the light. The delicate breeding plumes drape like strands of silk, while her long, orange-and-black bill and piercing yellow eye bring quiet strength to her graceful form. There’s a peaceful stillness here — a moment of pure elegance within the wild.

This is an autumn season photo taken at a "T" intersection of two paths. A number of the trees are in the foreground which still have colourful leaves attached. Some of the leaves however have fallen and cover the ground. The background has vegetation that is still green in places. This photo definitely has an autumn vibe and feel to it. The frame is filled with colour.

Yesterday we took our family to our favorite #nature park in #Louisiana. It was my 3 month old nephew’s very first hike and the first place I ever found #WildClay years ago when we lived in Baton Rouge.

Me standing on a wooden path in a forest, wearing a baggy t-shirt and black pants, and carrying a baby in a front-facing carrier. The baby is dressed in colorful pants. The setting features trees and pine needles on the ground.

While it is possible to overthink a situation, to over analyze, to spend too much time in mental activity and not enough in physical, that really isn't an overweening problem in a society filled with screens.

Bluebird dad was calling.
Little one gathering all their courage.
And off it went into the nearby trees.
At least three of them 😍 😥 .

Turns out tomato sex is the reason we have one of life’s greatest foods: the modern potato. They’re hybrids of tomatoes and a non-tuberous potato ancestor called Solanum Etuberosum.

Thank you, horny little tomatoes.
