summer

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but if we can't behold the beauty in this I'm not sure we can be helped 😁

🐧🌙 In #Iceland's Westman Islands, entire families stay up all night during "puffling season" to rescue baby #puffins confused by town lights.

This century-old #tradition saves up to 7,000 pufflings each #summer. Light #pollution disrupts the natural navigation that guides these young #birds to sea, so the community collects lost birds in cardboard boxes and releases them from clifftops.

Sunflowers are at their peak right now 🌻 Each bloom turning toward the sun, radiating warmth and late summer beauty. Their golden glow feels like nature’s way of holding onto sunshine just a little longer.

Found a glorious wildflower field near Chappell field in #BlueKnobStatePark, #Pavia, #PA, a few weeks back. I wandered around in there with the camera and felt like I'd gone to heaven!!! Found this sweet Great Spangled Fritillary who was kind enough to pose for me for a while!

At my website as lots of great wall art options, puzzles, coffee mugs and more: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/the-great-spangled-fritillary-lois-bryan.html

We've been getting quite a few hummingbirds at the feeders lately. I think I post this every year, but I can't get over how they battle.

Tranquil dawn on the Florida coast, soft pastel light paints the sky in shades of lavender and rose. A lone fisherman stands at the edge of the surf, casting into the calm sea as shorebirds scatter along the sand. The clouds glow with the first light of day, reflecting across the gentle waves in a serene moment of stillness and beauty.

Regularly someone from our Mastodon community says that photos of Summer bring them a moment of happiness.
Today I mentioned to her that she brings smiles to people she will most likely never meet in real life.
Just in case she gets tired of my camera in her face I wanted her to know it is worth me pestering her.
She says she is totally on board because she has extra love to go around.

As summer gives way to fall, sunflowers linger in the warm light, framing a rustic adobe doorway in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The weathered wood and earthen walls tell stories of time and tradition, while the blooms stand tall as a final farewell to the season. A perfect meeting of nature’s fleeting beauty and the enduring charm of the Southwest. 🌻🏜️

I spent a lot of time as a child, wandering through meadows, staring at the sky, exploring my surroundings, daydreaming about the future.

I also spent a lot of time, at home, watching TV.

One was a waste of time, lost moments that could have been spent doing something, anything, of greater worth.

The other wasn't wasted time. Thinking never is.

We are feeling really good this morning.
My cup of coffee is perfect.
Summer is warm, soft and so, so sweet.
I count on this cuddle to get me going and she never lets me down.
Summer says she needs me, too. Awe.
Today, we need all of the gumption we can muster to clean up and mow our front acre before the rains come.
Summer assures me we've got this.
Yesterday, we found out that we are approved for a grant to earthquake retrofit our foundation. I think I found a contractor to do it, fingers crossed. When you live in the middle of nowhere the friend, of a friend, connection might be the best one to have.
On top of that I found someone to fix our furnace and get us winter ready.
Summer says we make a great team.
I told her that I would be on her team any day.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Boats In Blue

Back then we thought the summer would never end. The sun on our faces and the boats in blue.

We get such a short time on this earth don't we?

I didn't know that labs were lap dogs when we got Summer.
Now I know.
As soon as I sit in the recliner here she comes.
She loves being up close and personal.
Today I have lots on my plate.
Our deck construction is down to the finishing touches. My job will be taking the nails out of the boards from the old deck and loading the boards on a trailer so the wood can be recycled.
I am feeling thankful for my husband's strong recovery from his hospital stay and his six pound weight gain. Feeling thankful for the good friends who built our replacement deck. Thankful for a sweet Summer who dispenses love by the bucketfuls.
Good morning, Mastodon.

They felt as if they were about to descend into a magical forest from a fairy tale, except that it was not a forest filled with trees.

That's what made it so magical . . .

Winter temperatures are creeping in, but the soft greens and sunlit edges of this agave bring the warmth of summer back to life. Nature’s geometry and subtle color shifts remind us that even in colder months, there’s still heat in the details.
