Hello, friends. I've had an unusually busy weekend so far, so I haven't had much time to reply to your comments since yesterday mid-morning. I'll catch up on you all as my time allows later today. Thanks, take care, and have a wonderful Stunday ☀️🙏
Day's epilogue features heavy, hovering clouds echoing vermilion hues of the departed sun, dearly missed after a storm. Heavy clouds linger Sun departs from horizon Brightness remembered
As clouds remain in evening sunlight fade
They court us in vermilion serenade

#SouthernCalifornia, last Monday evening
Through two panels of fences, a cord loops around, both of its ends secured by a closed padlock. The fences guard a vacant lot, overgrown with green grass, from human trespassers. Lonely plot of land Sits still, awaits improvement For now, grass persists
Green grass reclaims a lot that's locked away
For now, this land awaits a better day

Southern California, earlier today
Tranquil lake at sunset with a very thin layer of smooth ice over the lake with some open water near the shore. Silhouetted trees line the horizon and rocks on the left side of the frame are reflecting light. The sky is soft yellow transitioning to a delicate orange moving across the horizon. The soft colours reflect on the lake.
It’s happening…

Good morning, Suse. As the days get colder, I hope you stay warm like the colours by the horizon in your sky. Have a wonderful start to your weekend, my friend ☕️🤞
A little bug in black with orange spots on its head and white spots on the back sits on a green closed flower head.
You're welcome, and thanks 🙏

Thanks, Monika, for your compliments 🙏
You're welcome 🙏 It's great you like those places. Carmel-by-the-Sea is a charming town, and the drive between Morro Bay and Monterey feels like passing through another world. Serenity indeed
Neat rhyming haiku. Do you pronounce "squirrel" as two syllables, then?
Neat, fascinating find. I'll have to pay more attention to these fruits if I ever pass by one of these trees in my part of California.
Thanks for following me back and liking many of my posts and reposts, btw. Appreciate your support 🙏
The small, green, developing fruits are visible clustered along the thick branches. Edible by humans but have a bland taste.
Fig Tree species of the genus Ficus, such as Ficus Superba or Ficus Nota that exhibits cauliflory, the phenomenon where fruits grow directly from the main trunk and branches. 🌱
Arboretum find in California.

Neat photo and metaphor you fashioned in your alt text 👏
Stunning colors you caught in those clouds 🌥️
Sunset lighting up some “small”clouds, turning them bright colors of orange and peach, below lies a forest full of coniferous trees.

Great pairing of picture and poem, especially the last line 👏

Beautiful, wistful poem. I live near a shoreline, so this poem especially speaks to me 🌊
By The Shoreline 🐚
The sting of sharp winds slicing
Seaweed beds ebbed
On flows of tides turning
The tiny sands drifting down dunes
Shells, mussels and crab remnants
Seagulls pecking at our hollow remains
As you and I drift miles apart
Wandering our eyes out into grey waves
Crashing down shorelines
Roof, chimneys trees and power lines silhouetted against a pale sunset sky with a small cluster of peach coloured clouds.

A black and white photo of two silhouetted hikers, dwarfed by Pumori’s immense sunlit icy slopes as swirling clouds drift upward, highlighting the contrast between human fragility and the mountain’s overwhelming power.
Insignificant

Good to see you back online from your trek. Mountains do have a way of making us humans feel small. Great photo 👍
The textures look so similar that the frog almost looks camouflaged in this B&W photo. Only its shadow gives it away. Nice picture 👏
I found this grey tree frog on the head of my grandmother's concrete porch goose a few years ago. I liked the repetition of the oval shape and the unity of tone and texture. Also, what a cute little frog!
Treefrog.

Very nice photo 👏 Neat how you captured so much detail on that tiny frog before it jumped off on its way through life
