Today’s soundtrack now playing.

An odd combination. A Mallard duck and squirrel hang out under the birdfeeder.

Plotting chaos: one brings the quack, the other handles the nuts. Not sure why I took this photo years ago. Just thought it was an odd combination. Was waiting for a punchline to come that didn't.

Street art. A full sized airplane in a parking lot appeared to have had a run in with Superman.

Street art. A mannequin pole vaulter attempts to vault over a pizza place.

Driving through a little town in Iowa and I spot this great #StreetArt at a pizza place. Couldn’t stop to get better shots. Next time I’m going to stop and get a pie And better pics!

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven (Official Audio) YouTube video by Led Zeppelin

Today’s #SongOfTheDay is IMO perhaps the greatest of all time. My favorite band. Epic. I wish I was able to see them in concert. I did see Robert Plant, and that was awesome, but not the same. Enjoy

A foggy morning cliffside on Oregon's rugged coastline. Rocks or sea stacks poke out of the Pacific. Waves breaking against them. The trees grow bent due to constant wind.

Oregon's rugged coastline

The Juncos are gone.
They’ll be missed, but not too much—
a flash of white in flight
fading into thawing ground.

Snow loosens its grip,
and green begins to rise,
quiet and certain,
like spring remembering itself.

In their place,
the first brave bloom
opens without looking back.

That’s correct!

My song of the day pick is from a band on my Mt. Rushmore. Though they had great success I feel many people under value this band.

Do any of you know who the famous “guest artist” who sings the falsetto intro and background in this song? Enjoy!

An image of the Painted Hills. Seen along the hillside are vibrant, colorful layers of different soils. The surrounding vegetation is brown, thirsty with the exception of scattered green. A shadow appears on the ground from the clouds above.

Good Morning Bluesky! #MountainMonday. Painted Hills - John Day Fossil Beds of Eastern Oregon.

Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video Remastered) YouTube video by Queen Official

Today’s Epic song has a lot of nostalgic memories for me. My big sister used to sing this song full on driving down the road with the windows down. I’d be embarrassed as people looked at us - now I miss it! Enjoy!

Nice!

A few years ago I wrote an Ezine article about what I thought were the 10 greatest rock and roll songs all time. Should have known it would be terribly controversial. Rather than open that can of worms again I going to post one epic song a day. Enjoy!

A storm is brewing. Black clouds roll over the Pacific Ocean at Cannon Beach in Oregon. Rays of sunshine force down on Haystack Rock. The edge between land and water, calm and storm.

Unreal! Wow - beautiful!

Awe inspiring. Thank you!

That’s one of the books that make my 20. This book absolutely changed my life so much that I now own a small farm and try to grow/raise as much of my own food as possible using Joel’s methods. I’ve given this book to at least a dozen people and recommended to 100’s

Need to visit this!

Have you read The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition. Enjoyed the extra of this edition.

I reread the The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition last summer. So much longer, but worth it.

The cover gives me Where the Wild Things Are vibes.
