That would have been my guess, though I didn't make the connection to my pushing it remark.
In the meantime I was sitting here muttering about needing that edit button as I don't see the screaming mistakes until after I hit that post button! Why is that I wonder?
A bit too challenging for me to hike, yet it's still beautiful to just stand and gaze... and BREATHE!
Thank you, as ever, dear Alina!!!🙇♀️👋
Thanks Sheena! I think? Would you like to translate that for me? I am almost thinking you're telling me to go away, but that couldn't be it?
(Actually just pulling your leg a wee bit since lots of talk tends to get a bit mangled crossing our ocean.) 😉
The hills just beyond our neighborhood. Perhaps 10 minutes is stretching it a bit, but still close. It all started at my feet with brushy shrubs at my feet in some gravelly soil. The hills side drops to a stretch of evergreen trees. Off to the right a hilltop shows its pinkish top. Off to the left is a wave of hills turned blue in the distance, topped by a streak of pinkish clouds (that's where I'm claiming the slight hint of purple where the cloud hits the hilltop.) The sky is a muted blue. Take a deep breath and enjoy.
And for this glorious Monday....
#Blue #Mountains
Even a bit of #ColorADay #PinkMon
Not to mention #10MinutesFromHome
May all your Mondays glow....
Would it be pushing it to claim there's a touch of #WeekPforPurple #AlphabetChallenge in the yonder below the clouds? 😉
Sounds like you could use a hug. Pity it can't be a real one!
Quite the feast for the little ones! We've tried to figure out how on earth the mother managed to hang onto that huge clump of bugs!
You are most welcome! That center is mesmerizing!
Thank you, Luis, and the bird thanks you for the compliment! 😉
Oh! That's wonderful!!! Looks like I'll have to make an effort to get out there at a minus tide again someday (though I'm not anything like an early riser!!! 🥴)
Oh that's so good to hear! I remember visits at minus tides when the sea stars were all over and then they gradually disappeared until there were NONE I could find the last time I visited. What a relief that they've managed to recover! Yay! 🤸💃🤸❤️
Me, too! Add to that the buzzing and the blinding of the fluorescent overhead lights! They literally gave me headaches. Can't imagine working in an open floor plan workspace. At least we had cubicles, but the noise and lighting issue was still annoying.
Magnificent! ✨
OMG... it's Monday already!!!
Just wanted to thank you for posting these.
You've made it possible to keep up (somewhat!) to the best of my ability! 😉❤️
Violet-green Swallow with a beak full of bugs for the young one.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks.

Though I'm not sure I'd want to join in on this particular feast.

Those corncobs might do some damage to your teeth! 😂
What a perfect capture of this specimen. Is it recent? Or before they started dying off?
Thanks.... and perhaps more to come? 😉
Must say I enjoyed the repeated posts! 👋❤️
Simply stunning! 🤩‼️
Thanks for the reminder! 🧘
Must be that time of year again! ❤️🤣

Of course I forgot to add the #BirdOfTheDay hashtag.

Hoping to get in under the wire here...

Lovely!
I miss our camping trips, but I'm getting to an age where that sort of travel isn't possible. I sure miss it though. Now I get to relive through my photos and those that folks post here... including yours!!! You have no idea how much pleasure I get from them.
Good advice. If only I could put it into practice!
It's wings look like stained glass! Beautiful!
Stunning! I love that area! Thanks for the memories!
