#ForestFriday #Scape "Between two major roads leading to Hillsboro and Beaverton, is a wonderful oasis of green, hills, and a small stream. The only sounds are birds, your steps and your breath. All of which seem one now." - mick #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #Oregon #NobleWoodsPark

#Scape, by #MrCalvin "Hmm, #ForestFriday. What should I POST about? I'm STUMPED. Maybe I will LOG in and see what's happening. BARK?" #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic

#ForestFriday, by #MrCalvin "Forest Friday? Really? Really?! Yeah, yeah. I get it. Dogs. Trees. Ha, ha. *snort* Come back when you have a better joke." #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic #Snark not #Scape

Something a little different for #ForestFriday. A bit more subtle, so not a Scape. Just my walk on the way to work. An #UrbanForest as it were. Still nice at the end of a work day, shaking off the dust, to see the #Green. Also, new. #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #Oregon

These are AWESOME. AnnaLois, I will not tag you, but I think you will love the alt-text snark.

#PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy, by #MrCalvin "Okay, People are doing that theme thing again. Best behavior, bud. Yes. Our home is a Palace. We snooze so nice. We...nap...*yawn* when we want. Oh. Yeah. Nap time." #MrLuke #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic

In 1973 Alice Cooper came to New York City at the invitation of Salvador Dali. The artist wanted to make a piece centered around Alice Cooper. The finished piece was a hologram entitled “First Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain.”

#PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy, #UrbanGaze & #HumansOfBlueSky "I've been feeling a bit whimsical with my posts today. Certainly not poking fun, as this a non-profit. But 6 years ago when we first saw it, we said, 'Yep. California.'" #Photography #MickPic #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips

For #PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy, #UrbanGaze & #HumansOfBlueSky "And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is OZYMANDIAS,King of Kings. Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!'" (I should not be left on the roof unsupervised.) #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #Humor?

For #PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy, #UrbanGaze & #HumansOfBlueSky "I cannot think of anything more uplifting than a singalong to 'The Little Mermaid' in the Castro Theater of the Castro District of San Francisco." -mick #Photography #MickPic #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #California #Musical

A quick overview of this morning in Oxford. Yes I'm awkward in front of a camera but the stunning architecture around me, which was practically glowing in the sunshine, should distract sufficiently. Thank heaven for my mist-fan too! Info in the alt text. (iPhone camera)

Important. I had it with my son and eldest daughter a few years ago. It's happening with my youngest daughter now. It can happen rapidly. One minute fine, the next...

For #PalacesandGardens #UpliftingEnergy, #UrbanGaze & #HumansOfBlueSky This guy. "In my various road trips, I have encountered a wonderful assortment of RVs and campers. This one seemed less practical, but more of a rolling art installation." -mick #MickPic #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Art

#WackyWednesdayArt #ColorADay #Red #Bloomscrolling? "I can't remember if I posted this one before. During construction, instead of looking at drab, grey plywood, volunteers would paint colorful murals. Temporary, but beautiful." -mick #StreetArt #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #Portland #Art

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYonder, by #MrCalvin "We were at one of those fun, off leash beaches. That's The Man I'm romping with. Didn't know the lady, but she was more than welcome to join in. The Guy said no. Her loss." #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic

Jackdaw in a Huff for #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Birds&Bokeh Second outing for this one but it matches my sleep deprived mood. (Today's other option is #Birds&Buds) #EastCoastKin #ECK #photography #birds #jackdaw #autumn (Big camera)

For #RockInTuesday now I have new stuff, and I can show my work. This is at the top of Sith...I mean Smith Rock. That cliff and this Rock are made of welded rhyolite tuff, which is deeply compressed volcanic ash and debris. Rock on!🤘🏼 #MickPic #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #SmithRock

Join us this Thursday (25 June) to share uplifting captures taken at fancy abodes and stately gardens for #UpliftingEnergy by #PalacesAndGardens. Moments that brought you joy - a beautiful room or view, fellow visitors laughing, a bird on a statue's head... Everyone welcome! #ECK Info below ⬇️

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYonder "Normally, you get to the top of one of these hikes- I assume, 1st for this kind- you rest, take pics, then it's all down hill. But, oh yeah, then you get to climb Again to the parking lot. Whew." -mick #MickPic #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #SmithRock

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYonder "Normally it's my better half in these #Photos, but she convinced me of the therapeutic value of a cold plunge in the Pacific. So in I went. I lasted 5 minutes. It was awesome." -mick #Photography #KitPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #Astoria

I was just going for the #Flowers then noticed this little fella in the process. Happy surprise. #ColorADay #PinkMon #Bee #MacroMonday #MinimalMonday #bloomscrolling #MickPic #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon

#MacaroniMonday, by #MrCalvin "Oh, I know I can't have the cheese or sauce or spice parts, but a spoon of plain old Mac once a month is okay. What? MaCRO? Oh. Well, if dogs could be embarrassed..." #MaCROMonday #PunDay #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic

Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 22 Jun is the start of Week Y and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Yonder. So pics where the subject is at a distance eg castle on a hill; cow in a far field; boat on the horizon. Basically far away stuff! Use the # below and have fun😊

#ColorADay #OrangeSun "I pay more attention to sunsets now. I'm sure that's not unique to my age. But pictures and words have been a large part of my life. I hope I honor that knowledge." -mick #ImageAndVerse #StunDay #MickPic #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #Ocean #PNW #Sunrise #Sunset #Gearheart

#ImageAndVerse, by #MrCalvin "There once was a cur from Hawaii / Who had no idea on how to write a haiku / Four paws one tail makes five / Grr bark bark grr woof. (Is that how it goes?)" #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic (Image part by mick)

AnnaLois once again setting a high bar for phone photography. Great work.

Technically tomorrow, I wish a Happy #Litha -Midsummer- to my #WitchSky friends and friends in general. I take photos and hike in #Nature to express my reverence for all Life. #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #Ocean #Craft #WitchesOfBluesky #Spirituality #Pagan

#Blueskyartshow #Curve "The strength of the Crooked River Railroad Bridge comes directly from its steel deck arch design, where that distinct curve plays a vital role in carrying immense weight." #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #CrookedRiverGorge

#ShowHeart, by #MrCalvin "Was I spoiled? You betcha! And why shouldn't we be? The User/Interface experience with a dog is off the charts. Hug yours today!" #CalvinWasHere #CalvinIsThere ❤️‍🩹🌈 #Dogs #Calvin #DogsOfBluesky #MickPic

#BlueskyArtShow theme of #Curve "At the Dee Wright Observatory along the 242 McKenze Pass, you get a 360° view of volcanic fields and the surrounding mountains. It is a first-hand look at the massive forces that created this planet." -mick #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips

#Blueskyartshow #Curve "Lighthouses are primarily curved to withstand hurricane-force winds and violent waves from any direction. I believe it is also a comfort to be seen from all around." -mick #Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Oregon #Lighthouse #Ocean

A note, a thread, by #MrCalvin "Even though You People are not My People, I mostly love You. There are no Bad Dogs, but there are certainly some Bad People. Though I am not here in body, I was a guard dog, and I can still watch over The Guy's heart....(cont.)

#BlueskyArtShow and #Curve "You can almost imagine seeing the curvature of the Earth from up here. But in fact I'm only about 650 ft above Crooked River and 3200 ft. above sea level. The factual brain can take a back seat." -mick #MickPic #MickTrip #RoadTrips #SmithRock #Photography #WCK #ECK
