good morning…from a winter sunrise… #oceans #sunrise #LandscapePhotography #EastCoastKin #AtlanticOcean #wondrous

A Great Blue Heron in one of the local rivers. Most of these birds migrate but a few will stay and hang around the open waters.

a few minutes later, a veil of rain clouds swept in…. #clouds #rain #wondrous #oceans #LandscapePhotography #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #AtlanticOcean

Great story, great quote— “It’s harvest season: The birds are gathering nuts, the squirrels are gathering nuts and we are, as well,” Over explained. “But from the plant’s perspective, it’s like a season of giving.” #gardens #seeds #UrbanGardening #StatenIsland #Brooklyn #BotanicalGardens 🌱

It was a win for democracy in Indiana today, but read the last sentence in this quote by a state Senator. Then read it again. I can only hope the tide is turning—and that people doing the right thing don’t get killed in the process. #DefendDemocracy

Encountering plants unknown to me while traveling is a such delight. Here, on a recent trip to Japan, Apple-of-Peru, also known as the shoofly plant. The pods are as lovely as the flowers. 🌱 #BlueSkyMonday #flowers #EastCoastKin #bloomscrolling #japan #FlowerPhotography
