Survival and joy. Time to let my breath out after sharing. Please say yes to life. Your challenges are real. There is a way forward. I am proof of coming back from a dark place. If you hold onto sorrow, there will be no room for joy. Gratitude changes everything. 🩵💙💜 Talk kindly to yourself.

Ok, last sunset pic for tonight. I just get giddy over the beauty that is right outside my door when I am hanging out on the front range and not in the high country. Different kinds of beauty. Colorado sunset. Detail of the foreground plants.

Yep, more sunset. This closer shot really shows more of a deep golden and yellow of the sun reflecting on the cloud bottoms as well as the rain layer that was just above me.

More sunset. We usually only get one a night. 🍃🌿🌱

Sunset through a rainy window She dances in the rain with her face to the sky The truth about the rain Let it tell you Stand in it with your eyes closed Dance in it and let it kiss your face Let it refresh you Let each drop stay A gift from the clouds to Remind you to breathe

Stayed for the rain. Colorado foothills sunset

Came for the sunset… Colorado foothills sunset tonight taken 10 minutes ago

youtu.be/anDaq8sKDPU?... More tunes for your weekend.

Paper Kite Butterfly Butterfly Pavilion Colorado

When adults are let loose in a kids play area They have fun!

Up to some good fun: 🌲🌲🌲 No groaning out loud, but yes, Christmas is just around the corner. I hand make 99% of the cards I give to people. This year will be no exception which means my elves (me) need to get busy creating. I have something fun up my sleeve for BSky peeps. If curious, see ALT.

Primary colors of autumn Nearly complimentary colors since the trees are red/orange. Colorado mountains Nature blows me away. All one has to do is wander a bit outdoors.

Here fishy, fishy Underwater screen capture from Deerfield Beach underwater camera feed. Stumbled on the site and was fascinated watching live feed from under the sea. It is a chance to dive without getting wet. See ALT for more. I am not associated with them, just something beautiful to share.

Clockworks Clock I made for my sister from a base kit. Was a very fun project to do.

Walk with me through the seasons Your hand in mine Let the light breeze dance upon our faces and whisper gently In shadow or sunshine Kiss me here in this moment This one moment we have now The path is beautiful before us Painted yellow for our joy Remember us here Remember our love Pam 🍃🌿🌱

Puppy eyes And romance scams. Learn from my poor judgement. My head said caution but my heart jumped out of sync to my common sense. Just a note to the women here on BSky (men may have similar situations but may not share it) Probably my last post on this subject. There are two others. See ALT

youtu.be/vpozQc7VMVs?... Music soothes and moves the soul. Had to share another tune to break up the aspen leaf pics. 🌱🌿🍃

“There’s gold in them thar hills” (Mining reference) Western mountains of Colorado Was going to use that saying before but hesitated not being sure the reference would be understood. Another BSky poster suggested they would have used that so I guess people will get the reference.

Puppy eyes. Follow up for women on BSky See ALT

Aspen Another view from the same area Colorado

Through the trees Aspen gold season Light wind was blowing through so hard to get everything in focus.

Puppy eyes: A warning to women here on BSky. Romance scammers are very present here as per several personal encounters since being here. To start, blocking DM’s is the best way to avoid them. Please see ALT for more. Some delightful and genuine people here but please use caution. Please repost.
