Spent part of Labor Day watching from a nearby field as the Blue Angels performed at the local air show. All the kids loved it except the youngest, who found it much too loud.

She is pointing towards the sky. Behind them are large, round hay bales and green trees under a cloudy sky. A woman wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and glasses is holding a young child who is resting against her shoulder. The background features a grassy area with hay bales and trees under a partly cloudy sky. The woman has a gentle expression as she looks at the camera.

I’m thankful for cool summer mornings. 📸

A young boy wearing blue boots stands in a forested area and points a small turtle on the ground near his feet. A box turtle is partially hidden among dry leaves and forest ground cover. A turtle is camouflaged among brown leaves and rocky soil. A turtle is is closed up in his shell with some leaves with grass nearby.

We found lots of turtles on yesterday’s hike. 🐢 📷

A narrow dirt path meanders through a lush forest carpeted with small, light purple wildflowers. The trees, mostly leafless with some budding green leaves, create a canopy above the flowers. The scene feels serene and natural, with a mix of earthy tones and the vibrant purple of the flowers contrasting with the fresh green of the undergrowth.

This is an old photo from back when digital cameras weren’t great. Still, looking at it always makes me think of spring. I’m ready for the weekend rains to pass so we can go hiking again. 📷

Close-up of a white dogwood flower with four petals and a cluster of small green buds at the center. The petals have a slightly pinkish tinge near the edges. The background shows blurred branches and brownish foliage. A close-up of a tree branch adorned with clusters of small, bright pink flowers. The branch is prominent in the foreground, while the background features a blurred view of greenery and forest floor. Some new yellow-green leaves can be seen emerging on the branch. The overall scene gives a sense of springtime in a wooded area.

The view from the front porch tonight—cold but beautiful. 📸

A large tree with bare branches stands in the foreground of a snowy landscape during sunset. The sun is partially hidden by the tree, casting a warm golden glow across the scene. Shadows stretch across the snow-covered ground. In the distance, other trees and a barn are visible against the colorful sky.

I got some Micro.blog stickers! I don’t use many stickers, so I’ll have to think carefully about where to put them. Thanks @jean for sending them out.
