Looking for the bright spots, but don’t wear rose-colored glasses. Morning walks with the best dog ever keep me sane(-ish). Words to live by: Do no harm and take no shit.

LOLOLOLOL! Yeah, no 😘

Morning walk. I think they look like friends having a nice little chat.

Good day to you all.

Two bright pink roses standing tall and just slightly leaning in toward each other with outer petals barely touching on one side. Looks like two freinds in conversation.

Morning walk on the California coast. Zero complaints.

(Well, okay, I have lots of complaints. But not about this.)

Peace to you all.

Native coastal scrub flowers (bright yellow daisy-like shape, sorry don’t know name) along sandy trail leading to the beach. Tall palms and dark blue ocean in the background, bright blue morning sky above.

Weekend mood. Had a walk, must rest now.

Sending you all peace.

Black and white dog snuggled into blanket on top of bed. Staring straight at the camera with a bit of a “don’t take my picture” vibe. Mostly just looking lazy!

Exactly. You’re either ANTI-Fascist or PRO-Fascist so I would hope if more of us gave it some thought we’d all claim ourselves ANTI-FA. It’s a clear line and we have to choose which side of it we stand on. I think maybe Americans are starting to see this? 🤞

Shit, someone else posted Joy about 8 seconds before I did.

I’ve had wine and I’m going to bed. Thank you for this though 😂 Cheers and sweet dreams to all!

StacyBeeVee @sbvee.bsky.social · 5d

Well if nicknames don’t count, I give up.

Wait!

Joy.

Stu. Abe. Abby. Art. Bess.
Damn you for making me obsess on this, pulling names I’ve probably only seen in random old children’s books!

Morning walk with drama queen… for just 25 cents a day, you can help save him... from me?

Reality is he’s out for his morning walk—every single morning no matter the weather or if I have the flu—but inexplicably when I try to take his picture he looks as if I’ve beaten him.

#dogs #walkingthedog

Cute black and white, and well cared for, mutt stands in the grass, with the edge of a lake behind him. The look he gives the camera is similar to that of the sad commercials about abused animals, thus the author’s note that dog is big faker.

StacyBeeVee @sbvee.bsky.social · 5d

Oh Portland, we love you. Stay weird, I beg you 😂💕👍

Morning walk with fog.

Peace to you all.

Low fog hangs over the lake, blurring the view as trees fade out to nothing in the distance. Up close the distinct leaves of a willow tree hang in strands on the left side of the photo.

Morning walk. Posting late because I’m trying to stay off screens on Sundays. It’s kind of (not) working.

Love eucalyptus even though they’re invasive and highly flammable. As a resident of SoCal it’s truly some kind of betrayal to love them… but just look at those wrinkles!

#trees #photography

Looking up into the branches of a eucalyptus tree where a branch bends off to the right and creates actual wrinkles in the smooth bark. Longs strands of peeling bark hang down the trunk, mixed in with the leaves.

More clouds and I don’t care if I’m being redundant with my photos because the sky was glorious today and I sure need all the joy I can find and I’m guessing you do too.

Take care out there.

Puffy gray and white clouds fill the sky but areas of bright blue shine through. A distant hill is halfway shadowed by the cloud above with sun hitting the green treetops across the bottom of the photo. More hills are seen in back along the horizon.

ICE is abusive and functions outside of our country’s laws. They are the illegal ones. A disgusting display of power that shames our nation.

From this morning’s walk. California Pepper Trees are a favorite of mine.

Close up of the small red berries hanging from the branches of a young California Pepper Tree. Light blue morning sky and hills blurred in the background.

Feels like a trick question 😬😳

The very best kind of human.

StacyBeeVee @sbvee.bsky.social · 16d

Morning walk. I like a gray gloomy morning. It respects my need to slowly and quietly welcome the day. Doesn’t immediately slap me awake like those cheerful and bright sunny mornings.

#morningwalk #trees #photography
#lookingforthebrightspots

Gray low clouds and fog hanging over the hills behind the lake. Dark green trees reflect in the water and the color is barely seen due to the low morning light. Almost looks like a B&W photo but it isn’t.

StacyBeeVee @sbvee.bsky.social · 16d

Makes you wonder exactly what videos his people are showing him…

StacyBeeVee @sbvee.bsky.social · 17d

Great morning with #IndivisibleTopanga as part of the larger #HoldTheLine protests throughout California today.

Resounding support from the heavy traffic on PCH.

Don’t poke the bear.

Protest sign reading “Yes on 50 / California knows how to party”

Held up in front of the beach/ocean at Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades.

Untrained and unserious people just out to make money. These detention centers are an organized crime ring with MAGA ICE “agents” as their muscle. May justice prevail… tragic how many human beings will die before we get there.

Peace to this gentleman’s family.

Morning walk. The clouds are keeping me sane these days because, well… all of it.

Pretty day for a rapture. Please let it be true and don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

Also, zoom in for the ducks having an early flight.

Early skies with clouds being lit from the sunrise over the hills. Ridgeline and trees silhouetted black across the bottom. Four ducks flying across in the middle distance appear as small silhouettes against the clouds and blue sky.
