We only get this one life. Trying to make mine count. I want to help #savedemocracy. Here for #books, #education, #science #factualnews, #kindness, #writing and to spread a little cheer through #photography.
Did some things for my mental health on Thanksgiving: ran a 5K turkey trot with my family and then brought home a puppy. Meet our precocious Golden. I don’t think I’ve slept more than four hours in a row since I got her but she is a sweetheart. We will be besties, I’m sure. #puppies

Is fall your fav time of year? It is mine. Reds captivate our vision while rest of world fades to muted, sad grays. Reds may be the last hurrah for leaves but it reminds me there is beauty in all stages of life.. #fall #photography #inspiration

Street lamp lights up as the last rays of sunshine dip below the horizon, creating an eery glow that whispers, “time to get home.” (Hey, our neighborhood has gators so you betcha I’m not walking around after dark.) #nature #twilight or #twilightzone #photography

#birdwatching #readysettakeoff on today’s 5.5 mile walk, the birds kept me company. Or did they? So many took flight as I approached. Hmmm. Should I feel abandoned?

Today’s fall 5K in coastal North Carolina. Thousands of people moving in the same direction. Young. Old. Different ethnicities. No insults or snarky comments. Just encouragement: You’ve got this! Keep going. This is the America I want back. I’m willing to work for it. Are you? #united

Despite the federal shutdown, all incoming “flights” here at the beach experienced a safe landing this morning. Nature finds a way; why can’t our government? #morningmusings #nature #photography #nc #nclife #bestofthebeach

It’s always darkest before the dawn. Moon glow and high tides. Rough surf and skeletons in the sand. Feeling eerily like October. (And I can’t stop humming “Shake it out” by Florence and the Machine when I see these photos). #beach #feelinglikefall #October #photography

Same moon different locale. Nc “moonshine” amidst pink clouds at sunrise on the Carolina coast. High tide and rough waters but gorgeous glow to start the day. #photography #photographers

Felt like fall on yesterday’s walk. And a reminder that daylight drifts into night earlier each day. Almost didn’t make it home before dark. Anyone else feel the squeeze of shorter days yet? #nature #photography.

Today’s morning walk at the beach.
Nothing finer than golden hours of sunrise or sunset at the beach. I had a buddy walking with me this morning. #photography #nature
