It's #MountainMonday! Here is a shot of the Shenandoah Valley in late fall, and I think it works for #BlueskyMonday as well. A lovely place even without leaves!

#mountains #shenandoahvalley #nature #eastcoastkin #photography #fall #winter
A view of a stone guard rail overlooking a mountainous valley of rolling peaks and valleys. The mountains are brown and grow more purple and blue in the distance. Overhead the sky is a brilliant blue with white streaks of clouds.

It snowed last night! It was a mix of snow and ice so we have some very grainy, graupel-like snow.

#snow #ice #winter #trees #micro #abstract #cold #photography #nature
A small pine branch covered with grainy snow that looks almost like sleet pellets, the green of the pine sticking out of the white. The rest of the photo is out of focus, making the branch the focal point.

Happy #caturday from old man Merry, who is looking very regal and very brown in the light on his throne, where he has the shades to the porch adjusted just right, lol.

#cat #catsofbluesky #tuxedo #blackcat #eastcoastkin #photography #seniorcat
An elder black cat with a white splotch on his throat lays on a platform in front of 2 windows like a sphinx. He is in a sunbeam and the sunlight makes his fur look very brown.

It's #ForestFriday! Thank goodness. This has been a tough week, and I'm looking forward to the weekend. Do you have any plans to get out in nature this weekend?

#rocks #moss #lichen #trees #woods #nature #photography #eastcoastkin #shenandoahvalley #mist #fog
A photo of a misty forest hillside, with large rocks covered in green lichen and many thin tree trunks disappearing into the fog in the background. The ground is covered with brown leaves, the sky is grey, and some of the tree trunks are also covered or dotted with bright green lichen.

Good morning, Bluesky. For #urbangaze, the view from the red line train at Silver Spring station, MD.

A brown dog with dark brown spots and white splotches looks up at the camera where she is laying on a green wool blanket. She has white feet and a white tip of the tail, as well as a white splotch near her nose. There is a pink spot on her nose and lip.

Ladybug soon after we adopted her 2 years ago. She was covered in scars and had patches of missing fur, so she loved being wrapped up in blankets. Still does, even though all her fur has grown back!

A puppy with brown fur, brown spots and brown and white splotches on her face and front feet is wrapped in a grey and black plaid blanket on a grey dog bed. She is looking up at the camera quizzically with her ears perked. She has a pink spot on her nose and upper lip.

Good morning, Bluesky. For #WaterfallWednesday, here is one from the Trout River in upstate NY. It was too cold to put our feet in, but it looks like a great summer watering hole.

"Mom, I'm tired."

#dog #dogsofbluesky #obi #cute #eastcoastkin #photography #pets #family #rescue #mutt
A tan dog lays in the back seat of a car and rests his head on the net dividing the back and front seats. He has soulful brown eyes and looks tired, his black nose and darker jowls smushed up against the net. A bright red blanket is balled up in the seat next to him.

For #RockinTuesday, some upstate NY rocks and trees as silent sentinels in the mist

#mist #fog #trees #rocks #eastcoastkin #photography #moody #nature
A boundary of grey rocks and boulders stands before a line of dark, green pine trees, which disappear into the thick mist, a grey shroud above them. The photo naturally does not have much color due to the fog.

I think where I went wrong is not jumping in this fairy circle last summer and asking to be spirited away.

A smattering of white mushrooms in a lush, green grassy space, with the mushrooms making a vague circle.

Good morning, Bluesky. For #MountainMonday, touching the clouds: Whiteface Mountain, NY.

#mountain #whiteface #newyork #monday #eastcoastkin #photography #nature #trees #sky #bluesky #clouds
A photo of the side of Whiteface Mountain in sight of the castle, with the green, pine-covered face of the mountain touching a white, fluffy cloud. The cloud casts a shadow across the lower point of the mountain where the road up crosses under it. In the distance the dark blue of more mountains and a brilliant blue sky above.

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December.
A sign with a pink and white soft serve swirl cone with the words "I scream! You scream! We all scream just constantly each day is a new nightmare in this Hell world we call earth."

I love it when my partner sends photos of the dogs...Ladybug's zoomie face is hilarious.

Good morning, Bluesky. For #WaterfallWednesday, a small (maybe the smallest) but permanent waterfall trickling from an old tunnel. Ok, maybe it's more of a baby rapid or a rivulet.

#water #wednesday #green #summer #throwback #photography #eastcoastkin #nature #tunnel #architecture
A photo of an old tunnel in a stone wall. Trees and vines grow around the wall which has grass growing at the top of it. A thin stream of water trickles from the waterfall which joins a somewhat larger stream closer to the camera. A sun beam shines across the middle of the photo, hitting the water.

A throwback to the outrageous ambush and attack by a feral baby land shark named Obi on a local's ankle (everyone survived, but it was touch and go)

Good morning, Bluesky. For #mountainmonday, the mountain behind the train bridge at Harper's Ferry, WV.

A rusty, trellised train bridge stretches across the Potomac River, which is green-brown. An older ruin of a stone foundation of a long gone bridge stands to the right of the picture in the foreground while a rocky mountain covered with green growth touches the cloudless blue sky in the background.

The local park already has some holiday decorations out, thanks to mother nature.

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.
A woman (Sandal Bergman) with long blonde hair and dark brown eyes wears leather armor, a leather choker and a studded leather headband 80s style over her hair. She is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression.
