We always said if it was our country we’d step up to the plate and strangely enough, whether we like it or not, this uncomfortable moment has arrived and we are all holding our breath. Our complacency is what they are counting on. We need a strategy to help pull us TOGETHER!!

This is from an iPhone that doesn’t really reflect the beauty of the almost full orange moon on a navy blue background of the night sky and Lake Superior.😊

We’re at a cabin at Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground in Mackinaw City, MI. Along the Lake Superior coast they have benches, swings, and kettle shaped fire pits for all to enjoy. It’s quite spectacular and affordable.😊

The tree, which was at least 4,862 years old and possibly more than 5,000, was cut down in 1964 by a graduate student and United States Forest Service personnel for research purposes. (from Wikipedia)

I hope you had a happy stump day too! When you can’t find a mushroom or bird there’s always some pretty cool stumps around.

It's #StumpDay again!! Let's give it up for the noble stump, giving its life force back to the forest as its parting gift!💚🌲🪵🌲💚

"Life lives on life...Everything that lives lives on the death of something else... Death is an act of giving"

- Joseph Campbell

#eastcoastkin #photography #nature #tree

A moss covered stump glows in the sunbeams that dance their way though the forest canopy. The remnants of a once radiant tree now takes the role of nourisher of the forest. Breeding new life into its surrounding family and friends. A noble and necessary task to continue the circle of life in the temperate rainforest of Vancouver Island.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Evening #BlueSky 🫖 The cemetery should have been their final resting place,it wasn’t 😳 (alt for more) Have a great evening friends ☺️ #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky

With our picture description we have a short tale of Zombie’s to fit tonight’s theme…

Our black-and-white photograph shows an old graveyard filled with tall, intricately carved Celtic crosses made of stone just outside the village where l live here in Ireland .

Moss and age spots mark the surfaces, and the carvings are worn by time. The tallest cross stands in the foreground, its circular design framed against a dark, almost night-like sky streaked with thin clouds.

Rows of other gravestones stretch behind it, some leaning, some half-covered in ivy. In the distance, thick yew trees loom, their dark foliage adding to the heavy stillness of the scene.

The atmosphere feels ancient, sacred — and quietly unsettling. Our picture is finished off with a pure white border frame. Now for our Zombie tale for this evening.

I call this…The Restless Earth

The night was moonless when the first sound came, a deep cracking groan from beneath the earth. The air was still, yet the ground trembled softly, as though something vast was stirring below the graves.

Moss crumbled from the crosses as the soil before them began to shift. A pale, dirt-caked hand clawed through the earth, followed by another.

The dead, long forgotten, were waking, eyes clouded, bones creaking with the weight of centuries. They rose not in rage, but in confusion, bound by whispers only the dead could hear.

The crosses glowed faintly in the darkness, their carved knots pulsing like veins of light, trying to hold the boundary between the living and the lost.

But the whispers grew louder, names being called, promises broken.

By dawn, the graveyard stood silent again. Only the disturbed soil and faint drag marks across the grass hinted at what had risen… and where it might have gone.

They walk still

Sleep well my friends.
