@Jorsh @danielquinn same here. And speaking of Homestead Rescue, my spouse just saw me cutting limbs out of a tree over my head and said, “ good luck with that, Marty Raney”

Haven't posted photos in a while because I'm woefully behind on editing anything new.

Case and point here - these are from a local northern lights outing along the Oklahoma/Missouri state line from October 10 of last year.

In keeping with my local sightings in the four state area, I tried to see the lights from as many states as possible, so I also have some pics from Missouri and Arkansas as well, although less vibrant due to light pollution.

A mountain bike rests on a gravel path next to a field of tall grasses and wildflowers. The background features a lush green landscape under a clear blue sky.

Paw Paw tree started off a foot tall and has grown over a few years. No fruit yet, but maybe someday…

A young Paw Paw tree with vibrant green leaves is surrounded by a wire protective cage. The tree stands on mulch within a grassy area, with various shrubs and trees in the background.

I'm going to harvest some of this today, before the heat wave starts. It's still beautifully cool this morning.

Sprigs of lavender with their still closed purple buds, against the background of their own greenery, in solstice late afternoon sunlight

So, everybody, @mothninja is now on Beige. I had to manually re-follow. Anna is a good follow for positive posts and great pictures, especially of Venice.

A footpath into the woods, glistening with filtered sunshine through the tree leaves

All it took was six years of care-taking, lessons learned, and more than a little luck (or possibly divine favor), but this year I have peaches! Or maybe the peach trees are saying, "Hey, this year has been rough - here's something sweet to help you through for a bit." Either way, I'm grateful.

#PeachTrees #BackyardOrchard #Gardening

A group of small to medium size peaches, freshly picked from two youngpeach trees shit on a countertop. The small peaches have a deep red skin, while the larger peaches are a brighter red-orange.

@APBBlue And now I have learned a new word 😀

#Sunset 19/06/25 There had been a big thunderstorm about an hour before this picture. The sky was pinkish orange. Very pretty
#AsSeenWalking #MyPhoto #Nature

A picture of the setting sun taken on a street with parked cars. The sky is pinkish orange and yellow No individual clouds, just orange sky. There are large trees in the foreground.

@dillyd I still remember the first night as a kid where I realized how cool lightning bugs were. Running around with the older kids getting them to land on our hands.

For those that voted Patrick, God Bless you. I love Squidward but I wouldn’t rely on him in a jam. As someone here notes, Sun Tzu might make a case for Sponge Bob’s unpredictability. However, let’s face it, Sandy is always going to save everyone’s ass.

@jawarajabbi thanks!
