A vase of mixed flowers on a black table, with the novel Atacama by Jendia Gammon on either side; the paperback is on the left and the hardcover is on the right.

Back home in Roanoke, was really annoyed by the couple next to me and had a headache for the second half of the trip but we got here early and my ride was right on time so it was pretty painless except accidentally leaving my headphones in my checked bag and having to settle for my Ann Rule book.

The helpers as we start to #seed the #backyard with micro #clover.

Gracie, the #Yorkie mix and one of her friends, Maggie, taking a break and wondering why we are tearing up their grassy playground.

This image shows two dogs in a grassy and dirt-covered backyard, enclosed by a wooden fence.

In the foreground, a medium-sized dog with long, wavy, golden-red fur is sitting upright, facing towards the left side of the frame. It has a dark collar with orange accents. Parents were a golden and a poodle.

Further back and to the left, a much smaller dog, Yorkie mix, with long, dark, and somewhat shaggy fur is also sitting. It's wearing a dark harness. This smaller dog is looking in the general direction of the larger dog.

The ground beneath the dogs is a mix of patchy green grass and areas of bare brown dirt. Behind the dogs, the wooden fence runs horizontally across the frame. Beyond the fence, there are trees with green leaves and glimpses of a few outbuildings. The lighting suggests it's daytime, with shadows cast on the ground.

@Flominator Did I hear the word #Appalachia in your post? 😁

Beautiful waterfall in western North Carolina, USA. #nature #hiking #waterfall #appalachia

Rufus Morgan waterfall in southern Appalachia in the late spring.

Emerging life from last year's shell.

Spent husks of last season’s seed pods still cling to the branch as fresh green life bursts forth. The renewal feels especially tender here—like nature is pausing between breaths.

(Erythronium americanum)

Shy yellow trout lilies bow to the forest floor, their speckled leaves blending into the mossy backdrop. Their bloom is brief but unmistakable—a wild woodland signal that spring is underway.

Fully Bloomed Red Trillium (Trillium erectum)

This red trillium lifts its deep crimson petals above a carpet of moss and wild greens. A quiet emblem of wild Appalachian spring.

Red Trillium Bud (Trillium erectum)

This red trillium is just beginning to reveal its deep maroon petals, still held in a gentle spiral under a veil of dew. Also known as wake-robin, it waits for the forest to warm.

Alt text: this is a picture of a stream with a small waterfall surrounded by trees.

i've lived in many beautiful places but none that suited me so well as this little farmhouse in a rural tiny town

I spent too much of my time here sad, worried and not enough enjoying the birdsong and verdant green silence, the red breasted robins and robins' egg blue sky, the rural pace that belies how hard everyone works

I will never live in as lovely a place again so I'm trying to soak it in these last few days and etch it in my memory for harder more hectic times

View from under a white carport ceiling looking across the late afternoon shadows on the cement at the gray, red and white farmhouse, with the spindly greening trees behind it, marching up the hillside from the creek across the little road

It's #waterfallwednesday so thought I would share some fresh pics from Fall Creek Falls State Park in #tennessee

Home of the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi! They also give a bit of an #Easter vibe, but maybe that's because I associate spring and vibrant greens with Easter.
