I wonder how long it will take for the bark to grow over those sunglasses? Someone's forgotten item, another person's moment of being silly, eventually being swaddled inside layers of the tree. . . #naturephotography #naturephoto #nature #naturelover #trees #woods #hike #walk #humansinnature #manvsnature #ourdoorlover #outdoors #outside

I love traveling. I especially enjoy seeing what collects in my pockets. Visited a friend in NYC over the weekend and here was my pocket haul at the end of each day. Note more pill holders and less cash on day 2. Those don't have to do with each other. I swear. What's in your pockets? . . #traveler #travel #pockets #NYC #travelphotography #collection #pockethaul #whatsinitspocketses #visiting #visitingfriends #metrocard #pocketstash #whatsinyourpockets #friends

Are you into dark, ironic, and twisted tales? But also love a good social commentary? Have you met, Flannery O'Connor? She's discussed and batted about by witty offhanded cultural comments, but I don't know if those people have taken the time to read her. My latest blog post is up. A review of Flannery O'Connor. The link is in my bio. . . #writingcommunityofig #writing #writersofinstagram #readerofinstagram #read #booklover #booknerd #bookreview #books #flanneryoconnor #southerngothic #southernwriters #blog #blogger #writers @mjudsonbooks #mjudsonbookseller #erinmcdade

Peony seed pods left to dry after their gorgeous, fragrant, frilly bloom. I love the entire life cycle of a peony. From the scoop of ice cream bud to the starfish seed pod. . . #flowerphotography #flowers #naturephotography #naturephoto #NaturePhotography #naturelovers #flowerstagram #botanicals #botanicalphotography #botony #peony #peonies #peonyseedpod #blackandwhitephotography

Sometimes the start of a journey is a lot easier than the finishing of it. My latest blog post is live.

I've always been taught by gardeners I respect to leave pods, seed heads and leaves up for winter. Three reasons I've been told. One is for the plant, especially late bloomers, for fall leaves to collect around it's crown and self mulch through the cold months. Two is for the birds to have something to nibble. Three is for people to have winter interest. This is a coneflower head after a snow squall. . . #gardens #gardening #coneflower #seedhead #winter #wintergarden #wintergardening #snow #snowsquall #Flowers #flowerphotography #flowerstagram #naturephoto #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature
