a new path

well we had never adventured down this little alley before........so off we went!

big waving fronds!

Berries..........and seashells.........

partially hidden windows......

..................and doors.

"follow the yellow brick road......." ooooops--wrong color! Wrong song! LOL

Some beautiful blooms!

pretty gates, and white stone birds!

Back out on the street again.......

I have photographed this old door before......I love the thick thick glass

Hey, whatcha doin up there??!

I got a kick out of this kitty laying so calmly and gracefully on this big beam! He seemed so relaxed and like he does this all the time....LOL

I got this pretty blue shawl/scarf at the thrift store.

So glad you came along with us! there is always something to see!

Christmas is nearly here and we are ALMOST done wrapping presents, how about y'all?

How wonderful it is to live in a city where people EXPECT you to walk down paths and look at their gardens and gates! That gorgeous glass door with the sheaf of wheat! You are the Queen of pretty shawls, Debbi!

I visited your city once and loved it. I love seeing your adventurous walks and the beautiful things you see. I would be reticent to walk down some unknown alley but I am glad you did it. Stay safe

Lovely lazy stroll through the alleyway, Debbi! Love it. All the colors are so beautiful, including the relaxed orange cat. I like your blue shawl ... great find. Yes I am nearly done, having wrapped 90% of the presents last Thursday ahead of our all-family Christmas on Friday. But we will still have presents to open on the actual day, with the two daughters who live here in Columbia, and their families. A much more low-key celebration than Thanksgiving and First Christmas, and therefore a day that I will enjoy a great deal. We'll start with our traditional Christmas Eve buffet and holiday movies, and go from there. Hope your holiday is delightful from start to finish! xoxo

You found so many scenes to photograph and you select how you frame your photos very successfully; I like the orange cat relaxing on the wooden beam, the metal gate and the secret pathway. Your blue shawl is pretty, I have some nice scarves and shawls too, I feel feminine and graceful when wearing them.

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
