Brown dog asleep in the sun with her nose against an empty plastic hamburger package.
Log with holes.
Mama and baby manatees in turquoise water, palm tree in the foreground and other manatees behind them.
White duck in food tray waggling his feet behind him.
Quiet residential street in mist, with a soft golden street lamp and a few little Christmas deer under broad trees.
White duck with Christmas bow, snuggling rubber duckies.
Goofy black dog with uneven teeth.
Sleeping black dog, head on pillows.
Wooden table with my arm in oven mitt that's like a bear paw, holding a bowl of porridge.
A Treeing Walker Coonhound gazes wistfully at the camera (it's suppertime) while a white Pekin duck behind him looks around the room, deciding where to sit.
Mostly-peeled potato with remaining peel shaped mostly like the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
A map showing the plate boundaries of Earth, where plates meet and either push against each other, or move away from each other. This isn't a neat process and many boundaries are where plates move past each other with a more sideways motion. All create earthquakes, many create volcanoes. This is a normal part of our Earth and has been for billions of years, the boundaries meeting are a result of the upper layers of Earth moving on our round planet. We aren't "on the verge of breaking apart."
Gravy with leftover chopped liver on top of bead, on a pink plate and wooden table.
A black short hair dog asleep, breathing through her fangs.
Black pittie with a big smile, tongue in happy pant. A black and white hound dog is stretched out asleep behind her.
My faithful Mouse Broom gazes out the window, wondering where everybody is.
Me in witchy garbage, with a big patched hat covering my face. I'm holding a toy black owl.
A bright orange bowl with macaroni, potatoes, hot dogs, corn.
A quiet corner with a table holding a glowing salt lamp in a wrought iron basket, and a candle in a carved bronze cauldron, reflecting star patterns on the yellow wall.
Multiple people with poles holding up a giant Great Blue Heron puppet with wings spread, with a Sun-like sign saying, "We Rise".
Sign says project 2025 with a crossover circle over it, then "save climate science US"
A woman and teen girl, the woman wears an American flag dress and carries a pink parasol, and the girl has a pride flag wrapped around her..
Home of the brave, not the cruel.
Me, woman in pink flowered hat with crown on top, bright yellow embroidered shirt, yellow loose skirt, waving a small American flag, next to Rep. Soto who is wearing a bright blue shirt, Grey pants, and holding a larger American flag. We're standing in grass next to a road. The sky is bright blue with small fluffy clouds.
Map of Florida showing the waters' path from the large lakes in Osceola County, to the Kissimmee River which runs south to the very large Lake Okeechobee, then into the Everglades.
Vibrant, green wetlands along the Kissimmee River with white water birds flocking above river grasses.
Red Shouldered hawk at top of Norfolk Pine.
A Snowy Egret and an Ibis eat together in the mud along the bank of the pond.
Many-twigged branch in the pond.
A large black and white Muscovy duck walks on a grassy knoll with a house and Live Oak trees in the background.
Great Egret gazing about. He stands on a grassy bank with his clear reflection in the pond.
Bird flying over the pond. The sky is a deep dusky blue with pale pinks over the tree-line as the sun rises.
Red Shouldered Hawk at the top of a Norfolk Pine, awake but still.
A Great Egret - snow-white feathers, black legs - stands on a grassy shore with its head in the water catching a tiny fish. Its wings are spread upward for balance. The water reflects blurred images of trees and the sky with the newly-risen sun on clouds.
A baby heron with wet downy head, spiked like the punk dinosaur it knows it is.
Treeing Walker Coohound in tres fashionable white with black speckles and patches, waits for the duck to finish his breakfast so he can scarf up what's left. The duck and dog are separated by a light green curtain, and the duck sits next to his own life size bright yellow rubber ducky.
White clouds formed into cute goblin in a blue sky over trees.
A dragonfly zooms over a turtle nose breathing at the pond surface. The dragonfly is near the shore and the turtle farther out, making the dragonfly look much bigger than the turtle snout.
Spiderweb in the nook of a window. It's obviously old and not used anymore, the spider hasn't done housekeeping for a while.
Cypress trees immersed in swamp water, with otters living their lives along what may be a gator.
White Pekin duck in blankets nestling a small yellow rubber duckling.
A dark outline of trees with a bright blob rising behind it, probably the moon but could be an intergalactic portal opening.
A woodpecker hangs upside down on the trunk of a palm tree, looking at another young woodpecker whose head is peeking around the trunk.
Pond edge with short grass and some longer grass poking out of the water. A gator snout and eyes watch me from a distance.
A corner of a garden with several lush tropical plants hugs a small tree where lichen happily grows. A birdhouse, painted in joyful, colorful designs, hangs from the tree along with wind chimes. Behind the garden is a stretch of green lawn.
A little mushroom that looks like a white umbrella grows among grass. The sunrise lights up its delicate features and a very ting winged bug sits at the top.
