Monday's Peek-A-Boo Bullfrog 11-07-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Monday.  Peek-a-boo from the bullfrog in my canal.  This guy was hard to catch with the camera.  As soon as he sees me, he croaks and goes back under water.  Sometimes persistence pays.

I hope you had a great Monday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunday's Friends Church 11-06-16

Hello and happy Sunday.  Welcome to Pleasant View Friends Church in Eagle Springs, NC,  established in 1938.  This is a Quaker Church.  Do you know what it means to be a Quaker?  Either way, I'll tell you the definition according to Dictionary.com:  "a member of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian movement founded by George Fox circa 1650 and devoted to peaceful principles. Central to the Quakers' belief is the doctrine of the “Inner Light,” or sense of Christ's direct working in the soul. This has led them to reject both formal ministry and all set forms of worship."  I'm liking the Quaker thoughts.  If you'd like to learn a little more about Quakerism, check out:  http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/2001/06/what-liberal-quakers-believe.aspx.

I hope you had a wonderful Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Saturday's Merry Christmas Cactus 11-04-16

Hello and happy Saturday.  It's Christmas in November at my house - well, Christmas Cactus that is.  This beauty is blooming early and I must say I could use a little Christmas Cactus cheer.  While I do enjoy looking at the natural flower, tonight I changed the hue a little bit, added a little shadowing and blurred the edges a little.  And, at the end I noticed there seems to be a little pink heart at the bottom right of the photo.  I like a little heart in all my days.

I hope you had a sensational Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday's Great Blue Heron 11-04-16

Hello and happy Friday.  I hope you're in the mood for fishing today.  Well, if you're not, my little friend here, the Great Blue Heron, is surely in the mood.  Fishing for me is relaxing, entertaining and social.  I don't have to be good at fishing.  For the Great Blue Heron, fishing is vital to survival.  That is pretty stressful for them I imagine.  I like to eat fish but I'm glad my life doesn't depend on me being able to catch a fish.  

I hope you had a good Friday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Thursday's "Star" Power Flower 11-03-16

Hello and happy Thursday. This little "star" of a flower was found in my yard this week.  I don't know why I had a few blooms at this time of year, but I appreciate and enjoy.  We're all stars, in our own way, haha.

I hope you let your star shine today.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Wednesday's Big Eyed Bird 11-02-16

Hello and happy Wednesday.  This is my big eyed bird that I saw at the Asheboro NC Zoo a while back.  It's either trying to listen to what I'm saying or looking at me or both - it's just hard to tell.  However, when I'm at the zoo, I say it's always a good day.

I hope you had a good day today.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday's Bird on a Feeder 11-01-16

Hello and happy Tuesday.  One of my favorite birds is the Cardinal.  This guy seems to be grateful for his seed and stopped before he flew off to give me a photo opportunity.  Turns out that Tuesday was a great day after all!

I hope you had a great Tuesday as well.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
