I think a lot of us are just frustrated and not too happy right now... so while humor is important, but sometimes hard to find...

Oh I just went down that "American Road" with someone else don't want to go there again... We just have to realize we're different and because of upbringing, life experience, etc., we should think of our humor as an accent; yours is different than mine, they're both good, and even funny sometimes! 🤣

Which took me a while to learn to appreciate, in all honesty!

"A black and white photo of Mount Manaslu, framed by a plume of cloud drifting upward, echoing the mountain’s peaks. Light and wind carve a temporary silhouette that hangs for only a heartbeat." ~Mamandy

"For a fleeting moment, the clouds perfectly mirrored the peaks of Manaslu (the 8th highest mountain in the world)."
~Mamady

Thinking of our friend Mamady... Wherever you are, friend, we hope you are safe and know you are loved and missed...

A sense of humor is a sign of intelligence! And don't forget, porcelain skin!

Not a fish, however, a pretty exceptional little shrimp; it looks like it's hand blown glass! 😳💦🪸

I'm sorry..

There are two reasons why I love collaging your photos! ..one, your color theme.. everything flows! Sky blue, beige/brown and white, of course! And the theme is lovely, snowy, water or landscape! 🤗🙌

Hint: My alerts WERE turned on.. hence I know when you post!

Thank you so much for letting me share it; he's a cutie!

A small bird with brilliant colors on its wings and back side almost resembles an Aztec color pattern. It's head is bright cyan.

I agree! Carol's a very good nature photographer.

African pygmy goose, which is actually more closely related to ducks than true geese despite its name.

A single, baren tree reaches upward in a dry golden field. The sky is heavily laden with black storm clouds, but the clouds have parted in the center and reveal the promise of a bright blue sky.

Beautiful grasslands stretch in both directions. A small creek weaves its way through the tall grasses. A storm brews and brings a heavy, thick amount of black and gray clouds overhead.

A beautiful ocean sunrise. The water is a bright blue, contrasted with a rim of bright white foam, which pulls in the bright blue sky and white puffy clouds above.

Let the beauty and wonder around you comfort you and bring you peace, even if only for a little while...🤗✨️
