2025 Thursday Trios …

Beside the River

On Tuesday after Coleman arrived home from school, his mom and I took him to the Baseball field to practice his hitting and fielding. Coleman just recently been assigned to a team for T-Ball.

Anyway, after his mom was tired of helping him practice Coleman and I took a short hike down to the river. The C.B. Huss River access is located off the Eleventh (11) Street parking lot. The Kayak rack is located at the river access trailhead.

Last Thursday, Coleman and I hiked the backside of Goat Island Park and Greenway. We hiked along a back road to reach the far side of the South Fork Catawba River. When we reached our starting point, we came upon these three pipes seemingly discarded near the river.

Walking a bit off trail, we saw these three tree stems, limbs, or branches sticking up out of the water. It is always intriguing to see what interesting things we can find along our hikes.

These Wild Daffodils were saw near the river while we were walking up the road to begin our hike for the day.

I have not been able to plant flowers in a really long time, however, that does not stop me from enjoying them or photographing them. Hopefully one day I will live in a place where I’ll be able to plant, water, feed, and nourish my own plants and flowers.

Here is a gallery array of some of my favourite flowers over the years:

LAPC #337 – BOLD

This week’s Lens-Artist Challenge is hosted by Sofia Alves with the blog PHOTOGRAPHIAS. She has chosen a theme of BOLD for this week.

Being Bold is not always easy especially if you’re timid or introverted, however being Bold in your photography is well worth it if you’re able to capture that thrilling moment, that “perfect shot.”

“Your life is your canvas, and you are the masterpiece. There are a million ways to be kind, amazing, fabulous, creative, bold, and interesting.”
Kerli

don’t be scared
of being bold!”

2025 OWS: Floral Displays ready for Spring

After days of freezing cold temperatures and wintery weather, it was a delightful afternoon with a high of 56° and a feels like in the low 60°’s.

After wandering around the trail at Goat Island, it was wonderful to see the floral display at the Center in downtown Cramerton.

Ceramic Flower pots filled with new floral life …

… Could Spring be on the way? Or is the Weather fooling us? Only time will tell. I’ll enjoy the beautiful floral displays and the warmth of the Sun while I can.
