Coleman enjoys Exploring along the banks …
… of the South Fork Catawba River searching for Nuts.
He often finds Acorns …
which are true botanical Nuts from Oak trees.
He thinks the squirrels will eat them, however, …
the squirrels near us tend to enjoy …
swiping the bird seeds from our feeder.
As you can see he has gathered a handful of Acorns (Nuts).

Capturing Leaves and such along the South Fork Catawba River before church this beautiful Sunny morning with Coleman. We enjoy walking along the riverbanks whenever the opportunity arises. And since we were feeling a bit better after being sick, it was an opportune time.
Leaves of American Sycamore trees …
The American Sycamore tree is native to Eastern North America; which includes the eastern and central United States, the mountains of northeastern Mexico, extreme southern Ontario, and extreme southern Quebec.
The American Sycamore is a long-lived species, typically surviving at least 200 years and likely as long as 500–600 years. Interestingly the species epithet occidentalis is Latin for “western,” referring to the Western Hemisphere and named as such by Carl Linnaeus since the only other species in the genus was P. orientalis (“eastern “), native to the Eastern Hemisphere. Therefore, it became confusing due to the fact that the American Sycamore was first known in the Eastern United States. Hence, it is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Sycamore in order to distinguish it from Platanus racemosa which was discovered later in the Western United States and called western sycamore.

This week is a no theme week for Monochrome Madness, so I thought I’d share some from Standing on the Corner. Shots taken while waiting on the school bus watching the Train rolling slowly down the track. It was going slow … slower … slowly creeping to a stop not having enough power to complete its journey.

Lens-Artists
Photo Challenge #369
Ann-Christine from Leya is this week’s host for the Lens-Artist Photography Challenge. She has chosen a theme of Dreamy which is different and thought worthy for determining what to post. I think I might have figured out a couple of options.
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
Harriet Tubman
“Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.”

The Anolis carolinensis (Green Anole) is a tree-dwelling species of anole lizards native to the Southeastern United States. It is small to medium-sized a trunk-crowned ecomorph green anole which can change its colour to several shades from brown to green. It is sometimes referred to as American chameleon due to its colour-changing ability, but it is not a true chameleon.
The dewlap is usually pink for Anolis carolinensis and is very rarely present in females. The color of the dewlap is variable and different from the lizard eye to the human eye. Green anoles are thought to be capable of seeing a larger range of the UV spectrum, and that the dewlap reflects ultraviolet light to attract mates.

Our Fallen Brothers is called Marine Corps Interrogator Translator monument, it honours those who died in combat. The monument is a 38,000 pound stone and is etched with the names of nine Marines who died in combat, some in World War II, Vietnam, Korea, and Afghanistan.
Marine interrogators and translators worked to question prisoners of war in their native language and translate the information for intelligiance purposes.
The Marine Corps Interrogator Translator Monument serves as a symbol of their sacrifice. This Monument is one of several Memorial Monuments honouring Fallen Soldiers located within the Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville, North Carolina near Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base.
Always Remember our Fallen.

I had plenty of time to look and Skywatch (Weekend Sky) on Friday afternoon waiting and waiting and waiting on the school tbus to bring Coleman back from school. I walked to the bus stop, arrived in plenty of time before the bus was supposed to arrive, but alas I had to wait what seemed like forever before it finally arrived.
I was traffic going up the hill and down the hill and no bus came from either direction for a long, long time. I watched the clouds up above in the sky, then watched a lone black bird soaring overhead. It soared back and forth and to and fro giving a very entertaining show for me while I stood, and stood, and stood some more. Is it a Coragyps atratus (Black Turkey Vulture) or a Ictinaetus malaiensis (Black Eagle)? I’ll let y’all decide and give me your feedback.
Click on each image to enlarge.
I know that the image may not be the best to determine the species. I only had my smartphone with me at the bus stop. Google Lens gives both as suggestions. Go figure.
Now how about looking at some zooming on “land” instead of in the “air.”
You may see the Sky contrast from the early morning Sky above the Amtrak to the afternoon Sky. All images taken from the bus stop up the street from our home.

This week John from Journeys with Johnbo is hosting the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge. He has come up with the “Looking Back” theme of Autumn. With mainly the Northern Hemisphere being in the Autumnal Season and the Leaves are changing colours, it seems appropriate that we show off our Fall/Autumn colours. I am linking up with Dawn’s Festival of Leaves, which I feel is definitely appropriate due to the Autumn Colours of Leaves being displayed. You can find out more about Dawn’s Festival of Leaves challenge here.
Here are my entries for these challenges …

Five days a week as I wait at the bus stop before (with Coleman) school and after school (waiting for Coleman), I watch the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chug chugging up and down the railroad tracks. Coleman loves to watch the trains (he would love to ride in one one day). Sometimes when I am waiting for him to arrive back at the bus stop in the afternoon I’ll capture the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chugging along with my smartphone. Then he’ll watch the train later in the afternoon.
Here is a trio gallery of the Norfolk Southern Trains as they zoom past me standing on the corner.

Walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway was/is a fantastic way to unwind and reflect on the goodnesses I have been blessed with throughout my life and in the environment I currently dwell. God is so good, He’s so good to me. His artistic creations and colour palette are displayed in all the different places we meander through here on earth. The changing colour scheme with every season keeps me in awe of his mighty power to make all things new and beautiful in His time.
This season of change from Summer to Autumn the colours have become more subdued and neutral bringing out the amazing shades of brown, tan, red, and orange. Today, however, I am picturing signs of Autumn as seen through a black and white colour palette.

October 4th was World #Animal Day. This year’s theme is “Save Animals, Save the Planet.” The idea behind the theme is to highlight how protecting animal lives supports a healthier, sustainable planet. 2025 marks the 100th Anniversary of World Animal Day.
Many of us (speaking specifically for myself) do not see Safari, exotic, or any non domesticated animal species other than perhaps in one of the many Zoos around the world.
Here are a few photos I have captured of Animals living in a Zoo or Safari Park environment.
Sadly, Saied, one of the African Lions who called the Greenville Zoo home since 2010 is no longer amongst us. Saied was a 15-year old African Lion who had a rapid and irreversible worsening of degenerative joint disease and spinal neurological issues. After much discussion, testing, and constant monitoring the Greenville Zoo staff had the hard decision to consult and come to an agreement on what was best for Saied. It was with a heavy heart that the consensus reached was to euthanize Saied and relief him once and for all of his suffering.
It is extremely important for us to recognize the value of the Animals which share our planet. They cannot speak for themselves, so we must speak for them. Each species which exist here on earth have unique ways in which they help to support life.
World #Animal Day is a reminder for us to maintain and continue protecting animals. Without the animals our very existence and survival would be nearly impossible and meaningless. When we protect the animals, we are essentially protecting ourselves.

There are many ways the term Hanging could be interpreted, such as Hanging around (with friends) Hanging Upside down (like a “monkey”), Hanging In (Being persistent, carrying on under difficult circumstances), or perhaps used as in the expression How’s it Hanging. These types of Hanging are totally different and distinct from Debbie’s example of Curtains Hanging or any other object Hanging.
I’m going to show you some “Hanging” examples of “Like Mother … Like Son.”

Good Day Everyone! Welcome to my post for John’s Cell Pic Sunday. Previously on September 7th I ran a post introducing the Story Walk that was coming to Cramerton. At that time the Story Walk posts were in the ground waiting for the Story Walk story to be attached. You may view the original Story Walk post here.
During the following Monday I had an amazing opportunity to meet up with John from Journeys with Johnbo blog and his lovely wife, Lynn. We met at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway and walked the trail to the Riverlink Greenway Trail. We walked the trail together enjoying the time together and discovering each story aspect along the Story Walk trail.
Walk along with us as we visit the Story Walk together. Below are some highlights of the Story Walk.

Many Windows (On a Ferry) …
In the Pacific Coast waters off the State of Washington …
Operated by Washington State Ferries. The MV Chelan began service in 1981. In 2004, it was refitted with a second vehicle deck, and in 2005 it was refitted with safety equipment to meet the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea.
This upgrade allowed the MV Chelan to make international trips on the Anacortes–San Juan Islands–Sidney, British Columbia route. The Chelan is currently the only vessel in the Washington State Ferries (WSF) fleet that meets the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) standards. Thus making it the only ship that can make the international crossing to Sidney, British Columbia.

The Lime Kiln Light is a functioning navigational aid located on Lime Kiln Point overlooking Dead Man’s Bay on the western side of San Juan Island, San Juan County, Washington, in the United States. The Lime Kiln Light was established in 1914 when acetylene lights were placed on Lime Kiln Point.
The lighthouse at Lime Kiln Point was one of the last major navigational aids to be constructed on the shores of the Salish Sea. Architect Carl Leick was engaged to design the lighthouse, keepers’ quarters and fog signal building. Leick’s design motto was “Build ‘em stout, and make ‘em last.” The buildings were all built with reinforced concrete, an early use of that building technique. The light was commissioned on June 30, 1919.
Due to the difficulty of supplying electricity to the site through the rugged terrain of the west side of San Juan Island, Lime Kiln Lighthouse continued using IOV lamps long after other locations had switched to electricity. The lamps were replaced with electric lights after World War II. The operation of the light was automated in 1962. The Lime Kiln Point Lighthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
