Dan, the host for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is asking us to share photos of Autumn or Spring — or Both. It may still be officially Autumn, however, lately our weather has been so cold and extremely windy that it feels more like winter. Therefore I rummaged through my archives to add to my few Autumn 🍂images that I hadn’t already used for one post or another.
God Bless. Have a fantastic week. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
Note: You might want to take a look at this Friday’s (Today’s) Which Way Challenge (CWWC) (another one of Cee’s challenges) to see the new ideas for the new theme of Any Which Way with a Holiday theme. — Part 1 which Will run for two (2) weeks.

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.
Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)
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.
This week John from Journeys with Johnbois 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.
Welcome back to another Which Way Challenge (CWWC). This week I have chosen Any type of Walkways or Pathways with Signsfor this week’s theme.

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.”

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.
This week Terriis challenging us to display images of Waterfalls and/or Fountains we have seen. In our area we do not have any really huge waterfalls, but I have managed to visit a few smallish ones and fountains around the Carolinas.

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.
Lime Kiln Lighthouse Lime Kiln Point State Park Friday Harbor, San Juan County, Washington, USA
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.

The Vallecito Stage Station in Julian, California was rebuilt and is a part of the Vallecito County Park operated by the San Diego County Parks. The Vallecito Stage Station was one of the Home Stations along The Butterfield Overland Mail route which carried mail from San Antonio, Texas to San Diego, California beginning in 1857. Passengers on the Stage Coaches ate a good meal once every twenty-four (24) hours at what were called “Home Stations.” Vallecito was one of the “Home Stations” that provided good meals to the Butterfield-Overland travelers from produce and meat supplied by farmers on Mt. Palomar.
Vallecito-Butterfield Stage Station
Vallecito has been preserved as a 71-acre county park built around a reconstruction of the historic Butterfield Stage Station. Vallecito has been a campsite for literally hundreds of years, beginning first with the native Kumeyaay Indians. This area is part of what is known as the Anza-Borego Desert.
When I was growing up my church youth group would come out here almost every year for camping and hiking. The campground area is primitive and you must bring in your own water supplies as wet as any other supplies you might need.
God Bless. Have a wonderful week. Enjoy the Outdoors. Have some fun. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
Dawn from The Day After hosts this week’s Monochrome Madness. She has chosen a theme of symmetry. Symmetry refers to an objects balance and harmonious proportions, having its parts similar corresponding to one another. The image below I think is my favourite symmetrical photo I have and even though I have others I’m saving them for another time.
Honestly, I would just like to show you some lovely Lanose creatures which can be seen at The Farm at The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina.
Do you like my Lanose?
My friends Lanose are different shades than mine.
Mine is lighter, more fluffier than theirs ↖️.
Bet you’d love to run your fingers through my Lanose.
You know what? I’m not gonna come close enough for you to even try. You may look 👀 all you want, but you’re not gonna touch.

This week Dan of No Facilities, the host for the Fun Foto Challenge has selected a unique theme. He had chosen to ask us to show images of our hobbies. This theme gives us a wide range of ideas about what we would like to post.
I have chosen to combine two of my hobbies for this challenge. The selections are using my Hobby of Photography with my Hobby of Hiking. All of my photos I’m including are of my Hiking with Coleman (I know you won’t see me, but I’m in every picture as I’m the photographer).

The Point Cabrillo Light Station is a California State Historic Park on the Mendocino coast in northern California. It is located between Point Arena and Cape Mendocino, just south of the community of Caspar.
Point Cabrillo Light
The Point Cabrillo Light Station features a fully restored lighthouse and its original Fresnel lens. It has been a federal aid to navigation since 1909. The grounds include restored keepers’ houses, a marine science exhibit, and vacation rentals.
Point Cabrillo Light Station A Collaborative Restoration Project Of: California State Coastal Conservancy California Department ofParks and Recreation Point Cabrillo Lightkeepers Association
Most of the original structures remain, but the barn is missing: in 1986 it was destroyed in a fire department exercise. The remaining lighthouse station is “one of the most complete light stations in the United States”.
The lighthouse was built to prevent shipwrecks in the area, a response to a clipper ship, the Frolic, that wrecked nearby in 1850. The effort to salvage goods from the wreck led to the discovery of the redwood forest. Construction on the lighthouse began in 1908, with its first illumination on June 10, 1909.
Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park
The park grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset. The Lighthouse museum, gift shop, and Marine Science Exhibit are open year-round from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. There is no fee to enter the park or tour the lighthouse museum. The main parking lot is a half-mile walk from the lighthouse, but there is accessible parking available closer to the buildings for vehicles with a disabled placard.

Rick Hubbard’s Great American Kid Show was the pre-show for Friday night’s Concert Series in Cramerton, North Carolina on August 15th.
Rick Hubbard has performed nationwide in country, rock, folk, and jazz bands. He’s performed across the USA as a stand-up comedian in clubs, colleges, and cruise ships. His family entertainment show, “The Kazoobie Kazoo Show” has appeared at festivals, events, theaters, and resorts, including Disney World, The Seattle International Children’s Festival, and The Kennedy Center. In this show every kid gets a chance to be on stage, and for the grand finale, everyone gets a free kazoo and joins Rick’s marching kazoo band. It’s Kazoobie!

Rick plays two guitars, a banjo, and a kazoo not all at the same time, but sometimes more than one at once. He is a talented entertainer who interacts effortlessly with his audience involving them in his show.

Looking back to a trip my daughter and I took to visit (meet in person) cousins from my mother’s side of the family in Coshocton, Ohio.
Memorial Garden Roscoe Village Coshocton, Ohio
There is an area in Coshocton known as the Historic Roscoe Village. The Historic Roscoe Village is an 1830 Restored Canal Town. Roscoe Village began as a small port town in 1816 after a bankrupt merchant bet that rural farmers would rather do business there than have to shell out 25 cents for the ferryboat to Coshocton.
Today, the restored Roscoe Village stands as a testament to Ohio’s bygone Canal era.
My daughter relaxing on a Welcoming Garden Bench
The Frances Montgomery Memorial Garden is one of nine gardens in Roscoe Village and is located near the Visitors’s Center. This Garden is dedicated to honor Mrs. Frances Montgomery and her passion for gardening. The Gardens are planted throughout this restored 1800’s canal town.
The flower beds were created in the early 1970’s by Frances Montgomery out of her love for gardening. Many of the gardens have historical significance and assist in the education mission of Roscoe Village.
