#Leaf Peeping in Goat Island Greenway

Terri, host of Sunday Stills has challenged us to show our #Leaf colours. In our area are #Leaves have slowing been displaying their Autumnal colour schemes. Sunday we had a beautiful Sun Shiny day with a high in the low 70’s°, unlike the past couple of days with highs only in the upper 40’s° and freeze warnings.

With a rare warm sunny day Coleman and I meandered down to Goat Island Park and Greenway for a hike along the River Link Greenway to check out the amazingly gorgeous Autumn colours vibrantly painted throughout the trail.

Here are a selection of images from our hike #Leaf Peeping through the Greenway …

Hope y’all enjoy the video clip of our #Leaf Peeping through the Greenway.

2025 Which Way Challenge (CWWC): Any Which Way in Black and White

This Friday’s Which Way Challenge we will be continuing with Any Which Way in Black and White in memory of Cee and her Black and White Challenge (CBWC).

In Memory of
Cee’s Black & White Challenge

I have selected to post Black & White shots of Bridges in memory of Cee’s love of Bridges.

Coleman and I had such a lovely time together walking through the trails in Goat Island Park and Greenway on Sunday …

… I just had to share a little bit of our hike with y’all.

This is the first Bridge you cross when you enter Goat Island. Coleman is waiting for me to catch up …

Continuing on the Bridge, we see some amazing #Shadows ( I know this is not squared).

Here we’ve come to the second Bridge one crosses leading to the Dog Park.

And Finally, here is the third Bridge

From here it is just a little bit further to the end of the trail where there are benches you can relax and rest up for the hike back to the entrance of Goat Island Park and Greenway where our adventures began.

Emergency Exit

Plus Pull Up a Seat

The other week we had a rare occasion to eat out. Normally, I do all the cooking at home, but on this day after my daughter’s and grandson’s doctors appointments we decided to stop for a bite to eat before going home.

Emergency Exit Only
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant

We were all hungry (Coleman tends to be hungry all the time right now). We decided to stop at Olive Garden, a rare treat for us.

Trisha Pulled Up a Seat
by the Emergency Exit Doors

Trisha (my daughter & Coleman’s mom) doesn’t like her pictures taken as you might can tell from her facial expression.

Coleman

Sometimes Coleman loves his picture being taken and at other times not. He does love looking at himself in pictures though.

2025 Monday Portrait: 10 November

Equus

Equus is a genus of mammals that includes Horses, Donkeys, Asses, and Zebras.

These Jackasses were introduced to us by our former landlord. He brought to a portion of his land adjacent to our rental property to raise with the assistance of his daughters.

A Jackass is an adult male donkey, females are called Jenny. Jacks or Jackasses (male donkeys) are often mated with female horses to produce mules. At one time the more common term for the donkey was Ass.

From the 18th century, donkey gradually replaced ass and jenny replaced she-ass, which is now considered archaic.

2025 Which Way Challenge (CWWC): Any Which Way in Black & White in Remembrance of Cee

This week I’m doing something a little different. I am joining Dan with No Facilities and Marsha from the alwayswrite.blog in posting black and white photos (may include flowers) in memory of Cee Neuner. Cee hosted several challenges over her blogging career and as many know we lost a good friend and mentor earlier this year in March. Cee is missed tremendously, she is in our hearts, our thoughts, and her legacy lives on.

Dan Antion is continuing her Fun Foto Challenge and I’m continuing her Which Way Challenge. We are celebrating her birthday with black and white photos, with our memories, with flowers to remember Cee. I will continue the Which Way Challenge with the Any Which Way in Black and White for two (2) weeks to give anyone who wishes to join us in remembering Cee to participate.

For this Friday, November 7th I am posting One Day/One Photo in memory of Cee.

A collage for Cee

The Black and White photos for the Which Way Challenge can be Any Which Way, but remember Cee loved bridges and old barns. As you might recall Cee loved photographing Flowers so you may include flowers in your which ways or anywhere in your posts.

Friend and Legacy Blogger

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).

2025 Festival of Leaves #6/Sunday Trees #610

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.

Platanus occidentalis

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.

Brian from Bushboys World hosts a monthly challenge called Last On the CardHis rules are simple to follow if you’re interested in participating. 

Here are The rules:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 30th or whenever your last photo was taken.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Use the tags The Last Photo and #LastOnTheCard
