White can be found all around us if we take the time to look around, especially so during winter.
First, let’s have a look at White in the museum.
Now, for a look around The Farm.
I’m sure y’all will be displaying many fascinating White photos which I’ll be looking forward to observing.

Walking along the Schiele Museum’s Natural Trail we strolled along the pathway heading towards the Grist Mill …
Paying attention to the various angles on the different objects surrounding the Grist Mill …
Noticing the angles of the steps leading down to the water stream…
And for the first time we spotted the bird feeder … the angles on the shelf, the roof, and the angles formed by the trees.

Yesterday, October 11, I thought I was going to take photos with my Canon, however, that was not possible. Why? I goofed and forgot to change out the battery for a fully charged one and somehow the camera got put away in the on position. Therefore, the battery was dead and I was unable to use my Canon for my photography. Lesson learned, always check battery before leaving the house.
Luckily I always have my iPhone on me and sometimes use both while out and about around town or on a hiking trail. Instead of just using the normal mode I switched the iPhone settings to monochrome and proceeded to snap shots at the Schiele Museum’s Block Party, Dinosaur Theatre, And The Farm.

For this Cee’s CMMC this week I thought I would show you some of the Plum (purple) Coleman and I have seen this week on our hiking adventures at The Schiele Museum of Natural History and along trails at the Warlick Family YMCA. They range from purple colored wood on the maze to purple canoes and plenty of purplish flowers. Hope y’all will enjoy the slideshow.

We have been active this week more than other times recently. We’ve made several visits to The Pond at the Schiele Museum and today we did a double excursion and visited the Warlick YMCA as well.
The first three are of water reflections in The Pond while the last two are of Robinwood Lake at the Y.

As Coleman and I were wandering through the Nature trail at the Schiele Museum; we featured Up the stairs and around the path downward until he ran off and into the Playscape sand pit. He brought along his friend Mr. Blue.
Coleman met Mr. Blue at the doctor’s office. He helped him adjust to receiving two shots. He was comforted by him and decided he did not want to leave him behind when we arrived at the museum.
Therefore, Mr. Blue tagged along by his Side any which way and everywhere he happened to go. Mr. Blue hadn’t realised he would be cast aside for Dinosaurs 🦕🦖🦕 Coleman discovered hiding in the sand.
Please do not look down on Mr. Blue for being disappointed. I’ll have you know he was not forgotten. When it was time to go back Up the trail to go home, Coleman made sure he gathered Up his new friend when he was packing his belongings into his backpack.

Coleman and I walked around the Pond at The Schiele Museum of Natural History’s Nature Trail on Saturday after participating in the Dinosaur Day’s activities. I was fascinated by the turtles in the Pond while Coleman moved onto the Playscape area to have some FunTime in the sand. I stood there for a few minutes watching the turtle move (his/her) head & tail around to catch better rays of sunshine.

Coleman brings joy and sunshine to my soul. It brightens my day to see him smile and express himself in amazing ways.
Coleman does not get to have special treats like ice cream or popsicles on a normal basis when we are out at the museum or other places. He is lactose intolerant and cannot have any dairy or soy products. So on this rare occasion when I found out the ice cream vendor outside the museum had dairy free popsicles; I gave in and bought him one.
The joy I saw on his face as he was eating the strawberry mango popsicle brought a smile to my face and sunshine to my soul.

Blue dashers live near still, calm bodies of water, such as ponds, marshes, slow-moving waterways, and ditches, in warm areas typically at low elevations. The adults roost in trees at night.
The blue dasher hunts by keeping still and waiting for suitable prey to come within range. When it does, they dart from their position to catch it.
