Emerald Isle, not exactly sunrise, four minutes later, but still.
They blend right in.
Tis the season to enjoy fried dough with sugar, lots of sugar, and pumpkin spice while hiding from my wife.
Looks like it’s Boogen season.

A sign of the times at the downtown arts festival.
Too far for a decent photo (AI “enhanced”), but plenty of time to do off-ramp math: 5 minutes per red light, one scruffy cuteness, 3 handouts. I figure $60 to $120 an hour easy. The unseen dude holding the leash has cracked the code on supplication.

A couple of Bambis and their moms came through the back today, had to shoo them away from the dogwood I planted last year. Like cute locusts on four legs, deer have denuded a newly planted bush in the front yard and devoured most of the flowers. Still adorable, though.

Monkey grass, lilyturf, whatever, it’s endemic in yards in the South. Those at the top I dug out of the front yard and tossed on the hill where a previous owner dumped poison to kill some evergreen groundcover. They are unkillable. These ugly plants have one job: stop erosion.
Not an insta filter, but the view from inside out front every morning in the humid subtropical edging towards tropical rainforest climate around Raliegh, North Carolina. While the area is not really prepared for a future of flooding, on the plus side no fear of a Zero Day water crisis.
