I found this yesterday below the large Tupelo tree in my yard. It's light as a feather, yet look at the dense growth rings! It's about 10 inches long and 3 inches wide, likely longer before it broke off. This limb grew for many, many years! It provided a perch for all kinds of birds and small mammals, and lived through all the extremes of the four seasons. At some point it stopped growing and likely still remained on the tree for years until it was knocked off by a heavier branch recently during a storm. It had many, many Better Days prior to being broken off. But its Better Days continue in a new way: as a multi-ringed document of a long and helpful part of the old Tupelo tree.

My preference is none of the above. I would call it Witch's Hat.

After a rainy day in Newfoundland's Gros Morne a couple of years ago, we drove North to explore some of the coastal fishing villages. Many of these places have seen better days but the character remains and the people still making a living there were wonderfully friendly. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

It looks as though the left side has won the vote! (If your not sure what i'm talking about, see my last picture).

 

So here it is with a few of the changes suggested by fellow Flickrite Kane.

 

Oh and BTW...get ready for a barrage of boat pics over the next week (not the same boat though)...

 

For those that voted for the right side...I might still post the full picture soon :)

Sunday morning walk around Austin, TX.

An old barn in Aldergrove, has seen better days. Still a nice Spring scene. The Chestnut tree on the left is in full bloom. An old one for Fence Friday.

A small garden gnome my wife bought me a long time ago. It’s well weathered and has definitely seen better days.

Me trying the basic workings of the camera settings on my iPhone. So this was one of my many attempts at being creative. An old pair of trainers that's seen better days but I can't discard, I use these as slippers I brush the drive in them I use them daily.

 

Ellesmere Port. Cheshire. UK.

The old Wellington Pub, awaiting its fate.

I ’m sure that this is one of the better days

So we went for a walk and this is one of the many shots I took! The Colors...blew me away! (I did NO Editing at ALL!)

The cool, calm of the sea always makes you feel like better days are to come...

A sunny autumn day when all the colour has gone.

Seen better days but ready for the future

Oregon - The Hood River Fruit loop is located in the beautiful Hood River Valley at the foot of majestic Mt. Hood. The twenty-nine member stands offer you a variety of wines, fruits, vegetables, flowers, ciders, and food. While there are twenty-nine stands, they are not all open at the same times and dates. Many of the wineries are open all year. Most of the fruit stands open during harvest time, which changes every year. Cooler weather means that the fruit is harvested later, warmer weather makes for an earlier season. Specialty stands, such as blueberries, have a shorter season.

This particular haunting individual looks like he has lost all hope in life.

 

While taking the Big B touring bus out of Union Station in Washington DC I was able to capture images of downtrodden individuals on the streets of our capital.

So I have been to this manor house plenty of times but some how I feel this might be my last visit. It has changed hands and the new owner appears to be up to the challenge of doing something with it. Which is a very positive thing, I can't help but feel a tiny bit sad though.

I sent this pic. for my girlfriend to have betterday after my terrible homesession.

And you ask me what I want this year

And I try to make this kind and clear

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings

And designer love and empty things

Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

This is the photo that I took to use on my Christmas cards this year. I think I got a total of three of them made and sent. I have an artificial tree up and decorated, but decided I wanted the smell of Christmas, so got a small tree, that never got decorated ( I think it will become an outdoor Christmas tree that I will decorate with treats for the birds after the holidays.), never baked cookies and I am still wrapping gifts. But I've decided that I am just going to go with it and not get upset by it this year. It is what it is...

And I am expecting this new year that we are going into to be a year of changes... of good things.... afterall, my horoscope says it is so!! Better Days!!

 

So, I wish to all of my Flickr friends, the best that life has to offer. I thank you for your kindness and friendship and the way you make each and every one of my days a little bit better. Yes, and I wish to you... better days...the very best! Merry Christmas!

With love,

Torrie

  

FlickrFriday challenge: #BetterDays; The historic Wells River Graded School built in 1874 in the style of the French Second Empire with pronounced Victorian flourishes burned July 2022.

Wellington's Parliamentary precinct and surrounding streets have been besieged by protesters with tents and barricades for three weeks. The Police moved in and were finally able to clear the area and now the cleanup can begin in this much treasured part of the city.

Welcome to Desert Inn

...that our days shall improve.

Were the better days behind or are they ahead? This is the door that has let us into our home for many, many years. I kind of like it that it has aged along with us. I may restore it. Or not.
