"My Alive and Thriving Friday"!

Hello friends!
Happy #aliveandthriving Saturday evening to you!
✨🙋🏻‍♀️✨
And, Thank You so much for your visit!

On Friday I got around a little on the bike and took a few photos I would like to share with you this evening.
So...
First, at the old house the "Sweet Basil" is budding like crazy! I took a few photos to share.
This is a large bud, it is starting to hang from the weight,

And these are some buds just getting started!

I also took a few Sky photos because the Clouds were looking a bit dramatic,

It must be due to some high level winds! Here is a look a little more to the West,

Then I went home for awhile and before it got dark I wanted to take a bike ride over to the Park and see how the tides were doing - basically to see if the Shoreline had recovered any.
This is a look South down the Shoreline and it has not - it even looks like the tides are lower,

This is a look across the Channel. The tides are so low I can see a block of Cement beyond the third pole I never saw before,

And a View towards the Breeding Pond. As you can see, it is surrounded by Sand that is normally underwater,

Well nothing had changed for the better! To make matters worse... Our humidity here is 29°, with no rain in sight - maybe Wednesday, so... We are also under a "Fire Watch"!

So I rode home. When I got there this is the Sun going down in the West from the driveway,

And that was the end of my #aliveandthriving Friday!
I want to thank you again for your visit and I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe New-Week!
