When You Gotta Go
When you gotta go, it’s good to have the option of a two-story outhouse. The historic outhouse below was standing at the Grand Encampment Museum in Wyoming. An average of 60-70 inches of snow falls in. this part of Wyoming each year. According to the museum, that amount of snow made the first level inaccessible through the winter months.
Two Wyoming landscapes were featured on “Wyoming Landscapes.”

Tiniest of Details in a Blossom
I came across the tiniest of details in a blossom at Whitcomb Conservatory in Belle Isle. What looks like a flower within a flower was spotted on the bloom of a yellow Crown of Thorns.
A row of red flowers from a Crown of Thorns was featured in “Nature Thrives Indoors.”

A Glimpse Into the Darkness
A glimpse into the darkness through an open door.
Another image of the window below, on the same wall as the door, was featured on “The Broken Window“. If you saw the original post of just the window a few days ago, does seeing the entire wall change your perception? Just wondering . . .

One Step at a Time #6
Time to share your photos on One Step at a Time #6 from wherever you have taken a step or two or more . This week I’ve got two more images from my week in Texas. I spotted these at Dogwood Canyon Audubon, located in the hills southwest of downtown Dallas.
Along the trail, there are several overlooks over the top of the trees. They are great places to take a break while enjoying the views. I recommend taking binoculars because there are definitely lots of birds around. Even though, some of the hike is uphill, it is not difficult. The trail zigzags quite a bit so it is never a hard climb but a hiking stick is helpful at times.
I appreciate the photos that have been shared over the past few week so much! It is fun seeing and learning about the places you’ve been. Can’t wait to see what is posted for this week. As always, take a moment to look at other’s posts shared last week, here are the links:
Terri shared some lovely flowers a few surprises.
Donna’s wonderful photos came straight from her own backyard.
Sue shared some beautiful yet creepy images of a Bald Cypress swamp
Linda watched a heron take some slippery steps on an icy creek.
Egidio’s beautiful images came from Twin Springs PreserveTo participate this week, just leave a link in the comment section below. More information about the challenge can also be found by clicking here.

Surprised by the Unexpected
Often in photography, I am surprised by the unexpected. For instance, realizing that a seed fell from a cluster of seedpods waving in the wind just as I clicked. On the second image, a bee landed on a blossom as I hit the shutter.
Another example of a revelation after the fact was featured in “Photobombed by a Bee.“

One Step at a Time #5
One Step at a Time #5 includes four more images of my steps while in Dallas, Texas. A peaceful stroll through the Texas Sculpture Garden continues from my earlier post, “The Clock Rider.” The first image was captured while roaming from sculpture to sculpture in the outdoors. I can’t pass up reflections without taking a picture, of course!
Below on the left is “The Headstand,” carved stone by sculptor Dominic Benhura. The blue businessman on the right, is named “Time Management,” by Zad Roumaya. He seems to be in a hurry, doesn’t he?
The final photo below, features “The Arbor” by Jim Cinquemane.
Last week’s participants are worth checking out if you haven’t.
Donna shared some beautiful landscapes and ground squirrels.
Linda had the cutest bunny post.
Egidio captured a series of spring blossoms.
