A lot like Legos in that regard...I hate Sweetgum trees. Our previous house had several in the back yard. They are not nice to bare feet.
Lego brick under barefoot, then you know!
I think gum trees are pretty. How many people walk barefoot these days anyway? We had several at the house I grew up in. Usually I had to go pick the gum balls up once a year, but I think the leaf shape is really lovely. There was one right outside my bedroom window.

You have to be from Jersey to understand the joke. By law, you can’t pump your own gas and service your own vehicle in the station. It saves the attendants jobs.I'd be even more impressed if the pilot was at 40,000 feet!

🌉 No Limits, No Boundaries 🌉Believe it or not, I cried last night.. I cried a lot.. After months of planning and encountering vivid dreams 💭. Finally, booked my trip to the San Francisco - SF, Bay Area. Yes, I'm going to my dreamland. Landmark, I will forever 🖤 Love... This time I will touch the sky and make my wish turn into a pure reality…
After an intensive amount of research, I have found a perfect hidden spot to spend a full open night by the iconic 🌉 Golden Gate Bridge. Yes, I’m going to be sleeping by the Golden Gate Bridge. By the time I wake up and open my 🫣 eyes the first thing and the only thing I want to see the is the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge will either take my soul or make my dreams turn into a reality. My soul and spirit will be elevated, my feet won't touch the ground. They will touch the sky with having no limitations and no boundaries.
Call me crazy, call me psycho, call me a total lunatic, or is it a total obsession... no one can stop me 🌉🏃🏼♀️. My true love and emotions for the Golden Gate Bridge runs very deep, down to its roots. It runs in my DNA 🧬. I don’t care if it’s cold, foggy, loud, scary, frightening, terrifying, lonely, death-defying ☠️ or if I get sick due to the weather 🌫 none of that matters... Unstoppable and untouchable, Yes, however, I will be living my dream. I’m chasing my dream. Therefore, I shall be there soon. 🔥🚀

Shot was taken directly looking up at the Golden Gate Bridge for hours continuously in a ⭕️ circular motion. Lots of emotion, love, sweat, 🩸 blood, 🥲 tears… and overall feelings were left behind and buried. It is truly impeccable yet incredible. Leaving myself speechless! I believe that is something that can only be felt in heaven 🕊️.

@PhilBoogie Thank you! Bridging the world... Bringing mankind together is perfectly said. 👏. It truly is a stunning bridge 🌉 and I hope everyone gets to see it in their lifetime. I'm very sorry, I wish I could tell you where I'll be at. But I can't disclose where exactly I'll be spending the night by the bridge but it is not the Battery Spencer. It gets too crowded there and it's a hot touristy spot. I want no distractions between me and the Golden Gate Bridge. I want to feel connected. A whole different mindset. I will say it's not going to be some fancy hotel. It'll be outside in the open wilderness. I will have the perfect view. I will be wearing a camouflage dress so I can't be seen too easily. Think of Man v/s Wild TV show. Hope this answers your question
@Allyance Ahh, you are so lucky and blessed. You got to see both sides of the world. Much of my appreciation comes from growing up very poor and in a third-world country where the government was corrupted. Sadly, it still is. Extremely limited on resources.
By the way, I was just in New York City in September. NYC had so much to offer. Growing up in Las Vegas is different but New York was a total beast. It kicked my butt. I was very overwhelmed. Unfortunately, due to a schedule conflict, I was only there for 72 hours. Believe it or not, within 72 hours I covered well over 15 well-known spots. Ellis Island and Empire State were on the top 5 visiting spot right away. Empire State Building is my favorite building. so iconic! My gosh! So much history, it was breathtaking. It felt like I was living the dream. Honestly, I was racing against the time. On the last day, I was so mad at myself because I didn't wanted to leave it was such a short trip, On top of that, I had almost missed my train to New Jersey to catch the flight. It seemed like it was a blur and someone had taken something away from me suddenly. 😢 It's all good, I do plan to go back to NYC next year and this time I will stay a little longer and will be able to breathe. Hopefully, I'm not going to be racing against the time.
You are welcome to check out the post below I posted last month.
@Matsamoto Thank you for your comment! Poured my uncut raw feeling and emotions out. A whole different mindset that can't be explained by words. I'm on a mission. Unstoppable! 😈
@VampyricGentleman Thank you! I appreciate you.

💙 Impossible, 🔝 Unattainable, ⚠️ Caution.
Symbolizes something that is impossible to achieve, something that is unattainable that will only remain a dream that can be realized.
A hope for a miracle to happen.

I have added your photo to my album "exceptionally intense images". There are few pictures from interesting moments of my life (Jordan, USA (our bridge), South Africa and other exclusive sites).

Pardon that question on your whereabouts; that was uncalled for, and you are sensible to not disclose that, even without knowing when you have your sleep-over
. Just make sure you bring a loved one with you - to share the moment and for safety. (and don't disclose if you actually will be doing that 😉)As for NYC...my first visit was just for dinner(!) I was working in PA, and a colleague told me NY was a 2 hour drive. I said 'let's have dinner over there!' I was overwhelmed as well, and after a month I went on a 5 week holiday with a friend. Spent 3 weeks in the city, and went back a couple of times. My friend visits yearly. I just want to see the west coast as well.
Choices choices.
Stay well, stay safe. Oh, and what a stunning picture you've posted here ^^

Just a memory from the fall and a shot taken in Athens in September.
You can't go to golf country and not take at least one or two photos of a golf course.
