Cee Neuner was a wonderful photographer who brought joy to many with her beautiful flowers and other images.
Sadly, Cee passed away earlier this year. Today would have been her 64th birthday. Dan Antion of No Facilities and Marsha Ingrao of Always Write share the November 7 birthday with Cee. Today they are hosting a 1 day photo challenge in her memory. Many thanks to them both.
Terri’s latest Sunday Stills challenge is Hooves and Claws in honor of National Bison Day which was celebrated on Saturday, November 1, 2025. She tells us that “this week’s Sunday Stills photo challenge is not just about bison, but about members of the animal kingdom that possess HOOVES and CLAWS.”
I decided to focus only on animals with hooves and mostly on bison and buffalo. Sadly, the hooves aren’t visible in all these images. The header image is of a small herd of American Bison at Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky.

Tina’s challenge is Epemeral. She tells us “the dictionary’s short and simple definition of the word ephemeral – “lasting for a very short time“.
There are so many things to be appreciated that only last a short time. I learned a long time ago that life is short and it is important to stop and enjoy the moment before it’s gone.
I decided to focus on flowers and critters in my garden from this year. Some things come and go so fast I miss them if I don’t pay attention. My header image is of a magnolia blossom on a tree right next to my driveway. I can see the tree from my kitchen window. I anxiously await the first bloom every spring. Each bloom only lasts a day or two before it fades away. I grabbed my camera as soon as I saw this bloom in early May.
The rest of the images are of other special moments from the garden this year.
A Daylily bloom only lasts one day
The lifespan of a Monarch Caterpillar is 10 to 14 days
I had to be fast to catch this Bee on a yellow flower

Sofia has challenged us to show anything that has been in existence for many years. This can include things that humans have created, natural landscapes, or whatever we think of that is ancient.
My featured image is of a Horseshoe Crab found on an Atlantic Ocean beach in Georgia. Horseshoe Crabs are living fossils that have been in existence since before there were dinosaurs.
The rest of my images feature things that were created by humans in ancient times
