Ok, the first picture has pointy feet, but no shoes.

This one is just pointy. No feet. No shoes.

VERY pointy feet. No shoes.

Colorful socks and shoes, but not pointy.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: pointy shoes.

I took this with the zoom all the way out. We’d argued about whether it was a log. I said it was not a log. I was correct.
This creature is definitely bouyant but is not floating in the picture. He or she is lying on a high sandbar or piece of rock. There wasn’t room with the others, or perhaps he or she eschews the crowd.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bouyant.
I fail to identify this plant. I think the flowers are past their peak, but it’s still a wonderful plant. This is from Hurricane Hill again, in the Olympic Peninsula.

So vaping is smoking. It can be called vaping, but that is to trick us into thinking that it is not smoking, that we are not sucking chemicals into our delicate lung tissue. We only have one set of lungs. Lungs are like a tree, either the roots or the leaf parts upside down. Air is drawn in by our muscles expanding the chest and diaphragm, down the trachea, the bronchi, the bronchioles and at last to the alveoli, where tiny veins wrap each alveoli, trading carbon dioxide for oxygen.
I think of smoking as every cigarrette distroying an alveolus.
Vaping too, vaping is smoking. The nicotine is suspended in a solution and the vaporizer heats up until it is in vapor form. I started reading about vaporizers at least a decade ago. There were over 500 different types, mostly made in China, and there are all sorts of solutions. I was horrified to read that ethylene glycol was one of the solutions that held nicotine. When a dog drinks antifreeze, ethylene glycol, it is poisonous to the brain. Does anyone think that we should inhale smoke with antifreeze and nicotine in it? Really?
There is no control of what is put in the solutions. We don’t know what they will do long term but we know that nicotine is addictive and damages the lungs. Some of the vaporizers get so hot that the metal is also vaporized. Heavy metals are clearly bad for the lungs and poisonous as well.
Here is an article from the U of Colorado Medical Center with further reasons NEVER to start vaping. Because vaping is smoking: don’t let the term fool YOU. 4 reasons why you should stop vaping.
For the RDP: vapor.

Most of the time I am fine (I miss you I miss you I miss you).
I am busy during the day (You said I needed my own life).
What shut you down, I wonder (the family event).
You said I always try to learn daily (you say you refuse to change).
I have friends that love me and my kids (you say you do not love me).
I don’t think I know what love is (your actions felt like love sometimes).
Mostly I don’t think about you (sometimes it is very dark).
I hope that you are well (I wish I wanted you to be happy without me).
I am patching my heart again (for you I use elk sinew).
The deer remind me (life goes on, even when one doesn’t want it to).
A previous poem, when my sister died: The deer remind me.
I took this from a window. This local meanders in town through streets and yards. I suspect he’s been jumping my back fence and helping himself to roses. The apple trees are shared and he helps trim the lower branches.
I did creep up to the driveway to get a close shot, but I was careful. I did not want to disturb him.
For the RDP: meander.
