#BlueskyArtShow #Water Capturing the abstract patterns of light with the water flow in the swimming pool.

Light patterns, both on the water surface and swimming pool bottom, from rippling clear water in the sunlight. The bottom of the pool is a greenish blue.

An orange and white cat laying on his cat bed in a beam of sunlight gazes out an open window. The tops of trees are visible through the window.

Pumpkin studies page!🧡✨ Gouache and a little bit of colored pencil in this one

Photo shows a sketchbook painting sitting on a wooden desk, surrounded by painting supplies such as paint tubes, brushes and a palette. The page shows paintings of pumpkins and gourds sitting in grass, and the color of the artwork is primary orange and green.

A Flying Visit A postcard from #Cornwall #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin

A seagull soars over a rocky coastline with waves crashing against the shore. The ocean stretches into the distance under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

For #vibrant, how about a bird of paradise? #BlueSkyArtShow

Drawing of a vibrantly colored bird of paradise bloom among large green leaves in front of a background that transitions from purple at the bottom to a dark orange at the bottom. The flower has bright orange and purple extravagant petals.

An old roadster that was part of a friend's street art installation exhibit. Just catching some rays in a dusty old warehouse. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Vibrant all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments. #photography #classiccars #paint

An old roadster painted to look like it has comic book shading. It also has some graffiti on it. It sits in the shadows in a warehouse with light from a high window spilling on its hood. The headlights are wrapped in green tape from the painting process.

Easily one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever witnessed. It made being awake that early worthwhile. 😄 #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #Nature #NaturePhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin #Sunrise #ArtYear #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #Seattle #SkyScape #SensoryArt #Glow

Sunrise as seen from Queen Anne hill in Seattle. Looking east to Capitol Hill, the sky is a mixture of orange, yellow, magenta, violet, and blue. The sky is reflected in Lake Union at the bottom left of the photo, and the partial skyline can be seen on the right of the photo. At the top left, an airplane can be seen making it's descent into SeaTac.

It's almost impossible to pick a favorite view from the #skagit valley #tulip farms, but this glorious kaleidoscope of #vibrant blooms ranks right up there for me. #blueskyartshow

Tulip blooms fill the frame in a glorious mix of orange and yellow, fuchsia, red, and purple, accented by the green leaves showing through among them.

Don’t you love it when you happen upon the right place at just the right time? That’s exactly what happened to me… the sun came out strong and beautiful just as I started crossing this bridge! #BlueSkyArtShow #shadows #lightandshadow #bridge #stripes #photography

The sun is shining on a bridge and casting blue diagonally striped shadows through its vertical reddish-brown metal railing onto the grayish-white concrete floor. As the bridge curves to the left, so do the striped shadows continue beyond the top edges of the image.

Of course the very best example of #LightAndShadow I have for #BlueSkyArtShow is the Brocken Spectre I experienced up at Bolafjall last year 🤩 #Iceland 🇮🇸 #WeekUforUp #scape #AlphabetChallenge #MobilePhotography 📷 #EastCoastKin

Glass balcony panel with metal railing cuts diagonally across the bottom of the picture. On the left is a rocky cliff, and to the right of it, in the mist that makes the rest of the scene, is the shadow of the OP surrounded by concentric rainbow halos

For today’s #LightAndShadow subject for the #BlueskyArtShow, this #infrared image is about family. Please see alt text for quote.

A young pine in the midst of larger pines, an infrared monochrome image.

'We have learned that mother trees recognize and talk with their kin, shaping future generations. In addition, injured trees pass their legacies on to their neighbors, affecting gene regulation, defense chemistry, and resilience in the forest community. When you know that trees experience pain and have memories and that tree parents live together with their children, then you can no longer just chop them down and disrupt their lives with larger machines."
