A grand waterfall in Yellowstone National Park. Beuty to be preserved for our children, for humanity. #photography, #EastCoastKin, #WaterfallWednesday, #nature, #preservation

#Stunday July memory. First time spotting a flower crab spider. Usually #spiders spook me but this was positively cute. #photography, #natire, #EastCoastKin, #daisy, #flowers, #wildflowers

Two daisies. The closest one has a visitor, a cram spider, which is white with light pink panels on his back and golden limbs. Stunningly cheerful for one of his kind. A Barbie spider?

Also for #PalaceRunway… A buckeye fashionista on a clothing store window. #PalacesAndGardens, #photography, #EastCoastKin

A buckeye butterfly landed on this retailer’s window. In truth, it looked injured (wing). Yet its beauty was undeniable and so unusual in its juxtaposition to human merchandise.

Working overnight on its precious fabric. This #spider was huge, btw…so much so that while my husband took this picture I was as able to make a movie from our second floor window! #photography, #PalacesandGardens, #PalaceRunway, #summer, #nature, #EastCoastKin

Cefalu’s beach. Memories of an Italian #summer of the past. If you go, make sure you get an almond granita! #BlueSkyArtShow, #photography, #Sicily, #travel, #vacation, #beach, #EastCoastKin

Another lunar #scape. Link... Link... Be on your guard. Ganon's power grows... it rises to its peak under the hour of the blood moon. By its glow, the aimless spirits of monsters slain in the name of the light return to flesh. Link... please be careful! #photograhy, #EastCoastKin, #moon

Lunar #scape. Is it an omen? Babylonians thought ii signaled kings should take cover. Aristotle had a more scientific outlook on this… #photography, #space, #moon,#eclipse

Late afternoon on Lake Hamana, #Japan. The lake became connected to the sea in 1498 after a catastrophic earthquake. Salty and sweet waters merge to create an excellent environment to grow eels…yum! #photography, #RockinTuesday, #BlueTue, #ColorADay, #travel, #EastCoastKin

Lake waters with mountains and hills rising at the horizon. A Ferris wheel on the left.

Canyonland National Park (Dead Horse Point) 2006. Very earthy and unearthly at the same time. My favorite part is that you do see the curvature of the horizon, the profile of our beautiful planet. #photography, #BlueSkyArtShow, #earth, #scape, #nature, #travel

A Canton branches out toward the horizon in a desertic landscape with deep orange tones. The sky is blue with light clouds and contrasts beautifully with the arid environment below it.

@rina2012.bsky.social Hi Rina, I have been submitting photos to #EastCoastKin and #scape for a while…but only now I realized that I was supposed to message you to join the collective! So sorry about that! Would you have me, please? Have a great weekend (hopefully not as rainy as in Chicago!)

Whale shark and friends at the #OsakaAquarium. It’s incredible to watch them slowly swim in their gigantic tank. The aquarium is the most beautiful I have ever visited. This display takes your breath away. #big, #BlueSkyArtShow, #photography, #shark, #marinelife, #Japan

Athena, goddess of justice and wisdom (and war). She appears distracted…which explains a lot. Turn around, lady! Maybe the owl is paying attention… Art by me (alcohol markers, ink, colored pencils). #art, #traditionalart, #mixedmedia, #paper, #painting
