"Fiery" My mood today ... red is often a difficult color to shoot but I love the challenge as it can result in a sometimes dramatic and vibrant image.

Enchanted ... with color. There's something about color that is so evocative and makes me feel so passionate about this earth we call home. Earth Day is right around the corner, and so I think about this beautiful planet and its great beauty - a treasure I hold dear. 🩷💜💙

I enjoy shooting orchids with their beautifully varied shapes and vivid colors. When I want to get really creative, editing with a Georgia O"Keefe painterly look adds a whole new dimension of working with these gorgeous blooms.

"Divergent Path" Cais Palafitico da Carrasqueira, Portugal A unique fishing village in Portugal situated the Sado River. Wooden jetties are scattered throughout the muddy marshland on stilts, surrounded by brightly painted fishing huts. A stormy, moody sky was the background for this image.
Two piers branching off into two opposite directions leading into the deep blue sea. Fishing boats scattered around with a darkened sky at the horizon.

Wait. What if it's not lockdowns from 5 years ago and a lack of infections causing "immunity debt", but actually repeated infection with a virus with known immunological, cardiovascular, neurological, and many other effects?!?
Can you solve it? Connect the dots to reveal the answer! (It's obviously COVID and there are only two dots.)

The additional strain on top of the social care problem is caused by #COVID. COVID is causing a continuous cycle of health problems and immune problems leaving many open to more infections. We urgently need #CleanAir & masks in healthcare. It’s unsurprising as we are still in an official Pandemic. 🧵

"Life of the Red Maple" "I long to be in Japan in Autumn. Cherry blossoms, pretty+ frothy as schoolgirls' giggles, the face the country likes to present to the world, all pink/white eroticism but it's the reddening of Maple trees under a blaze of ceramic blue skies that's the place's secret heart."
