Fuzzy face and feathery antennae of a male Polyphemus Moth (Anthera polyphemus), with a smaller unidentifed moth in front of him. These large silkmoths live short lives, maybe two weeks at est, as they have no mouthparts for feeding. Their only purpose as adults is to procreate.

Happy Solstice 2026. Photo courtesy of The Camping and Caravanning Club.

Stonehenge, Solstice 2026.
Happy summer solstice to one and all. The ancient solar time capsule, slowly arcs across the sky. Neither man nor beast can control the tides of the cosmos.
Make each moment count, this body slips away day by day to its inevitable return to the great mystery.
May your heart be like a wild forest, a home for every kind of strange creature to call home.
May your mind be as vast as the wide open sky, letting the clouds of thoughts pass by.
May your tongue only speak delicious kind words that ride on the frothing ocean waves of beauty.
May your body be a temple of sweet prayers and ecstatic love songs for every god and goddess that lives inside you.
Long life, honey in the heart!

Five o'clock makes for a very early #Morning but worth it to be among the first ones in the US to greet the sun along the Maine coast. It's up and at our backs on the way back to town for breakfast. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #shadows

Two elongated shadows of my husband and myself along a path from the seaside at 5 AM, shortly after sunrise along the Maine coast in autumn. The low angle of the light as we face away from the sun caused the shadow length.

A #Round wreath of Haitian steel drum art, cut out of a drum which would otherwise end up as waste. It gets hammered out, embossed and engraved, cleaned and polished while preserving the rich brown color of oxidization. It has been hanging by our front door for many years. #BlueSkyArtShow

This is Haitian steel drum art, a beautiful way to reuse an otherwise discarded item. It features a wreath of leaves encircling branches in the shape of a peace sign. In each side section are two birds, presumably doves, characterizing the symbol for peace. It hangs by our front door.

The snowstorm has almost passed, but not without some damage to the trees lining our little dirt road. We have at least four trees down and roughly a foot of snow. I'm amazed and relieved we still have power. SNJ, 02.23.26.

Image of a small road encased in snow with trees bending and broken, laying across it in spots. In the very center, a man is walking down the road, assessing the snowy situation. This is not taken in black-and-white; it just seems that way as it was still snowing with limited distance visibility.

Image features two Harlequin Ducks, so named for their brightly-colored plumage in patches of stark white, soft blue-gray, black wingtips with vivid cinnamon flanks. Their heads show all four colors. They are standing on a large jetty rock covered with green, lawn-like seaweed.

For this week's theme of #Vibrant, I chose a photo from our backyard. This is a male Scarlet Tanager, a neotropical migrant that breeds in a large swath of North America. The wings, tail and eye are jet black and the body of the male is a vivid scarlet. Females are greenish-yellow with dark wings and tail.

ICE is not legitimate federal law enforcement, they do not target criminals. They are the paramilitary wing of a fascist movement that seeks to intimidate minorities and anybody who doesn’t fit into their image of “American”. They are Nazi-adjacent and should be regarded as such.

Just about any #Holiday one can think of involves special foods, symbolic of that particular celebration. A Buche de Noel is a special treat and is a multi-day project. This was my first attempt at making one. #BlueSkyArtShow

A buche de noel is a special cake, made in the likeness of a fallen log, often festooned with marzipan (almond paste) decorations, in this case mushrooms, holly leaves and berries, pine needles and cones. This one is a chocolate sponge cake, rolled around mocha filling and iced in dark chocolate buttercream.

Cioppino is the closest I get to the "7 Fishes" Xmas Eve supper. This one has calamari, mussels, clams, cod, shrimp, shredded "crab" and lobster claws. Happy Holidays! 🍽️

In a large, white, round pasta dish is my seafood cioppino. The base is basically a marinara, with a half-cup of white wine and 2 cups of seafood stock added, then reduced for about a half-hour before adding the various shellfish and fish. Once the mussels open, the rest is added and simmered until *just* cooked, about 5-8 minutes more.

Working with molten glass is definitely #warm work! #BlueSkyArtShow #glassworking #WheatonArts More about this process in ALT.

This photo was taken by my S.O. at Wheaton Arts in Millville, NJ. They were in the beginning stages of creating a cornucopia in glass. This slug of glass was so heavy, it took a couple of workers to move it back and forth into the furnace and at one point, they almost lost it before saving it from contacting the floor at the last minute. It was truly amazing to watch the whole process. There were other teams working on all the little fruits to put into the mouth of the cornucopia, which made it increasingly heavy with each fruit applied.

A trio of #small but vigorous nestling Eastern Wood Pewees. Taken with a zoom lens from a good distance away, so as not to disturb them in any way. #BlueSkyArtShow

This little trio of nestling Eastern Wood Pewees with their bright yellow bills and gapes was taken in June 2020, located high up in the crotch of an oak tree branch in our SNJ yard. They are so young that their eyes are still closed, and wouldn't open for another few days. The nest was successful.
