Hi everyone! Does video count for participation in today’s #BlueSkyArtShow ? The theme is #Water and I can’t think of any place with water better than this! Hope the video loads okay without too much compression. From our anniversary trip in June. #hawaii #maui #travel #artist #ocean

We’ve had a little family of Grosbeaks at our feeders this summer. It’s been fun to watch the fledglings with mom and dad. They make the most interesting whistling sound. Soon they will leave to head to Mexico. I’ll miss them. First video is dad feeding a fledgling, and the second is mom. Sound up!

Favorite things: lone trees amongst the glowing red rock at sunrise in Bryce Canyon National Park. See ALT text for more. Hello everyone! Been a while 😊 #BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings #ArtAdventCalendar #art #artist #nationalparks #bryce #hiking #nature #naturephotography

I’m enamored with these single trees dotted throughout the landscape in Bryce. Early mornings are the best here, when the sun makes the sandstone glow with a deep orange/red color in contrast to the green conifers. I love the textures and patterns in the rock as well.

I loved painting this #autumn scene, inspired by a visit to Saint Mary's College of California. A watercolor for the #BlueSkyArtShow. 🍂 Original available at Moraga Art Gallery in the #BayArea. 🎨 moragaartgallery.com #art #watercolor #nature #landscape #November

Watercolor painting of fall colored trees. Vibrant colored leaves on the trees, some leaves on the wet ground.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Light illuminates the bright yellow aspens and green conifers while fog and clouds engulf the snowy mountain above.

Today’s theme for #BlueskyArtShow is #Relax, and that’s just what I’m doing. Heavy rain here today with snow in the mountains so I’m home enjoying coffee with my love, listening to music. Perfect- like the light hitting this mountain. #nature #photography #art #eastcoastkin #travel #photography

Beautiful early evening light illuminates the fall foliage on a mountainside in Utah.

I’m sharing photos again after very sporadic posts over the last few months. I didn’t see the point, but now I have a renewed desire to share art, at least for now. It doesn’t mean I’m ignoring what’s happening in this country. It saddens and angers me daily.

Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good. “To Come Home To Yourself”

To Come Home To Yourself

May all that is unforgiven in you
Be released.

May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.

May all that is unlived in you
Blossom into a future
Graced with love.

I used my 400mm lens to isolate this colorful scene as the beautiful light was hitting the mountain. I love the mix of maples, aspens, and understory. Happy tree Thursday everyone! Is that a thing? 🤷🏻‍♀️ #trees #autumn #art #travel #mountains #eastcoastkin #fallvibes #naturephotography #nature

Bright green aspen trees are the focus of this scene, surrounded by colorful orange and red maple trees.

Jane Goodall was the reason I studied zoology. A trailblazer for women in science, she made me believe that I could be a scientist too! She changed the way people thought about chimpanzees (and all animals) with her groundbreaking research in Gombe. 1/2 #JaneGoodall

Sound up! Bringing joy to a sad world with my bird cam and this scrub jay. He didn’t find anything he liked though, and he let us know about it! Guess I need to get some peanuts for my ground feeder. #birds #backyardbirds #nature #birdfeeding #birdfy

Maples and aspens rarely peak together here, but that’s okay. I like the aspens when they are bright green! Great contrast with the red maples in peak color. #mountainmonday #nature #art #eastcoastkin #travel #autumn #naturephotography #trees #firstdayoffall #photography #botany

Bright red maple trees surround tall aspen trees with white trunks and bright green leaves. They will turn yellow later in fall.

Colorful maples and aspen trees mixed with conifers at sunrise. There is a road running through the top of the scene, and a mountain in the background.

Hey strangers! Been a while. I got back from a fabulous trip to San Francisco last week and I’ve been sick with Covid this week! It’s been miserable, but I’m on the mend. Here are some iPhone snaps of Oracle Park for the #scape theme today. We had so much fun at the game 😊 #sanfransisco #giants

A view of the field at Oracle Park. Home of the San Francisco Giants.

Great view of the bay from these seats in Oracle Park.

My interpretation of today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Smooth An abstract image I made several years ago at blue hour in Grand Teton National Park. It was bone-chilling cold with wind and blowing snow. #photography #art #travel #nature #abstractart #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #ICM

I made this abstract in the blue hour on a bitterly cold January evening in Grand Teton National Park. Those white streaks are blowing snow, and the dark shadow at the bottom are the mountains. There’s a hint of orange left over from sunset. I really like how this turned out, and it’s always been a favorite image.

This lovely damselfly landed on this bright green foliage while I was wandering around in Grand Teton National Park with my camera and macro lens. Quiet moments in nature are what I seek 💙💚 #MacroMonday #macrophotography #photography #nature #art #travel #naturephotography #ArtYear #EastCoastKin

A damselfly on bright green foliage in Grand Teton National Park. The damselfly has a slender, metallic blue and green body with large, brown eyes. I believe it is in the family Lestidae.
