That beautiful golden-hour glow on red rock. Love desert season! Hello friends. I’m not here very much anymore, but I hope you’re finding some joy in life during these trying times. #nature #utah #art #travel

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!

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.

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

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”

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

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

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

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

”No matter how dark it gets,” Jon Batiste told the crowd last night. “I know: We can win. We can win. We can win.”” Yes, we can. Let’s not lose sight of the good & motivated people in our country who remain committed to creativity, diversity, inclusion—& joy. www.americaamerica.news/p/america-wh...
