Another for this week's Bluesky Art Show, a look back at one of my favorite places to rest during the pandemic - but this time with a sunset.

#Inside the Balloon Museum in Austin Texas for this week's #BlueskyArtshow. An excellent and engaging art exhibit definitely worth the time and money spent.
In a room full of mirrors and silver balloons, the image focuses on the floor, which looks up and out with streaks of light dissecting breaking points. A very fun experience.

Wise advice, from Steve Martin, that applies to any endeavor.

A jagged rocky shoreline holds a small tide pool at the edge of a cove in Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. Waves are crashing on the rocks in the distance. On the horizon, land from the left meets the ocean on the right, which fades into the blue sky above.

For this week's Blue Sky Art show, some of the best food I've ever had. A chicken and chorizo dish at Charivari in Paris. Paired very well with an excellent Bordeaux.

A blue plate holds a chicken and chorizo dish in a Paris cafe. It is served on roasted potatoes with a spicy chorizo cream sauce. Topped with parsley and sliced green onions. There is a glass of wine and a candle just behind the plate. It was an exquisite meal.

For this week's #BlueskyArtshow please enjoy the #Alternating colors on my cat's toes. He was a sweet cat and I miss him. He was very photogenic.

A gray cat lays in the sunshine. His toes are alternating colors between pink and gray, with some white tufts of fur on a few of them.

Inside a storage building in the Napa valley wine region of California, dozens of barrels of wine age peacefully until ready to be bottled. The oak barrels are colorful and the wine inside of them will be wonderful.

Chairs, an aisle and an alter on the beach prepared for a wedding ceremony. There's a heart in the sand in the foreground and waves breaking under blue sky on the horizon ahead.

It's been a week. Haha.

Not sure where to start or what to say. But we started watching Mob Land and this song has been stuck in my head and isn't leaving. Not sad about it either.

Happy Friday!

Sunday #Stunday with #poppies
It's like morphine for the #soul when you stumble across something like this in suburbia's dystopian hellscape. #Nature is beautiful.
A small area of a crowded suburban town bursts forth with the beauty of spring. Bright green grass with bright red poppies and other wildflowers give an overwhelming rush of color to the concrete wasteland just out of the frame. It's a shame to think that the earth could look like this everywhere, instead of the soulless and lifeless suburban sprawl most humans know. End of rant. Enjoy the poppies. ❤️

Mount Sopris in Colorado. I think I took this one in Carbondale, but I don't remember. There is a rose bush in the foreground. I climbed this one once when I was a kid. It was good to see her again.
