Lonely diamond at the Diamond Beach.
At our visit in March 23, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon was completely empty. Only one left over ice sculpture on the beach.

A few weeks before the start of the #NewYear Mark and I hiked partway up #NorthTableMountain in #Golden #Colorado. It was during the fierce winds, and we were concerned about what appeared to be smoke near the center of the picture. Thankfully, I never heard that anything came of it. #BlueSkyArtShow

I had hand surgery this morning, carpal tunnel and trigger finger. Oscar is helping by giving me a place to elevate my hand. Such a good boy.

My favorite #Holiday is the #Winter #Solstice because it brings the promise of longer daylight. Similarly, I also look forward to the Summer Solstice because by then I'm ready for shorter daylight. Crown Hill Park Lakewood CO moments before sunset. 2 minutes later the light was gone #BlueSkyArtShow

Here's one from the archives—Oscar being Oscar. This is the same pose that won us over when we first found him at the shelter. #Caturday #cats #tuxedo #tuxie #catsofbluesky

Cape Hatteras. 11x14 original pastel painting.
This is a commission that was sold to a private collector. It has a very different message than the more abstract one I posted earlier. This is a message of peace, and of safe harbor. #art #painting #hattaras #pastel #ocean #lighthouse

My favorite #nonfiction #book this year was Embers of the Hands—Hidden Histories of the #Viking Age. (They weren't all rampaging warriors) I learned that one group traveled east and down the rivers of Russia, reaching the Black Sea, and that #Kiev #Ukraine was a thriving hub 1,100 years ago #booksky

The perspective in this picture is deceptive. Oscar's body is actually quite abundant, but this angle does allow you to admire his #Whiskers #WhiskersWednesday #cats #tuxedo #catsofbluesky

Oscar is pensive this #Caturday. We've been without electricity almost continually since Wednesday morning and Oscar is acutely aware of the change. In this picture he's in front of the fireplace, which he enjoys, but he wants things put back to normal, as do his humans.

This is the studio of Paul #Cézanne in #Aix-en-Provence #France. Looks like they're having an #OpenHouse #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #vacation #angles #shadows #blue I think this was one of my best photos from the trip.

Our power has been out since 6 am. It may not be restored for days if the intense, dry winds continue. As usual though, we are among the lucky ones. Plenty of firewood, candles, books, restaurants open just a mile away, cat snoring by the fireside. We are blessed this holiday season.

My favorite novel this year has been Kate Quinn's "The Briar Club" which involves a random group of women living in a Washington DC boardinghouse during the McCathy era. I love anything by #KateQuinn and this one has intrigue, spies politics and sex—all the critical elements! #Booksky #novel #books

The weather here has been very dry and windy. Our electrical provider shut off our power yesterday morning as a preemptive measure against a wildfire. It may be off until tomorrow. As much as I like Oscar snuggling up to keep warm, I'll be glad when this is done.

Male and female Harlequin Ducks on the Semiahmoo Bay in the Salish Sea. Even with a "least concerned" status, it is often considered a "rare" bird sighting...unless you live here or on the Yellowstone River where we saw them first!

My parents used to send us a #Tomten for Christmas, including during our daughter's snowboarding years. Mark's Mom always sent a handmade petit point ornament. The tree is up, Tomten are on the mantle. Charlie Brown music on Spotify. Cookies are in the oven. Christmas memories are coming back. 🎄

One of my #FavoriteThings about our trip to #France was finding the unexpected, like this ancient building with its tiny, fortified #stained-glass #window that we passed on the road up to Mont St. Michel. #BlueSkyArtShow
