#Relax is today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme. Makes me think of this early morning in the Willamette Valley of Oregon -- enjoying the beautiful vista while the fog slowly lifts. “I will meditate on your wonderful works.” Psalms 145:5

Beautiful pink and orange flowers set against a landscape of fog, trees, and hills.

Theme for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow is #Jagged. Titled "Forward Thinking", I created it with an inexpensive FujiInstax mirror-effect lens. Subject is a mobile sculpture at the Baltimore Museum of Art (which, by the way, is a gem).

#WaterfallWednesday on BlueSky is an opportunity to show the awesome size and power of #IguazuFalls on the #Argentina and #Brazil border. The extent of the overall falls is likely 5 times what you see in this #infrared image.

Today's theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow is #Vibrant. The American Heritage Dictionary defines vibrant as "pulsing or throbbing with energy or activity". I think this image fits the bill.

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow is #Texture. Every time I look at this photo, I want to run my fingers over the peeling paint. I call the image "Topography of a Truck", and it was captured in my happy place, the great State of Maine.
Blue and pink paint peeling on a rough and rusted truck door, bracketed by chrome door handles.
