It’s a very wet start to the week here, so memories of summer in Cornwall to brighten the day. Have a good week all 💙

A scenic coastal beach with turquoise blue water, golden sand, and rocky cliffs. A few people are walking along the shoreline and relaxing on the beach under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. A house is visible on the right side near the cliffs.

A smaller, yet still magnificent waterfall on a trail not too far from Multnomah Falls in Oregon (late May, 2025)

The Northern Lights were magnificent in south Minneapolis tonight!

During intermission at the Belly concert, I ran a few blocks from the venue to view them better. 🥰

Shades of pink and green vertical light glow in the night sky between tree tops. A handful of stars are scattered throughout the sky. Shades of pink and green vertical light glow in the night sky between tree tops. A handful of stars are scattered throughout the sky.

A mural of the face of the Statue of Liberty in partial profile. The statue’s face is in shades of blue-grey. There are diagonal ripples of different colors and designs across her face. Blank grey concrete is underneath the mural; the other side of the building is red brick with windows.

A perfectly-timed autumn thunder storm ~ Every year, I hope for a day like this, & sometimes I get very lucky. This was more spectacular in person. #stunday #orangesun #eastcoastkin #artchallenge #autumn #autumnmood #fallfoliage #treephotography #autumntrees #landscapephotography #autumnlandscape
Photo: A single tree stands centered in a newly-harvested cornfield, ablaze in orange foliage. The sky above is an ominous dark grey, portending a storm. The edge of woods, out of focus, appears in the background, in autumn colors.

This photo captures a serene sunset scene over the Gulf of Mexico.. The sun is a bright orb setting on the horizon behind a silhouetted, dilapidated wooden pier. The water reflects the warm colors of the sky, creating a mix of orange, yellow, and blue hues. In the foreground, a single seagull is perched on a dark, triangular post, also in silhouette. The pier in the background has several other birds roosting on its structure. The overall mood is peaceful and tranquil.

Since it’s #Caturday and #BlueSkyArtShow, here’s a glimpse of life with an #OrangeCat.

Freddie returned to the scene of the crime.

#Evening #EastCoastKin #MobilePhotography #CatsofBlueSky
A box of Kleenex lies on its side on creme colored carpet, the contents of the tissues have been pulled out into a jumbled mess. A ginger colored cat looks up at the camera. It’s evening and a lamp casts lights and shadows across the floor and the cat.

Home. The sounds of nature at dusk mixed with distant traffic form a quiet #evening symphony.

I love to experience other places and cultures, but the moment I stand here, on the shore of Lake Nokomis, I breathe in that feeling of home.

He traveled across the world for me, so I could see Croatia. We both fell in love with Korčula on this magical #evening. ✨

A open-air restaurant by the waterfront is lit up in the darkening evening sky. It sits on raised stilts. The word “Amore” is seen in silhouette, hanging from the roof. A few clouds are seen in what light remains.

Happy #Stunday 😍😍
#Sunrise from Glacier National Park #imageandverse

Night surrenders
Silver mists linger
on the Fire’s reflection
Violet Mountains’ shoulders
Today’s present

#artyear #nationalparks #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape
The scene unfolds in the hush before sunrise. A still lake lies smooth as glass, perfectly mirroring the dark mountain ridges that rise above it. The peaks stand in shadow—deep violet and indigo—while the eastern sky begins to glow with the first light of dawn. Bands of soft gold and rose stretch across the horizon, their reflection forming a glowing triangle of color on the lake’s surface. A faint mist drifts just above the water, blurring the line between earth and sky. Stones in the foreground rest in shallow water, motionless. The world feels suspended in anticipation—the moment when night yields to day, and the mountains wait to be touched by the sun.

“I feel it is the heart, not the eye, that should determine the content of the photograph. What the eye sees is its own. What the heart can perceive is a very different matter.” —Gordon Parks

From my hiking at Plitvice Lakes National Park.

The day started out overcast with misty rain. The clouds started clearing and the sun peaked out just as we arrived at this spot. ⛅️

Lush rows of green trees cut through the middle of the image, over a lake. The trees on the right are changing colors. The day is partly cloudy with some blue sky. The scene is reflected in the lake below.

#Autumn Days in Glacier National Park
Good Morning and happy Saturday!!!

Stopped #flyfishing to
Snap a couple of pictures in late September

#Blueskyartshow #EastCoastKin #NationalParks #Scape
The photograph captures a breathtaking expanse of mountain wilderness beneath a sky alive with motion. In the foreground lies an open meadow of golden-brown grasses, still luminous under afternoon light. Beyond it, a line of pines and aspens forms a dark green and amber threshold to the high country — their crowns beginning to turn with the season’s quiet hand. Behind this forest rise the mountains: sharply sculpted ridges and faces of gray-blue stone, their slopes streaked with the faint haze of distance. Each summit seems carved from the very breath of the clouds above, whose immense white towers dominate the sky. Billowing cumulus formations swell and curl with dramatic depth — their edges glowing ivory where the sun strikes, their undersides heavy with slate shadow.

“I will always live in Minneapolis.” –Prince 💜

Couldn’t agree more. Here’s one of #autumn in my beautiful city.

The Minneapolis skyline is seen through trees across Lake of the Isles. Rows of trees in various shades of fall colors are viewed against the skyline. The city and trees are reflected in the lake. The sky above is partly cloudy and the day is slightly overcast.
