Dear friends 🦋 Thanks so much for the kind likes and follows while I’ve been offline. I appreciate you all very much for sticking around. Life happens and it's no harm to take a break when needed. So I'll ease back in gently with some lovely lavender from my garden 💜

Found an old photo of one of my favourite mushroom sightings - a magpie inkcap :) Haven’t seen any this year (or since); this was taken in a nearby woodland on this day in 2017.

And again some more red sail magic from this summer…
I’m far to be done with the Greenland folders, so except more red sails & ice images 😅.

Good evening everyone. I haven't shared any of my artwork for a while so here's an experimental piece of a Great White Heron trying to be spooky in the darkness for #Spooktober ! 👻
Hope you like it! ☺️ 🪶 🤍

A watercolour painting of a Great White Egret that is standing on a rock. The background is black/grey wash and splatters to give a sense of darkness and night time.

The best part of doing the Autumn Lights Festival Art Market last weekend was the kids' reactions to my UV macro floral photos.

Shout out to the little boy who asked, "Are these all different diseases?" I will always enjoy that.

My picture of a Great Blue Heron catching a fish at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado, made the Audubon Society’s 2024 Photo Awards top 100 pictures.

I'm still wondering if it's a common blue [Polyommatus icarus] or a Chapman's blue [Polyommatus thersites], but I'm tending to the first one.

A photo of (very likely )common blue butterfly - still roosting on a burnet in front of the rising sun. Through using a long macro lens and open aperture the sun appears as a big orange disc behind the butterfly. The tones in the photo range from violet to orange - on this hazy early morning.

The hues, the scents, the rustling, everything Autumn was offered today. 📷 🍂 …
Fall coloured leaves landed and then dotted with last nights rain are now seemingly placed perfectly for this eye feast.

In Greenland's Scoresby Sund, a deep blue iceberg seems to glow from within as it is illuminated by the late afternoon sun, while glittering ice fragments float within its soft reflections.

Good morning friends 🦋 A little vista from my window that catches my attention when the light moves around and makes the grass shimmer. Just noticing the small stuff. #blackandwhitephotography #classicmono #eastcoastkin #naturephotography

Another beautiful Rose which I’m afraid I don’t know the variety 🫣 Love how the black background really allows the flower to take the limelight. Something about there being the light in the dark too always appeals to me 🤍 #bsky.art #EastCoastKin #flowerphotography #flowermagic #bloomscrolling

Happy #Stunday! Another photo from our amazing tour of Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah with @navajotoursusa.com. Truly the most surreal place I've been.

There is so many little scenes to discover on just this one old fallen tree.
#ShareMondays2025
#EastCoastKin
All the different little scenes on this old fallen tree, will keep me busy for a long time, the tree has been down for as long, as I can remember and it had been cut into 2 lengths that are over 10ft.. so plenty to explore, with the end result a little zine or something along those lines.

Good morning all 💙 continuing on the mushroom buzz with another wee beauty from a local park. I did google and think it could possibly be a Blewit? Have a great weekend!
