Just a phone camera pic but it's full of the things I love ( color, light, plants, my dear Cosmo..) so this is my #ArtAdventCalendar offering today. Happy #Caturday.

I taught a class at the library to school kids about assemblage art this fall. This was my example. #ArtAdventCalendar #Nature #Art #libraryprograms #library #kids
A shallow box lined with blue paper. Inside there are natural objects like seashells, acorns, stones, dried flowers, a feather, seed pods, etc.

Last year I bought a kit to make this ornament. This year I made it again by using the first one as my model. The kit came with the hat so I just felted one for this guy. #ArtAdventCalendar #needlefelting #fiberarts
Hey dog needle felted from white wool. He has dark ears and a red Santa hat.

Took advantage of our long, lovely autumn by enjoying a walk around Sloan's lake yesterday. It was good to forget about our government for a while. #Denver #nature #colorado #photography
The city of Denver on the horizon and a lake in the foreground. The photo is taken in front of some tall grass. Mountains on the horizon. And a lake with fall colored trees around the shoreline. The sidewalk on the left with a railing, and the lake on the right lined with trees and fall colors. A lake and mountains in the background and each side of the photo has a tree and grass across the bottom.

Good morning. Cosmo is annoyed that I'm trying to photograph this lovely dahlia and insisted being in the picture even though he hates having his picture taken. #cats #tuxedo #flowers

The morning sun shining on the dry grass this morning was lovely.
A dirt path trails off into the distance. Both sides of the path have tall dry grass. Gray clouds are in the sky and a mountain is on the horizon. #photography #colorado #fall #nature

If you read 50 days this summer, you get to put your name on the Reader's Wall of Fame at the library. You can put it wherever you choose. I love that one child chose to put her name to the far left of everyone else. Antisocial or nonconformist? #YouthServices #Library #Kids #Funny #Books
A walk with a banner that reads, READER'S WALL OF FAME. Under the banner are 3x5 pieces of paper that children have decorated with stickers, markers, and their name. All of the papers are clustered together under and around the banner except for one that is way over on the left side of the wall.

This was growing next to my raised garden beds. So tiny but fancy! #macromonday
A tiny mushroom. Google says it is a Hare's foot Inkcap. Looks like a white stamen with curlicues on top and a black skirt on the bottom. Tiny but fancy.

My library puts on a free summer carnival for the community with music, carnival games, bounce houses, free popcorn & cotton candy and face painting. There's a play area for kids under 5. It's staffed by librarians and teen volunteers.♥️ #library #libraries #summer #community
Children playing with a bubble machine under a covered pavilion. In the background families gather to play games.

It's been a rough summer for many reasons. It was so good to hike Brown's Creek trail and forget about it all for a while. ♥️ Nature is magic. #hiking #mountains #nature #Colorado #mindfulness #peace
A view of the mountains with a huge log lying on its side in the foreground. A Rocky mountain trail fading off into the distance. With mountains in the background and tall pine trees on the left and right. A young woman sitting with her feet in a babbling mountain stream with tall trees in the background

What do you do to wind down in the evenings? #watercolor #painting
There's a watercolor painting of a yellow flower with a paintbrush laying across it. Also on the desk is a pallet of watercolors and in the background a beeswax candle is burning.

I'm lying on the couch with a nice pack on my back because I slept weird, and this heavy chonk decided he needed to take a nap.
A black and white tuxedo cat curled up on top of a blanket. At the end of the blanket you can see a human's shoes sticking out. The cat is laying on top of the person who is laying on a couch.

I'm teaching printmaking to kids at the #library to celebrate artist/activist Elizabeth Catlett for a #Juneteenth program. I like to give children lots of creative freedom but this is an example I made of what they might choose to make. #LibraryProgram #kidart #art #printing #youthservices
A sign that reads 'everyone is welcome' in purple colored pencil. The sign is mounted on a background of purple designs made from stamps. The designs include spirals, trees, and flowers.

Denver showed up for May 1 rally supporting workers and immigrants.
A crowd of people holding signs standing in front of the Colorado state capital, listening to speeches supporting workers. A crowd of people in Denver Colorado, walking away from the state capital towards Civic center Park in suppor of workers on May 1, 2025. A picture of the sign I carried that reads, " we're standing up for: due process for everyone, immigrants, democracy. The back of the sign read "Immigrants make America great".

I went to the garden store for some plant therapy. It was a lovely escape. #gardens #flowers #mentalhealth
