Love above all. 💙

#ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
A woman walks toward a giant metallic heart perched on a hilltop. The sculpture’s rounded silhouette and central indentation warp the reflection of the landscape and cloud filled sky. Sculpture: Richard Hudson’s “Love Me”, 2016 Taken at Donum Estates, Sonoma, CA This is a different view of the sculpture in my earlier post showing a side view of the “pregnant belly” and the reflection in full color.

My #Stunday offering. A little late…
but I guess we’ll slide on into #BlueSkyMonday!

#EastCoastKin
The autumn landscape - vineyards, ponds, rolling hills, fluffy clouds and a brilliant blue sky - are reflected in a metallic, rounded sculpture set against the same blue sky. Photo taken at Donum Estates, Sonoma, CA. Sculpture: “Love Me” by Richard Hudson, 2016

My whole world in his hand. Back when he was #small but seemed so big.

A young child, blurred into the background, holds a water bead in crisp focus in the foreground, his smiling face perfectly inverted in the refraction. (Black and white photograph)

Autumn murmuration for #Stunday
Absolutely mesmerizing in person.
A cloud of starlings fills the sky over autumn colored vineyards echoing the curves of twisted tree sculpture in the foreground. Taken at Donum Estates, Sonoma, CA.

Happy #blueskymonday! Appreciate the subtle beauty all around us.
A Tree Swallow perches on a sunlit branch, its back to us but head turned in profile, letting us know it’s aware of our presence. Its deep blue green plumage camouflages with the blurred background of leaves and sky; white feathers peak out from its underbelly.

Late submission for #Stunday

#EastCoastKin
The beach glows in the golden pink glow of sunrise. A lone fisherman walks barefoot along the wet sand, pole in hand. If only all mornings were this peaceful.

Uganda, 2009. #inside

#EastCoastKin
Black and white photo. A boy crouches, pensive, in the solitary open window of a small farmhouse. The walls bow slightly and are in need of replastering. A wooden overhang extends to the left of the house, providing shade for the boy’s mother, who is resting in the afternoon heat. Banana palms grow in the surrounding fields.

I took this nearly 20 years ago #inside the British Museum. Not bad for a cheap flip phone!

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin
Slightly askew photo of the library inside the British Museum on a rare sunny day in London. A geometric array of triangular glass panes fans out over the inner courtyard featuring a Roman style stone façade and a sweeping stone staircase that wraps around the circular library. The words “Queen Elizabeth” are carved into the upper stones.

Stuck #inside

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin
A big fluffy, scruffy dog perches with his front paws on a cushioned bench, staring out of a large plate glass window at the ocean. Probably looking for seals on this quiet foggy afternoon, longing to go splash in the waves and play in the sand dunes.

When #Vibrant is a vibe.

#EastCoastKin
This photo encompassed vibrance in many ways - to me, anyway. A crowded county fair on a warm summer night. Fairgoers illuminated by the neon glow emanating from the rides, games and shops. In the crowd, two friends greet each other with a hug and a smile, a toddler in her father’s arms cranes her neck to look back at all the excitement, the rest is a blur of movement, color and light.

Just under the wire for #Scape Friday! Here’s my contribution this week - a farmscape near my home on one of those beautifully warm evenings.

#EastCoastKin #mobilephotography
Photograph: a tomato truck drives through the fields, kicking up dust that glows in the late afternoon sun against a background of trees and distant hills.

#BlueSkyMonday vibes.

North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve, CA

#EastCoastKin
Photograph: springtime in northern CA. Sweeping views of the bright blue sky, dotted with fluffy white clouds. A red earth path winds through fields grassed and windflowers. On the horizon, there is a grove of oak trees and two figures walking, dwarfed by the vastness of the sky.

Sunset at the top of Haleakalā is an extraordinary experience.

#Stunday #EastCoastKin
Photo taken from the top of Haleakalā in Maui, HI. Three people perch on the jagged mountaintop, silhouetted against a brilliant sunset, gazing out over the clouds and the island and ocean below.

Cape of Good Hope, South Africa
2009

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin
Photograph of the rocky cliffs, turbulent azure waters, and endless misty clouds on the southern coast of Africa. (Not the true southernmost point, but it feels that way as you gaze across the abyss toward Antarctica)

I’m a total beginner when it comes to astrophotography - and I can’t seem to edit this quite right. But I do love the image…

Joshua Tree NP, CA

#Scape #EastCoastKin
Photograph: a lone Joshua Tree stands in silhouette against the early evening sky. Above it, stars fill the indigo night and the faint haze of the Milky Way arches over the desert landscape.

Photo of a brilliant green agave plant, the leaves dotted with dew. Photo of the desert landscape in Joshua Tree National Park just before dawn. A Joshua Tree reaches into the violet sky toward a distant moon; rocky hills create a jagged horizon. Close up photo on seaside rocks in Hot Water Beach, NZ. A maroon colored crab stares out cautiously from its hiding place next to an iridescent paua shell. Phot of water lilies, one pink-peach and one butter yellow, floating amongst bright green lily pads.

Sunrise on the Kapiti Coast, NZ
Photograph of a beach at sunrise with hills looming over the bay in the distance. The rosy pre-dawn sky and golden clouds reflect off the wet sand as a shorebird wades in the receding waves.

I missed you, #blueskyartshow. Good to be back. Sharing an old favorite.

#Dream big. #EastCoastKin
Black and white photograph of a young child standing on blacktop basketball court in a deserted school playground, pointing up at the hoop towering above him. One day he’ll play here.

#TheJourney #mobilephotography
Black and white image looking out the window of a train. Inside, salt and pepper shakers and a silver cup filled with sugar packets sit on the table. The window divider has EMERGENCY EXIT in vertical letters. Outside, high dessert plants dot the landscape and Mount Shasta looms in the distance. Shot in 2018 on an iPhone 7 Plus

Sometimes the road feels ready long…but it’s #TheJourney that matters.

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin
Photo: staring down a long, narrow road toward the mountains at the horizon. Open fields of wheat-colored grass stretch out on either side and storm clouds gather in the distance.

Crossing wires. #BlueSkyMonday

#EastCoastKin #mobilephotography
Square photo: brown fence posts of varying heights line the bottom of the image. White clouds in radiating lines fan upward into the blue sky. A thick band of white swoops across the sky toward the upper corner and a wire with patio lights swoops across the other way making and X at the top of the image.

Twilight ocean vibes for today’s #classicmono theme.

📍Manhattan Beach, CA

#EastCoastKin
Black and white photo looking down the pier in Manhattan Beach. The twilight sky is soft and muted, reflecting off the ocean in the distance and off of a large puddle in the foreground. Streetlamps line the walkway as people wander back from watching the sunset. Two women walk and talk, their silhouettes reflected in the puddle.

Happy #Stunday!

I took this nearly 20 years ago with a little point and shoot camera. I still really like it.

📍 Umea, Sweden

#EastCoastKin
Photo: an old church stands tall, peeking through dark evergreens. The orange walls and steep rust colored roof contrast with the deep green foliage. The spire, covered in pale green tiles, reaches into a stormy sky.

#Sunlight through the autumn leaves in Yosemite.

Preserve our National Parks! @altnps.bsky.social

#BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin
Photo of autumn oak leaves, turned golden brown, backlit by the afternoon sunlight creating a sunstar. The leaves have been eaten (possibly by leaf miners?) leaving tiny holes, trails and patterns.
