#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening #AirShow #Sky #Orange #ShockingPink #Purple #Black #WaitingForTheAirplanes
This evening sky is orange at the top of the picture. Horizontally, through the center of the picture, run deep purple and shocking pink streaks of clouds. Across the very bottom are treetops in silhouette, black against the vibrant sky.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening #Eagles #Zoo #Caged #Dignified
One evening at the zoo, I captured these two eagles perched on a tree stump and tree limb behind the fencing of their enclosure. The sky behind them is pale purple. The eagle on the left is perched higher than the eagle on the right. They have maintained their dignity in these less than ideal circumstances.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening #Purple #Orange #Clouds #Silhouette #RoofLine #Sunset
The sun was setting behind my house. It made the clouds look pale orange, and the sky periwinkle blue. The trees on the left side of the picture look black, as does the first and second floor roofs of the house in the lower right-hand corner.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening #HandmadePaper #DancerInEveningGown #AbstractArt
This is a piece of handmade paper art I learned to make recently. It is abstract and very colorful. The dominant color is deep yellow. Small pieces of paper scraps are distributed in a whirling design that reminds me of a woman dancing in a long evening gown. The colors of the scraps are purple, orange, navy blue, pale blue, pink, green, and red.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Autumn #MapleLeaves #LongShadows #Fall #Reds #ForestFloor
The entire photo is of autumn leaves on the forest floor. Some are red, and some are flipped over, revealing a pale pink backside. There are alternating bands of bright and shadow running vertically. Two of the shadows are my legs.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Vertical #MilkweedSeeds #MilkweedSilk #Stem #BlowinInTheWind #Autumn #Fall
I took this picture in my wildflower garden this week. It shows a milkweed pod, dried out, and bursting open with silk and seeds ready to be taken by the wind. The background is blurred and dried out goldenrod with areas of yellow, green, and brown. Just to the right of the white silk fibers is a skinny, vertical stem, light brown, and dried out as well.

Chinese light show on display after dark at the Buffalo Zoo. Against the mostly black background is a diagonal row of silk-covered wire shapes lit from within. Water lilies and butterflies make up this particular arrangement. All the colors of the rainbow are present in the wings, petals, and leaves.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #Autumn #Fall #Maple #IntoTheWoods
A row of maple trees growing on a slope. At the bottom, the leaf covered ground is a narrow strip. The tree trunks lean in toward each other. The leaves are shades of red, orange, and yellow. On the right, some of the leaves are still green. The Robin's Egg Blue sky shows through the trees. A few white clouds are scattered here and there behind the trees.

Few things help me #Relax more than a forest. #BlueSkyArtShow
This is a forest scene. The tall, dark maple tree trunks reach out to the sky, their crowns beyond sight out of the frame. Through the trees, light yellowish green leaves from smaller trees and brush is visible along the bottom of the frame. Atop that is the whitish glow from a setting sun. Nearly three quarters of the picture shows the bright green of leaves that haven't yet started turning their autumn colors. And behind all that peeks some patches of blue sky and clouds.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Angles #Window #Curtains #Light
A pair of windows with shades drawn and sheer drapes beneath a zigzag window topper. The view is at an angle, and the light from the windows is yellowish. Everything else is in shadow, and it is hard to distinguish colors and details with any kind of certainty.

Close-up view of a painted turtle being tempted by a tiny snail on a dark green milkweed leaf. Patches of dried out grass are showing under the turtle's shoulders. Its shell is daubed with dried mud and a touch of algae. Its head is in profile, revealing yellow markings on the cheek and red markings on the neck cowl.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Shiny #Iridescent #GlassBlockWindow #Clear #Blues
This picture shows a portion of a glass block window. One block is iridescent with blues, greens, and purple shining through. The other blocks have light and dark areas swirling through the glass. The window sill and the grout between the blocks is rough-looking and light terra cotta in color.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Pieces #Debris #FrenchBroadRiver #Helene #AshevilleNC
I took this picture in November 2024 in Asheville, NC. I'm standing on the shoulder of one of the roads that goes alongside the French Broad River. Starting at upper left, a concrete bridge covered in graffiti stretches to the other river bank. Narrow archways under the bridge are clogged with massive amounts of debris from Hurricane Helene. Lots of smashed pieces of wood, plastic, outdoor furniture, as well as tires and all kinds of miscellaneous trash float on the water with no where else to go. It all waits for human intervention in order to be disposed of properly.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Jagged #Reflection #Pond #FirTrees #Contrast #Mirror
A dense row of dark green fir trees of varying sizes bordering a very still and glassy pond. The pond perfectly reflects the pale blue sky and the jagged row of trees. At the bottom of the picture grows bright green grasses and weeds.

Just met my first green #Lacewing hanging out on this pretty-in-pink #Zinnia
Closeup picture of a zinnia blossom that nearly fills the frame. The petals are varying shades of pale pink. The center is darker pink and kind of hairy looking. Surrounding the center are tiny pale green petals still unfurled and deep yellow strands interspersed. Near the top of the blossom is a green lacewing insect in a vertical position. The very top of the picture captures the bright green leaves of the zinnia.

Close-up view of a wide open squash blossom. The flower is a warm and bright yellow. It nearly fills the entire frame. Center-left in the picture is the orange and yellow stamens of the flower. In the upper and lower right-hand corners, the bright green leaf shows itself from behind the blossom.

#Phlox with every possible configuration of closed and opened buds
Close-up of a deep pink phlox blossom. Some of the buds are still closed, so they are tiny and striped. The background is bright green leaves.

Teasel patch growing in a utility right-of-way and looking especially fancy last evening
In the light of a summer evening, there grows a large patch of teasel in bloom. In the center of the picture, a closeup view of one of them shows two bands of tiny purple blossoms. The blue sky is lit by the setting sun. In the background, two utility poles stand on the right, and hundreds of other teasels surround the nearest one in the center.

A section of the stream that runs under Campbell's Covered Bridge in South Carolina. This picture was intended for #BlueSkyArtShow #Smooth, but my weekend got away from me....
Top half of picture shows a bright green forest of young trees. A partly cloudy blue sky shows through the trees. The bottom half of the picture shows a very calm and shallow stream with red clay bank on the left. A slim tree curves out of the right bank and is reflected perfectly in the glassy water below it.

I live in a really red little town in Western New York, so it was heartening to see these protesters making some good trouble today.
View from across Main Street of a few dozen protesters standing on the sidewalk in front of our red brick City Hall. Some signs have the LGBTQ+ rainbow, some say Hands Off, and others are against #47. A view from across Main St of the rest of the protesters making good trouble in front of our city hall. They are standing at the edge of the sidewalk holding hand-lettered signs against the current regime.
