Perhaps the spookiest #selfie I've ever taken or seen. Captured the other day in an old unused storage space.

#BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #photography #nikon
An old large mirror with a heavy film of dust on the glass faces forward at the viewer. The frame looks like it was once decorative but is now faded with chipped paint of different colors. The top left of the mirror has the words "Who are you?" painted on in green paint, and a full-body silhouette of the photographer is standing in the center-left of the mirror, with other items and the light from a window behind her also reflecting in the dusty class.

The very end of Scarborough Beach, ME, shortly after dawn around low tide, with lots of sea foam churned up by the rough surf caused by #HurricaneErin.

An ocean scene at low tide shortly after dawn. The sky glows yellow with the colour of sunrise, which is reflected off the foamy water in the foreground. There's a sloping, backlit rocky scene on the horizon.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #SummerDaze dovetails nicely with #Caturday. My old boy Shadow is primarily an indoor cat, but he's allowed out for supervised, leashed walks. He usually chooses to use his "walk" time to doze in the grass, especially on warm summer days.
#photography #nikon
A black long-haired cat sits in the grass, with only his head visible above the foreground grass. He is looking straight ahead at the viewer with his bright yellow eyes. There is the down-spout of a house gutter on the left of the frame, and an out-of-focus stone wall in the background. A black long-haired cat sits in the grass with his body angled facing toward the left of the frame, with his eyes closed as he dozes on a warm summer day. There is the down-spout of a gutter on the left of the frame.

A deep dive into the archives for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Vibrant.
The Hempest at the Harvard Square Garage shopping center in Feb 2011. The Hempest is gone, but the Garage is still standing, thanks to stalled redevelopment plans that were announced several years ago.

#photography #nikon
A vibrantly colored shopping center with a bright green wall on the left, a bright orange tiled wall on the right, a fuchsia HVAC duct on the ceiling between the walls, and a purple ceiling behind it. A light-colored tiled walkway curves from the foreground to the background, leading to a store called "The Hempest", which has a bright yellow wall to its side on the right of the frame.

Closeup of a sage flower bud that's yet to open, for my first contribution to #MacroMonday.

#nature #flowers #spring #garden #bloomscrolling #photography #nikon
The closeup image of a sage flower bud that hasn't opened into a flower yet. The tip of the bud is purple, which fades into green at the bottom of the bud. The leaves of the sage plant are slightly out of focus on all sides of the bud, which is arched over toward the left of the frame.

#Lines, for the #BlueSkyArtShow.

Taken on June 5, 2020 - Day 85 of COVID lockdown.

#nikon #photography #sky
A vertical image with a traffic light hanging in the center-left at the bottom of the frame. The metal pole that the lights are suspended from comes in from the top of the frame. In the background there is a street pole on the left with wires criss-crossing off of it toward the left and right of the bottom of the frame. The background is a deep blue sky with wispy white clouds.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Lines, as seen in somewhere in #Luxembourg in 2019.

#nikon #photography #landscape #stormy
A landscape image of a field of grass with a road cutting through it from the front left toward the back of the image moving toward the horizon. Above the field is a sky that is a partly-cloudy blue directly above the horizon line, and the rest of the sky is filling with dark storm clouds.

#StairsOnSunday, Boston, MA edition.
A triangular spiral staircase is seen from above, looking down to the ground floor. The viewer sees a total of three triangular spirals moving from the top to the bottom. The view from the top looks down on two yellow throw rungs with yellow and green chairs on them. There is a person in one of the chairs, and one person walking up the stairs at the tip of the bottom most triangle of stairs.

One more for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Silhouette. An oldie but goodie, taken during the July 4th celebrations somewhere on the beach in Marshfield, MA back in 2011.

#photography #nikon #travel #summer #fireworks
A pair of people stand in #silhouette in front of a bonfire on the beach at night, with fireworks bursting overhead. The smoke from the fire drifts upwards and almost seems to meet the fireworks.

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Silhouette.

#photography #nikon #travel #water #lake #summer #fishing
A man in silhouette stands at the edge of a lake between two trees with a fishing pole pointed to the right that he's about to cast out into the water. The water behind the man is lit by the gentle purple glow of sunset.

My first contribution to #StairsOnSunday, #Luxembourg edition.

#photography #nikon #travel
The viewer is at the bottom of a staircase below ground, looking up toward the sky. The stairs are lit up by the sunshine above, and the sky is blue with a white fluffy cloud. There is a man at the top of the stairs in front of a building, and a construction crane towers above the building.

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #TheJourney. I'm glad we're past the colder months and moving into spring, but I still love #autumn colors.

#landscape #photography #nikon
A wooden boardwalk runs from the front of the scene to the back, slightly curving through a woodland scene with bare autumn trees, with bright orange leaves on the ground. The left side of the boardwalk has a railing made of thick rope strung through wooden posts, and there's a wooden bench on the left side about three-quarters of the distance into the scene.

A pruned sage plant from the previous year begins to sprout new growth in early #spring. #BlueSkyArtShow.

#garden #BloomScrolling #nature #photography #nikon
A young sage branch with early leaves is in the center of the frame, sprouting up from the old, pruned back mature branches from the year before. The leaves are the only green in the frame, with purple stems, while the rest of the frame is the out-of-focus brown color of the garden oil and branches surrounding the new growth.

The early stages of a lily sprouting up from the ground in early #spring, for the #BlueSkyArtShow, taken on March 16th last year. We're only two weeks away from that date now, and I suspect early spring life will take longer to arrive this year.

#flowers #BloomScrolling #garden #photography #nikon
A young lily sprout shooting up from the ground in the center of the frame, as it just starts to emerge from the bulb underground. It is the only green in the frame, with the rest of the foreground and background the out-of-focus reddish-brown colors of the soil in the garden bed.

I dove deep into the archives for this one. Taken at Tara Farm orchard in CT way back in 2009. Shooting RAW images was still relatively new, I was first learning to use a DSLR, and Apple Aperture was my RAW software of choice.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Abandoned #barn #nikon
A black & white image of an abandoned barn that is decaying and missing its right side looms large in the frame. It has white letters that say"Tara Far" (missing the "m" at the end) on the side that faces the viewer. The sky is dark with swirls of bright white clouds, the top of a tree is seen above the barn, and overgrown vegetation is in the foreground.

A close up of metal banjo picks sitting on a shelf, catching the sunlight from the window.

Taken August 11, 2020. Day 148 of COVID Lockdown.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Monochrome #banjo #photography #nikon
A close-up black-and-white image of three metal banjo picks sitting on a shelf. The two picks in the background are out of focus, while the one in the front clearly shows the text etched into the metal. The picks are angled toward the right of the frame, from where they are catching the light of the sun that shines in through a window (window is out of frame).

The orange petals of a #calendula flower (commonly called "pot marigold") after the rain.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Monochrome #flowers #garden #bloomscrolling #photography #nikon
A close-up macro shot of a bright orange calendula flower after it had rained. The petals are wide open, showing the pollen in the middle, and there are large rain drops on each individual petal.

The shadow of a lamp shade looms large on the ceiling.

Taken March 3, 2020. Day 3 of COVID Lockdown.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Monochrome #photography #nikon
A lamp sits at the bottom of the frame against a wall. The light is one, which causes the wall and shade to appear dark against the light beam leaving the top and bottom of the shade. The white ceiling is lit up by the lamp, with a large shadow of the lamp shade on the ceiling immediately above. The division between the dark wall and light ceiling is seen as a diagonal line moving from left to right in the center of the frame.

The new leaves and blossoms on a very young apple tree in spring time.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Monochrome #spring #nature #photography #nikon
Most of the frame is filled with the out-of-focus green color of grass. There is the very thin trunk of a young apple tree rising up vertically through the frame with young green leaves and pink apple blossoms.
