Sharing one last photo for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow.

Sunset in Chicago, 2018

Have a beautiful night, #BlueSky friends!

The Chicago skyline cuts across the horizon between the sky and Lake Michigan. A brilliant sunset casts a warm glow.

Using contrast in black-and-white photos is not just for "making things stand out more". Contrast can also create a sense of balance, especially if you find it naturally. 🐴

Pulling one out of the archives for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow. My eldest grandson turns 15 today.

He’s a sweet ray of sunshine in our lives, and this shot is one my favorites from his early years. 🥰

A brown-skinned baby is held up by a young blonde girl in a swimming pool. Bright sunlight shines from their left, casting shadows on the other side of their faces. The water is a bright aqua color. There are faint ripples in the water.

As the last leaves fall and autumn is waning in the Northland, I find myself missing the brilliant colors of summer.

A cluster of bright orange coneflowers fill the screen. The centers of the petals are a rich reddish color, giving them an ombré effect. The disk (center) of the flowers are a rich chocolate brown.

It is often difficult to open up, but that is the only way to let your inner radiance shine through. Be brave and let it happen 🫶

Close-up of a white star magnolia blossom opening. The flower is brightly lit by backlighting. Next to it is a branch with buds. Black and white photograph.

The wife's favorite hummingbird, a juvenile male Anna's perched on a twig in portrait and showing off all his bright iridescent colors and cool blank spaces that will fill in as he matures, is her choice for this art show. I know. Right?

A scenic coastal beach with turquoise blue water, golden sand, and rocky cliffs. A few people are walking along the shoreline and relaxing on the beach under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. A house is visible on the right side near the cliffs.

The Northern Lights were magnificent in south Minneapolis tonight!

During intermission at the Belly concert, I ran a few blocks from the venue to view them better. 🥰

Shades of pink and green vertical light glow in the night sky between tree tops. A handful of stars are scattered throughout the sky. Shades of pink and green vertical light glow in the night sky between tree tops. A handful of stars are scattered throughout the sky.

A mural of the face of the Statue of Liberty in partial profile. The statue’s face is in shades of blue-grey. There are diagonal ripples of different colors and designs across her face. Blank grey concrete is underneath the mural; the other side of the building is red brick with windows.

A perfectly-timed autumn thunder storm ~ Every year, I hope for a day like this, & sometimes I get very lucky. This was more spectacular in person. #stunday #orangesun #eastcoastkin #artchallenge #autumn #autumnmood #fallfoliage #treephotography #autumntrees #landscapephotography #autumnlandscape
Photo: A single tree stands centered in a newly-harvested cornfield, ablaze in orange foliage. The sky above is an ominous dark grey, portending a storm. The edge of woods, out of focus, appears in the background, in autumn colors.

This photo captures a serene sunset scene over the Gulf of Mexico.. The sun is a bright orb setting on the horizon behind a silhouetted, dilapidated wooden pier. The water reflects the warm colors of the sky, creating a mix of orange, yellow, and blue hues. In the foreground, a single seagull is perched on a dark, triangular post, also in silhouette. The pier in the background has several other birds roosting on its structure. The overall mood is peaceful and tranquil.

Since it’s #Caturday and #BlueSkyArtShow, here’s a glimpse of life with an #OrangeCat.

Freddie returned to the scene of the crime.

#Evening #EastCoastKin #MobilePhotography #CatsofBlueSky
A box of Kleenex lies on its side on creme colored carpet, the contents of the tissues have been pulled out into a jumbled mess. A ginger colored cat looks up at the camera. It’s evening and a lamp casts lights and shadows across the floor and the cat.

Home. The sounds of nature at dusk mixed with distant traffic form a quiet #evening symphony.

I love to experience other places and cultures, but the moment I stand here, on the shore of Lake Nokomis, I breathe in that feeling of home.

He traveled across the world for me, so I could see Croatia. We both fell in love with Korčula on this magical #evening. ✨

A open-air restaurant by the waterfront is lit up in the darkening evening sky. It sits on raised stilts. The word “Amore” is seen in silhouette, hanging from the roof. A few clouds are seen in what light remains.
