I’m officially (self) published! Decided to design my own preschool nature coloring book to sell and use for private programs. Very basic but wanted something small to start. #printninja was wonderful to work with!

Happy #blueskymonday! Locally I don’t have much of a blue sky today, so here is an ocean view from a trip to VA Beach last week.

Today isn’t a #blueskymonday at the oceanfront in VA Beach, so here is a photo from when we crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel last night.

I played hide-and-seek for a while with this Pileated Woodpecker as it worked its way up the trunk of a tree that was overhanging the river.

While looking through my photos for painting inspiration I came upon this one of Montmorency Falls in Quebec. A spooky waterfall for Halloween week🎃!

Nothing like getting a #sideeye from a judgmental gull while eating dinner in my hotel room 15 floors up!

Again it’s been way too long BlueSky people. I’m trying to get out of a creative slump - hopefully the changing season will help!

#home can be a state of mind as well as a physical place. My physical home is dense forests in New England, but my soul feels at peace in the vastness of the high desert of the southwest.

Another photo from our camping trip this week at Mohawk Trail State Forest in western Mass. A stately guardian of the forest, the barred owl, for my #forestfriday offering.
#owl #birds #dcr #MAstateparks #eastcoastkin #mohawktrailstateforest #berkshires
While hiking we saw a flutter and after a while we noticed this beautiful owl watching us from their high perch. As we walked further down the trail we realized it was right next to the trail - a little stressful for us as we walked by, but the owl did not show any stress and we quickly left it to its hunt.

Time to celebrate our forests again this week by posting your images of ventures into nature!

#ForestFriday

Happy Thursday

Tomorrow is #ForestFriday

This is the penultimate weekend of summer. Soon we'll have less & less daylight & the leaves will turn to their fall color.

So, grab your camera & head to the woods for some summer sunshine. Then, share your work with the FF hashtag.

Happy Trails✌️
A poster that shares information about the hashtag Forest Friday. It reads: "A weekly celebration of the outdoors & nature. If you are so inclined, post your forest-related photographs or artwork with the hashtag #ForestFriday Happy trails, my friends ✌️"

It’s #forestfriday! After a summer of having noisy camp kids behind me every time I go into the forest, I’m looking forward to a quiet calm forest adventure with just my husband.

I don’t usually post non-nature photos but I couldn’t resist posting this photo of my little “helper” who seems to be judging my choice of colors!
