From my window tonight, Venus top left, in #Pittsburgh

A collection of flowers and ferns from my hike at Ohiopyle yesterday. #photography #nature

So much water flowing over Cucumber Falls, Ohiopyle State Park, PA (these falls are usually light). See comments for the larger falls! #photography #waterfall #nature near #Pittsburgh

I was today years old the first time I noticed white viola in our woods, turns out it’s common in woods but not lawns. Not the greatest pics, dogs were pulling on the leash, but I love documenting when I’ve found something new to me. 😮❤️

Magical lighting on this tree last night… small moments of wonder like this get me through these times ❤️

From my walk in the neighborhood today! #photography #Spring #Pittsburgh

Just a smidge of color in the clouds at #sunset #Pittsburgh tonight.

I was able to capture a nice long #Pittsburgh #sunset just before the thunderstorm clouds rolled in tonight! #photography

First blooms of spring in #Pittsburgh! From Dead Man’s Hollow conservation area, taken today. #photography

Hiked Dead Man’s Hollow today near #Pittsburgh, now a conservation area but once a factory and rumored bandit hideout. Miles of great trails, wildflowers (yes, already) and lots of stories of ghosts and buried loot. On my way out, passed a couple with a metal detector and shovel!! #photography

A couple relaxes amidst a fresh sprouting of green grass along Panther Hollow Lake (really a pond) in Schenley Park, #Pittsburgh. Taken today. #photography

I ❤️ the moss growing on these old Tufa bridges in Schenley Park #Pittsburgh. Historic, only a few in the world, and built in 1908. #photography taken today!

Made in #stone. I offer up these fossils taken at #Ohiopyle State Park near #Pittsburgh on 12/26/21 for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow challenge. Not my art but nature’s art!! These are easy to see along the Ferncliff Trail opposite side of the visitor center for the falls.

One of my favorite photos, a spooky evening in Mt Vernon Place, #Baltimore, the light was strange and otherworldly on the United Methodist Church. Taken 3/31/23 submitted today for the #BlueSkyArtShow made of #stone challenge.

The #clouds in tonight’s #sunset looked like they were boiling. #Pittsburgh #photography

I took this last weekend visiting Inwood Park, NYC and posted this in “color” which was more grays. Playing with it in black and white for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow then of #horizontal.

The contrast of this simple boat and the skyline of Hoboken is perfect for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow challenge of #horizontal. Taken from Pier 45, NYC on 6/6/24. #photography

An amazing #sunset in #Pittsburgh tonight. That’s the aptly named Summerset neighborhood across the way from the slags above Frick Park. #grateful to have this perch less than a half mile walk from my house.

George Washington Bridge, New York, NY taken yesterday early evening. The #fog from the Hudson blocked the entire city out as I approached. #photography

#RockinTuesday I love these jutting rocks on the Monongahela in #Pittsburgh. A reminder of how earth’s mantel bent and eroded, leaving rocks once parallel to the surface, aiming skyward. A great seat to contemplate how earth existed well before us and will exist after we are gone. #photography

What could be better than a #Sunset #Moonrise combo? Taken from the same hill, different directions, on the slags above Frick Park’s Nine Mile Run, #Pittsburgh tonight. #photography Every day is #Stunday if you just look 👀

#round tires, once sunk to provide safe haven for small fish, are exposed during a drought at the Youghiogheny River Lake, taken 11/9/24 #BlueSkyArtShow #photography

#round mushrooms remind me of dainty parasols. #BlueSkyArtShow Taken 9/28/25 Frick Park, #Pittsburgh

There was just something pleasing about this arrangement that caught my eye. Sometimes the most mundane moments make me the happiest to be alive! #photography

Tonight’s moon ❤️

Bonus after soaking in the sunset… seeing a sliver of the #moon as the sun slipped below the horizon. Tonight in #Pittsburgh. #photography

It was amazing to get out of work early enough to take a #sunset walk in #Pittsburgh tonight. #photography

Seriously foggy this morning in #Pittsburgh. I love how it also dampens the sound. A little quiet is nice.
