Peder Krøyer first visited Skagen at the northernmost point of Denmark in 1882 and became captivated by the light and the landscape. One of the distinguishing features of his paintings (this is 1908) is that moment when the sky is illuminated by two sources of natural light.

Winter Surprise Dana Irving 2021

Dawn Sunday 28 December 2025 at boundary bay Delta BC 🇨🇦 it’s freezing cold - but so beautiful - I’ve lined up the bald eagle eating his breakfast on driftwood with an interesting background - when hunters shotgun blasts make him fly up! (Making me swear 🤣 sorry, not sorry 🤬)

Felix Vallotton's picture (1905) is of his wife Gabrielle. When they married in 1898, he quit printmaking which had brought him success and devoted himself to painting, developing the disquieting style which defines the many pictures he produced in the final 25 years of his life.

Wayland’s Smithy looking particularly moody in the cold today. There’s a specific kind of magic in these stones when the colors are muted.

Cue the 'Frasier' theme song. 🤪

All this fighting and rushing. Heronkind will have none of it. Calmness is theirs Stillness is theirs More time to enjoy living

A rapidly-intensifying storm is expected to bring heavy snow, blizzard conditions, and icing from the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes and Northeast. Scattered severe thunderstorms may produce severe/damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes across parts of the Midwest and lower Ohio Valley

Happy winter holidays from me and the little reindeer, whatever you may be celebrating this season. And for those who find the holidays hard, for all kinds of reasons, I'm thinking of you especially today. May the days pass gently.

Wayland’s Smithy “Then let my tale be told, While yet my stones stand firm on English mould, To those among ye who yet love our tongue, How Wayland the Smith forged here of old.” K M Buck, The Song of Wayland

'Trieste Harbour.' 1907 was an important year for Egon Schiele. He was still a student at the Vienna Academy and had outgrown its doctrines and its tutors. It was the year he first got to know Gustav Klimt, 'through' whom, as he later said, he was to reach his own unique style.

'A Spring Landscape.' Mary Swanzy was one of the first women artists in Europe to embrace modernist painting and a cubist style. She painted until she was 96 exhibiting alongside Signac and Delaunay in Paris, and in London alongside Chagall, Braque and Moore.

Sunday 🌤️

Good Night. ✨

Between Christmas and New Year I like to look at my favourite wildlife moments of the last twelve months. This is from last January when the wildlife cam captured the Dog Fox and Vixen nuzzling each other on the lawn. Love having the little Fox family visiting my garden.

With music - July greetings, it’s a look back to the morning farm rush hour with our forever friends enjoying the freedom of our charity farm, living in harmony

From the past. A look back to on this day 27th December with our farmily of farm animals & friends in

Icicles today at the river.

Much of the snow melted and the small cedar sprung back and off the roof, however the tires suggested that they needed to be replaced.

1/2 Kestrel - Peak Hunting Effort Coming down the track to the cottage just now there was a Kestrel hunting with huge intensity. It was focussed on the narrow hedge/field margin, looking for a vole or mouse in that niche where fallen fruit/seeds are more abundant. #BirdofthDay #Outstretched #Raptors

Much of New England awoke with 4-8+ inches of snow as a low pressure system continues to press eastward. The system moves into the Atlantic during the day today, ending this latest round of winter storm for the Northeast with colder than normal temperatures through the remainder of the weekend.

In this 1956 portrait by Graham Sutherland, the greater portion of the canvas is filled with the novelist and music critic Edward Sackville-West's head and shoulders; the closeness magnifies the sense of familiarity between the viewer and the viewed.
