I have been obsessed with getting a good photo of this mountain while up here in Alaska. I think I finally got it. Taken 1/2 hour after sunrise. #alaska #mountredoubt #photography #mountains

My clearest photo of Mt Redoubt and the Cook Inlet on this trip. Either ice fog or full on clouds have obscured the mountain in my previous photos. #photography #volcano #alaska

Sunset at 3:48 this afternoon. Looking out over the frozen solid Kenai River.

Mt Redoubt just as the sun was setting this afternoon. Taken from Bridge Access Rd, looking out over the frozen Kenai River and river flats. #Alaska #sunset #photography

Fun set of white cotton yarn snowflakes I whipped up. Love this simple but cute pattern, substantial enough so no starch is needed. 🧶#handmade #wintercrafts #crochet #snowflakes

Sunset over Cook Inlet, mountains in the background hidden by clouds. #sunset #photography #Alaska

Cool pinky horizon to the north with a raven flying by as the sun went down yesterday. #sunset #photography #alaska

Mt Redoubt about 50 miles away across Cook Inlet #Alaska #Photography #mtredoubt #mountains

My grandaughter brought me a grocery bag of finger weavings she did in kindergarten last year, shown in photo 1, I stitched them together into a cute wall hanging/blanket which I didn’t get a full picture of, but it came out so cute and she loves it. 🧶 #handmadeart #yarnart

City of Detroit is seeking a sculptor for another Joe Louis statue. This one to "celebrate his life as an equestrian who worked to encourage African Americans to embrace the world of horses." Apps due Dec 30th www.wxyz.com/news/region/...

My latest upcycle-old Fubu windbreaker made into a nice large zippered tote, with handles on each end from the wrist bands. Holds several fleece and denim jackets and a full size pillow. I think it’ll be perfect for my upcoming trip to keep my coats and jackets in one place.

Another view of Amicalola Falls near Dawsonville Georgia, looking out from top of the falls into I think the Blue Ridge Mountains, or maybe the Appalachian Mountains #Photography #Nature

While creating this piece, a thought came into my mind that I think is a perfect title: "I CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE". See comments for more details about the meaning. #mixedmediaart #painting #monster

I cleaned and oiled and finally set this up to sew today. It sews like a dream!! I bought this last year from a son cleaning out his mother’s house after she transitioned. You can tell it was a precious possession as she had carved her drivers license number into the shiny black surface.

Back to the collage sketchbook. Took a little break. #collageart #collage #junkjournal #artjournal #mixedmedia

Beautiful sugar maple greeted us at Elmwood Cemetery today. #detroitmi #autumn #fall #nature
