Probably not unique, but in central Austin, people often decorate their cacti for Christmas. #ArtAdventCalendar #photography #Texas

In Texas you can drive onto the beach and camp. You can see the storm building that rocked us overnight. #TidesOutTuesday #photography #artprompt

Again, in the spirit of an advent calendar, I decided to look for pictures I took on December 1st. Here's December 1, 2022, in Colorado. My son's dog created art in the back yard and I had to document it to show him. As one does. Kind of a standing stone look. #ArtAdventCalendar #Seasons

In the spirit of an advent calendar, I decided to look for pictures I took on December 1st. Here's Crooked Lake in northern Michigan on December 1, 2021, looking spectacular. I didn't contribute to the art, just pointed the phone! #ArtAdventCalendar #Seasons #nature #photography

Crisp Point Lighthouse Newberry, Michigan (Upper Peninsula) "It appears to be an easy 45 minute drive. It is not." One of those moments you wonder whether it's better to turn around or keep going. Glad we kept going. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWindows

Things true at once: we've had wonderful family time this holiday & my 98 yo mother-in-law is in the hospital with uncertain prognosis for surviving the next few days. Here's my grandson and his second cousin looking out the window at the "big" cousins playing outside in the dark. Hug your people.

Now I know for sure that I shared my yak photos this summer but...a e i o u and sometimes y for yak! #WeekVForVowel #AlphabetChallenge #nature I don't know if the Yakity Yak Talking Teeth toy (1949) has anything to do with the teeth of yaks but if not it's a great coincidence to think about.

One thing I loved about my last neighborhood in Austin is there was a lot of street art. This one was a sweet one that emerged during the early days of Covid-19. #TagTuesday #photography #getoutside

Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia 470 mil yrs ago, these rocks were mud & sand in the ocean near Africa, were eventually compacted into shale and sandstone, then squeezed between the two continents, melted, and the granite rose up to the surface. #RockinTuesday #BlueskyArtShow #nature #photography

Last night at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Austin, Texas

Last week there was a #BlueskyArtShow challenge for #HidingInPlainSight. It was for self portraiture but this is a photo of my grandson playing in his backyard that would fit for portraiture in general. 😉

#AdoorableThursday in Estes Park, Colorado

Sharing some out-the-window views of leaving the rain forest to head back to Texas for a few weeks. I love Hāna highway with the windows down and water and green everywhere. Also, it's 7:37 pm here but after last night's red eye flight failed to render any sleep I'm thinking I'm soon ready for bed!

I don't know if you've checked out the #AdoorableThursday or #Adoorable #photography but I really enjoy and appreciate the posts. Some really good photos. Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico. I think it's worth a trip if you're in the area.

Hiking with my son in Rocky Mountain National Park. #RockinTuesday #Nature #photography #BlueskyArtShow

I hope #TextureTuesday is still a thing because I can't get enough of lava rock walls. This one at the "shortcut" through the hotel (way better than walking on the road).

Last morning walk with Masu at Hāna Bay for a few months. #TidesOutTuesday #nature #photography

Can you see the gecko hunter? Nature in Hawai’i

I think this definitely qualifies as #BlueskyMonday #photography. From a walk on the Poudre River Trail in northern Colorado one February day in 2022.

When we remodeled our Michigan condo a few years ago we got to: 1. put the toilet in the shower for a while, 2. get rid of that weird tile the original builder had put on the walls and floors, and 3. put a #bright lamp on the floor of the bathroom, as one does (before donating it). #BlueskyArtShow

Back in the rain forest again for a few days. Happy to get to stay in a friend's place! Hāna, Maui

Out the window over New Mexico. I like the cloud colors.

Austin airport 3:30 am. Heading to Hāna for a few days!

My computer tells me that this was at 9:11 pm on an August day in 2022 on the lake. That makes it #Evening for the #BlueSkyArtShow!

Drive a day away from CO mountains & this is what it looks like out the hotel window in Texas, 75 mi from the NM border. The brewery & brick oven pizza kitchen--I'm impressed to see it--calls the town "the heart of the gateway to Colorado". Quite a stretch. Cotton, cows, & oil. Onward to Austin.

Some crazy light and sky action across the street right now. The foreground is the corn field. Sunset at 4:51 so this is a bonus round of golden hour (this was at 3:35 mountain time).

@thesnarkyfarmer.bsky.social is posting about building insect hotels but it's #FoodOnFriday so I'm posting about insects--chapulines--as food. (Oaxaca, Mexico)

This #Autumn So many things to do, big and small.

Is this the cutest wedding cake ever? #dogs

Got to come up to Estes Park today for a family wedding. This photo was through the window, reflecting the inside lights. I like it! #photography #WindowsOnWednesday

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Awaiting results.... So many voting photos over the years. This one is from 2014!

My mind's on Hāna, Maui because we'll be there for an event in just over a week. So today's #RockinTuesday is a photo from Kōkī Beach that is such a favorite that it's my laptop screensaver. #photography
