Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow post. Cinnamon rolls are my top 5 sweet treat, amongst cake, cookies, pie, danish and cheesecake. In the mid morning #Glow of a rainy 120 year old #Vancouver home, coffee and a cinnamon roll are perfect. #WestcoastKin #PhotographersUnited #Art #PNW #LifeIsArt

#TheRoad has always been a place of reflection. Sometimes I go for drives with no destination in mind. Just go. Reflect. Think. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersOfBlueSky #PhotographersUnoted #WestCoastKin #Photo #Desert #BlueSky

Away from where the noise and the lights, the glitz and the constant need for attention is, there sits a place. Special in its own way. It’s free of our collective selfishness. It’s #Home and that’s where I disappear to. #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersUnited #WestCoastKin #Landscape #Photo

#Home is wherever I happen to be. While the surroundings and circumstances might change, I am still me and therefore, home. Home is a mindset. #BlueSkyArtShow #MilkyWay #Astrophotography #Nikon #Art #WestCoastKin #MeteorShower

#Summer #BlueSkyArtShow Time fractures into moments. Fragments stilled in an image, a time stamp never to be repeated. Living and loving deliberately and intentionally is what the desert teaches me. #Nikon #WestCoastKin #TheWildImages #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Landscape #Desert

For this #BlueSkyArtShow a place I’d been 100s of times but not in 20 years. One is small. Little breakable #Pieces collected at the foot of a monument, when all the little pieces are fused, a massive towering cathedral dramatically rises to the sky. #Nikon #PhotographersUnited #WestCoastKin

Today is #MacroMonday another one from my vacation last week. Vacations have been rare for me. This little daisy was one of a bunch of daisies out in front of the #Goonies house. I couldn’t resist. The flowers were stunning. #Nikon #BloomScroll #Flowers #WestCoastKin #PhotographersOfbluesky

#BlueSkyArtShow As we traverse the #Jagged road to discover the sense of self we learn on that journey the strengths and weaknesses we possess. It’s a beautiful ride. #Bees #Wildlife #Nikon #PNW #WeatCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #Flowers #MacroPhotography

#BlueSkyArtShow feathers have always intrigued me. They’re beautiful with their #Alternating tones and textures. #Birds are amazing creatures. #Nikon #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Art #Macro

It’s been a year since my lil Spike took his final journey. An inevitable journey I couldn’t protect him from and could not walk with him. The first 9 years of his life he was abused, abandoned and someone even tattooed him. #R.I.P.

For this weeks #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Smooth a little water drop impact in #FountainPen ink and water. There was a leak from the place above me, so I made it into #Art. First time showing it. #WaterDrop #Photograhy #Abstract #Blue #Macro #ArtistsOfBlueSky #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

R.I.P. Ozzy. What I loved about #ozzyosbourne the most was his unapologetic embrace of his own imperfections. #rock&roll

#BlueSkyArtShow #GetOutside. Taken last night. Sharing with BlueSky, the very first time I was able to capture #TheMilkyWay #Galaxy #AstroPhotography #FirstTime #PhotographersUnited #Stars #NightPhoto #Nevada #Nikon

Second submission for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #GetOutside This red stallion and 3 mares, a juvenile male and foal surprised me in the wild. The caption tells a bit more of the story. #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #Wildlife #Horse #Wildhorse #Nature #Nikon #Nevada #Photo

For this weeks #BlueSkyArtShow theme #GetOutside I specifically went outside on 2 trips. Still on the road now. Wait’ll you see the last post for this theme. #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #Wildlife #WildBurro #Donkey #Nature #Nikon #Nevada

It’s #MacroMonday again so I’m sharing a photo from a series from a few years ago. #Flowers #Nikon #Nikonshooters #BloomScrolling #WestCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #Art #Photography #Photo #FlowerReport #PhotographersUnited #Chrysanthemum

This weeks #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Narrow so I reached back in my archive and grabbed a #Smoke #Photo from 2010. #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Nikon #Drama

#Joy is often described as fireworks. And some people just streak by, too occupied to see joy. #Photography for me, is a joy. Sharing moments I captured. Another submission for #BlueSkyArtShow#Fireworks #PhotographersUnited #WestCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky

I really look forward to the the #Saturday #BlueSkyArtShow This weeks theme is #Joy In 2018 I tracked this guy and we locked eyes. Look at all his scars. He seen some shit. He charged me. What a joy to have met this beautiful #WildMustang #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #Nature #Photo #Desert

R.I.P Brian Wilson. I spent a few hours with the legendary #BeachBoys founder back in 2013. We had a conversation about life, following your dreams and being an artist. He and the band performed all the greats to about 60 people. #GettyImages #photography

#BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant You’ll never guess what, or how this is. I did a series over several years. #Art #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Photography #Photo #WestCoastKin

Our life’s stories should be #Vibrant stories to tell, if we’ve lived extraordinarily. Happy #BlueSkyArtShow Day! My first submission this week. The #PacificOcean at #Sunset in 2016. #Photography #WestCoastKin I’m happiest chasing sunsets instead of chasing likes and paychecks.

The wildernesses of #Nevada have some of the darkest skies you can find anywhere. Throwback to 2015 #Underneath the infinity of a nights sky, another #BlueSkyArtShow submission. #WestCoastKin #Nightscape #Stars #Photoraphy #PhotographersOfBlueSky (Zoom in)

One of my favorite subjects to aim my cameras at is #lightning another #BlueSkyArtShow submission Standing in the desert holding a metal camera and daring the angry sky to strike is invigorating. #Underneath #WestCoastKin #Photography #Photo

Today’s #BleSkyArtShow submission #Underneath The red stairs of experience Underneath the top of the stairs your journey begins. Underneath the top of the stairs your journey ends. Perspective is a personal experience.

#BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow When I was a child that razor wire and fence wasn’t there. My father would drive out onto the runway and point the car directly in the path of the planes taking off. We’d also do that where they landed. It was transformational. Can’t do that anymore though.

Have you ever been in St. Louis on a foggy low cloud day? The arch looks like this. From 1992, 50 yr old Voigtlander without an auto light meter. One more for the #BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow #Film #Art #WestCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky Light and shadow is my fav 📸 technique.

One more for #BlueSkyArtShow and #LightAndShadow Which is my fav photo technique. Thought of this one from 2013 How to Destroy Angels. For me, light and shadow is about drama. The unknown of what resides in the shadows has caused humans intense drama for, ever. #photography

If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content. - Leo Tolstoy From 2017- A second submission to #BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow #parkinggarage #blackandwhite #westcoastkin #urbanlandscape #reallife #photographersofbluesky #photography

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison with what lies in you. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Another premier image seen here for the first time for #BlueSkyArtShow #LightAndShadow #photography #westcoastkin #photographersofbluesky #bird #great-tailedgrackle

Just in the nick of time for #macromonday and a little #bloomscroll. “I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on, I can’t believe you” - Friedrich Nietzsche #snapdragon #flower #nature #westcoastkin #photograpersofbuesky #photography

The #MojaveDesert is one of my fav places on earth. It’s prickly, rugged and very textured. This was taken during a summer rain storm. 2022 #BlueSkyArtShow #texture #landscape #photographersunited #westcoastkin #photographersofbluesky #cactus #desert

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; genius hits a target no one else can see. - Shopenhauer Today’s #texture #BlueSkyArtShow submission, “Colorful Death” was displayed in an art show “Colours of Joy” in China in 2023 #photographersunited #photography #westcoastkin #wabisabi #art

Today is #MacroMonday in our transactional disposable society, I feel it’s important to remember what it took to get where I am. Life isn’t easy. Sometimes what seems insignificant is simply magnificent. #blueskyphotographers #photogrpahy #macro #westcoast

Ok. Last submission for #BlueSkyArtShow #Lines I submitted a nature, and a landscape and now a different direction. Back in 2005 when I was concentrating on another area of my 📸 career. It took almost an hour to dial in the lights to do what you see here. Not Ai. #photographersunited #portrait
