It's #RockinTuesday! Yesterday, on the way to Denver, we drove the Summit Road above #ScottsBluff. Spectacular overlooks and up-close views of the bluffs. 📸 #Eastcoastkin #MobilePhotography #geology #PhotographersOfBlueSky

#PleinAir Our little town hosts this event each year. Three days of painting out in the open in the #BlackHills. The weather was beautiful this year. #Stunday #Eastcoastkin #BlueSkyArtShow

We visited several wineries in the Alsace region of France this year. I saw this lovely winery near Orschwiller. Look closely, and you will see a twelfth century castle on the far hill. So #green. So lush. The wines?? Magnifique!! #GreenSat #ColorADay #BlueSkyArtShow #Eastcoastkin

He's absolutely correct. Give Trump an inch, and he takes the entire country. Our institutions are failing us miserably. Censorship. Brutality. Unlawful imprisonment. Unchecked corruption. It continues unrestrained because they are afraid of an orange tyrant with way too much power.

Some chase the world’s largest ball of string. Me? I found Stonehenge made of cars. #Carhenge (Alliance NE) where ancient mystery meets junkyard chic! #BWFriday #photography #ColorADay #Eastcoastkin

I spotted this enchanting little door in La Petite Venise, the storybook heart of Colmar, France. With its canals, markets, bright facades, and storks overhead, the whole place feels like a scene from a romantic fairytale. #YellowThu #ColorADay #Eastcoastkin #PhotographersOfBlueSky

At the #Tillamook Creamery, Flower the cow looked out her window to greet visitors as cheese was made & ice cream disappeared by the scoop. Every trip to the #OregonCoast with our kids came with the same chorus: “Are we going to Tillamook?!” #WindowsWednesday #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Eastcoastkin

She was right. She was always right.

Waiting for the train in Genova, Italy, on a cloudy day in May. #alphabetchallenge #weekLforLines #Eastcoastkin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #blackandwhite

The leaves are beginning to turn in the hills. Mostly the aspen trees. It was a lovely day today. #PhotographersOfBlueSky #leafies #Eastcoastkin #Fall

It's #MountainMonday! It's difficult not to be distracted when this is the view from my sewing room. #BlackHills #Elkhorn #Eastcoastkin #PhotographersOfBlueSky

The Black Hills are dotted with old mines. 100+ years ago, miners came to the Hill City area searching for tin and other metals, leaving behind test holes and tailings piles. This old mine building is a remnant from that time. #BlackHills #BlueskyPhotographers #Eastcoastkin #MobilePhotography

My new heroes. What they said!

Truth!

#Thicktrunktuesday Sometimes a tree is simply part of the landscape, but sometimes it becomes part of our life story. This tree has stood in front of this house where I grew up for more than one hundred years, quietly holding the memories of more than one lifetime, including mine. #trees

This court needs expanded and there needs to be at least one impeachment. The regime that needs to be changed is our own.

After more than forty years of gardening in Oregon, where everything seemed to thrive, this is my first year gardening here at our new home at 5,000', in Zone 4A. I’ve discovered that pots work better for some of my favorite plants. 🌱 These beauties will spend our crazy cold winter indoors!

What an embarrassment.

The Heart of the Hills quilt guild from my tiny town hosted a quilt fair this weekend—and wow! The little group pictured here managed to display over 400 quilts, drawing more than 1,200 visitors. The artistry and craftsmanship were simply breathtaking. #stunday #quilts #BlueSkyArtShow

I love this! Way to go D.C. !!!

Absolutely fascism. What a worthless piece of filth.

“Everybody look what’s going down”

A little chilly this morning at 5,000'! Fall is falling on the Black Hills! 🥶

Well done!

Driving along the Needles Highway, the light reflecting off the mountains turned the Black Hills golden at sunset. #rockintuesday #MobilePhotography #Eastcoastkin #BlackHills #SouthDakota

#What'sCooking Flatbread night! We thawed homemade frozen dough, topped it with leftover steak, roasted veggies, and a little homemade Alfredo. Grilled it on the flat top. Each person's was individualized. So good. Fun to make together in my kitchen while my sisters are visiting! #Flatbread #Dinner

Respects workers and contractors???? What a joke! He has stiffed so many, often by millions of dollars. Nasty, nasty man.

Loved this movie!

Ha! "TRUMP T-shirts $1.00!" Custer, South Dakota. Labor Day weekend. I live in the land of really offensive and crappy Trump t-shirts. So, it was with great glee that, today, we saw they are now selling them for $1. #TrumpSucks #LaborDay #Stunday

Every state should do this.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

#FlowersOnFriday. These lovely flowers are in the Butterfly Garden at the Singapore airport. Such happy butterflies! #ButterflyGarden #bloomscrolling #MobilePhotography

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Following the Tatanka Hotshots! These are true heroes. Elite, battle-tested firefighters, they are based right here in the Black Hills. They deploy nationwide to take on the toughest wildfires and keep our communities safe. 🔥 #heroes #wildfires

And Catelin Drey for the win in Iowa! It's a good day. ❤️

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1970: As many as 20,000 women protest in the Women’s Strike for Equality in New York City, with more throughout the U.S. The event was held on the 50th anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the constitutional right to vote. /1

It's #DragonTuesday! Always look up at Taiwanese temples! The colorful ceramic rooftop figures, like the rider on this dragon, aren’t just decoration. They are immortals and deities. Jiànnián art telling stories of myth, faith, and protection high above the temple. #Taiwan #TempleArt #Dragons

This is just pretty amazing!

It's #Stunday! I love this photo of a quintessential Italian alley in Genova. Laundry hanging high above the street between bright, colorful buildings, against that azure sky. Stunning! #Eastcoastkin #MobilePhotography #travel #Italy

What she said.

Genius!

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme today is #skyline. This is a photo I took last January of the skyline in Taipei. It rained every day during our visit and this day was no different. Gray and cloudy. Typical January. 🌧☔️ #Taipei #MobilePhotography

I missed it! Yesterday was #NationalBaoDay. I'm celebrating today anyway. This photo was taken at my very favorite restaurant, Din Tai Fung, in Taipei. My favorite bao there is filled with chocolate. Just incredibly delicious. #Taiwan #GoodFood #Travel

This is unconscionable!

Just so impressed.
