Personal Opinion: No celebration is complete without some champagne. 🥂 #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #Champagne #Festive

I headed up to Durango last weekend to ride the Durango & Silverton Train with @swphotographer.bsky.social . We were so lucky to have amazing weather with very blue skies! My favorite part was seeing the turquoise color of the Animas River. #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #CO #Train #Fall #FallColors

Went to a wedding last weekend up in Redstone, Colorado. Was lucky enough to catch some of the leaves changing in McClure Pass! 🍂 #BlueSkyArtShow #TheRoad #Fall #Forest #MoodyVibes #MountainPass #Colorado

New Cover Alert! I recorded the song 'Rainbow Road' from the new "Mario Kart World" game. This one took awhile to record: four saxophone parts, a piano, and the Roli Seaboard for the guitar solo. Hope you enjoy! #MusicSky #Saxophone #Piano #RoliSeaboard #VideoGame #VGMMusic youtu.be/3QEygfVK200

I'm sad to see summer draw to a close, but I also can't wait to pull out the mulled cider for fall. I know my cats will be particularly sad to see the season go. Their favorite summer pastime: watching birds out of the windows all day. 🐈🐦 #BlueSkyArtShow #Summer #Caturday #CatsofBluesky

Had an absolute blast watching "The Marriage of Figaro" last weekend at the Santa Fe Opera! The performers were amazing and the preview dinner beforehand was very tasty! #SantaFeOpera #Southwest #Gruet #Desert #Opera #MusicSky

Here is my soprano saxophone cover of 'Gusty Garden Galaxy' originally from the game "Super Mario Galaxy." Listening to this song has always put me in a good mood. Hope you enjoy! 🎷• 🎹 #saxophone #sopranosaxophone #gustygardengalaxy #videogamemusic #nintendo #musicsky #space youtu.be/Er2u0Z_6Xpc

We had another Roadrunner sighting the other day! This one looks so cute just chilling on the wall. #roadrunner #highdesert #desertlife #birdphotography #southwestern

New YouTube Video! I hope you all enjoy my cover of 'Into the West' from "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King." I wanted this arrangement to sound like a warm hug. 😻 Full Video: youtu.be/DFbRr6aO5lE #MusicSky #PianoCats #SopranoSaxophone #Saxophone #Piano #MusicProduction #Selmer #Petrof

Pearl could teach a masterclass in how to look both elegant and angry at the same time. 🐈 #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #lensbaby #nikon #prettykitty

I have to constantly remind myself to stop working on music inside all day and to take a break, get some fresh air, and to look at something pretty. Anyone else? #BlueSkyArtShow #GetOutisde #Flowers #Lensbaby #WonderlandVibes #BloomScrolling

I think Pearl was an opera singer in her past life... Not sure it counts as art, but this picture I took mid-yawn certainly brings me #joy. #BlueSkyArtShow #petportrait #caturday #cutecats #opera #catsofbluesky

I was finally able to get a few shots of one of the neighborhood roadrunners before it scampered off! #nikon #roadrunner #highdesert #southwest #birdphotography

Thank you so much to Dr. Kelly and the UNM Saxophone Studio for an amazing year! It was an absolute treat to teach as an adjunct professor this year. I'm so grateful for the experience and the memories! (Also, thank you for the 'mostly' dry gifts!) #Saxophone #MusicSky #UNM #UNMMusic #Professor

An up-close view: The texture of the cymbals featured in the art installation at Maison Pommery was really interesting! I liked how the cymbals looked tarnished, aged, and well-worn. #BlueSkyArtShow #Texture #Pommery #Champagne #Cymbals #ArtInstallation #Instruments #MusicSky #Tarnished

A closeup of an art installation at Champagne Pommery. The mix of lights and mirrors placed in a geometric shape were absolutely gorgeous. #BlueSkyArtShow #Lines #Champagne #Pommery #TravelPhotography #Nikon

Such a magical night at the VLA! @thenrao.bsky.social #BlueSkyMonday #NMLife #StarryNight #Nightscape #VLA #RadioAstronomy #Southwest

I may be biased, but I think Pearl is pretty stunning! 😻 #Stunday #PetPhotography #EastCoastKin #PrettyEyes #CatsofBluesky #PetPortrait #Elegant

The color green is my favorite color! Perhaps it's because there is so little green where I live... I'm so grateful whenever I get to visit our local botanical garden so that I can see this refreshing color! #BlueSkyArtShow #Green #ABQbiopark #JapaneseGarden #Leaves

'Observing Space' at the Very Large Array. #VLA #NRAO #NMLife #Southwest #Astrophotography #Nikon #Scape #Nightscape

Melting spring snow on a leaf for #MacroMonday. We had a very sudden snow storm the other weekend. It was very odd for the high desert! #Southwest #CalmVibes #HighDesert #Macro #Nikon

Visited the Very Large Array to start off the weekend for a Star Party. Tried taking some astrophotography for the first time! #VLA #Astrophotography #Nikon #Stars #NightSky #Stunday #Southwest #NMLife #EastCoastKin #NRAO

I wish I could have lazy mornings like Pearl... #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #cateyes #lazycat

Another picture departing Lisbon via ship. This time, I played around with a long exposure. I liked how you could see the ship movement expressed by the wavy city lights. #BlueSkyArtShow #Dream #LongExposure #Cityscape #Lisbon #DisneyCruiseLine

Leaving Lisbon, Portugal at night via the Disney Dream. The city's lights at night were absolutely stunning! #Lisbon #Portugal #Scape #EastCoastKin #Cityscape #NightLights #DisneyCruiseLine #CityLights

For #BlueSkyMonday, I thought I would share a photo from Lighthouse Point in the Bahamas. It was a windy day, but I still loved being there and seeing the beautiful sights! #bahamas #lighthousepoint #nikon #seascape #ocean #aqua

I wrote a song called,"Gonna Read a Webtoon Today!" for a contest. It was inspired by the Webtoon, "The Mafia Nanny." Includes a special Pearl cameo... Hope you enjoy! #webtoon #musicsky #originalmusic #80s #musician #roliseaboard #nikon #themafiananny youtube.com/shorts/Um4TM...

Barrels containing Clos Saint-Hilaire from Billecart Salmon. The logoed Baccarat crystal stoppers were a very cool detail! #acoloradAyPRIL #brown #champagne #billecartsalmon #travelphotography #nikon #baccarat

Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit afraid of flying insects... However, I gathered up my courage to take a picture of a bee friend. #MacroMonday #Nikon #Bee #Flower #Pollen #HighDesert

Happy National Siamese Cat Day from Cooper! #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #blueeyes #siamese #coca-cola

Butterfly friends are always so mesmerizing to watch! The sun was hitting the wings of this one just right. #butterfly #macrophotography #nikon #abqbiopark #nature #stunday

My attempt at a classy pose next to a random person's stateroom... 😂 #SelfieSunday #dcl #SouthwesternStyle #bvlgari #VacationPhotos

Pearl's sassiness has reached a new level. 😼 #petphotography #petportrait #catsofbluesky #tongue #sassy #cat

Watching birds fly always makes me so calm... Captured these ones near the Bosque. #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #clearsky #bosque #highdesert #newmexico

I often wonder what goes on in Cooper's brain... #Caturday #blueeyes #Siamese #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #catsofbluesky

Cathedral of Notre Dame in Reims - The Gothic architecture was awe-inspiring! #BlueSkyArtShow #Arch #Cathedral #France #Reims #NotreDameReims #Champagne #TravelPhotography #Architecture

Underground tunnel leading to the champagne cellars at Billecart-Salmon. It was wild to me how humid it was in the cellars! #MarchIntoLandscapes #tunnel #champagne #billecartsalmon #travelphotography

'A Foggy Day in Champagne' ~ I took this picture out of the car window as we headed to a tasting. Definitely gave off spooky vibes! #MarchIntoLandscapes #eerie #champagne #fog #countryside

Happy #BlueSkyMonday! Focusing on branches that are swaying in the breeze continues to be a challenge for me. 🙃 #MacroMonday #bosque #highdesert #macro #nikon

The waterfall at the Sasebo Japanese Garden in the ABQ Biopark is so calm and relaxing to visit. It's the perfect place to bring a book and hang out for a while! #Stunday #EastCoastKin #waterfall #relax #pond #japanesegarden #abqbiopark

Here is a photo of Pearl looking at me with a little less contempt. 😅 I guess I need to supply more salmon treats... #caturday #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #greyeyes #cateye #cat

Exploring the caves at Maison Pommery was so fun! We were self-guided, so it was a little creepy, but it was really nice to tour at our own speed. #BlueSkyArtShow #TheJourney #champagne #caves #travelphotography #Reims #Pommery #colorful

For #Scape day, I created a timelapse video leaving Ponta Delgada, Portugal. I took the opportunity to compose a quick little piano piece to go with it. Hope you enjoy! 🎼 #landscape #timelapse #travel #EastCoastKin #Portugal #azores #pontadelgada #dcl youtu.be/d65chjsYZNE?...

Pearl is ready for spring! She loves to watch the birds out of the windows. I spy a photo by @swphotographer.bsky.social in the background! #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #catsofbluesky #greyeyes #nikon #cat

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This was the only picture I could find with green in it that haven't posted already. 😅 Caught some leaves in the backyard holding some snow a few weeks ago. #green #thewildimages #macro #snow #winter #foliage #macrolens

The vines at Clos St. Hilaire changing to their autumnal colors. It was very interesting to learn about the biodynamic growing process being used by Billecart-Salmon at this specific vineyard. #MarchIntoLandscapes #Dying #champagne #billecartsalmon #France #travel #biodynamicwine #grapevine #autumn

Cooper loves to look elegant during music lessons. #catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #classycat #pianocat #musiclessons #caturday #blueeyes
