We’ve had a little family of Grosbeaks at our feeders this summer. It’s been fun to watch the fledglings with mom and dad. They make the most interesting whistling sound. Soon they will leave to head to Mexico. I’ll miss them. First video is dad feeding a fledgling, and the second is mom. Sound up!

I loved painting this #autumn scene, inspired by a visit to Saint Mary's College of California. A watercolor for the #BlueSkyArtShow. 🍂 Original available at Moraga Art Gallery in the #BayArea. 🎨 moragaartgallery.com #art #watercolor #nature #landscape #November
It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Today’s theme for #BlueskyArtShow is #Relax, and that’s just what I’m doing. Heavy rain here today with snow in the mountains so I’m home enjoying coffee with my love, listening to music. Perfect- like the light hitting this mountain. #nature #photography #art #eastcoastkin #travel #photography
I’m sharing photos again after very sporadic posts over the last few months. I didn’t see the point, but now I have a renewed desire to share art, at least for now. It doesn’t mean I’m ignoring what’s happening in this country. It saddens and angers me daily.
Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good. “To Come Home To Yourself”

I used my 400mm lens to isolate this colorful scene as the beautiful light was hitting the mountain. I love the mix of maples, aspens, and understory. Happy tree Thursday everyone! Is that a thing? 🤷🏻♀️ #trees #autumn #art #travel #mountains #eastcoastkin #fallvibes #naturephotography #nature
