Yes, they truly are! Beautiful capture.

Vertical photograph in color with the muted tones of a foggy morning; a gravel road leads us into the frame from the bottom. The sun appears bright white as it shines through thick fog above; pale blue sky is visible in the top left where the sun has cleared the vapor. The sun is reflected in a large, still puddle in the road at the bottom of the scene. Green, grassy fields roll into the distance; a partial line of trees is visible in the background on the right and, further back, disappearing into the mist are more trees at the horizon line. In the foreground, tips of a tree's branches frame the view on the right. The scene emotes a soft, content, and peaceful beginning to the day and allows us to forget the troubles of the day for one silent moment.

Two Suns : : Reflecting on a puddle in a gravel road on a foggy summer morning.Potholes are bothersome, yes, but this one at the place where forest meets field is wonderfully picturesque after a rain.Most photographed driveway puddle ever.

Grr. The framing business never fully corrected after pandemic supply issues and now this rolls into town…

That truly is odd. Might be cost effective to get full sheets through a local framer and have them cut to size.

Friend of mine is a picture framer and fine art gallery owner. She’s feeling the sting of tariffs in the price of acid free mats, glass, and some mouldings. She’s forced to adjust her pricing and customers are complaining.

Bella's bat is wonderful! And that project is too.

All of these windows are beautiful! I agree, MM is a gorgeous place and I've seen the Chihuly ceiling which is worth the price of admission- these panes must have been installed more recently. Thanks for sharing!

Gin + Tonic with raspberry garnish from the garden.

That's a beautiful pane. I need to swing by MM and have a look at it.

For sure.

My dad had a fondness for Cadillacs. I do too, now that I'm older and I still remember how smooth of a ride those vintage land-yachts are. I can't imagine driving such a large car these days!

People who tell you to be yourself always think you’re someone else

Monochrome image of a paddle-wheel boat docked on the side of a river. The air is very foggy, giving it a feeling of floating with barely a difference between air and water aside from the boat's reflection on the water's surface. Kanawha River, West Virginia, US.

Grrrl, you're beautiful!

Wonderful artist. Thanks for the intro!

For those unfamiliar with the term, scanography is made by using a flatbed scanner to capture and create a digitized image of 3-dimensional objects. I used to have access to one at my old job and had a lot of fun scanning all sorts of things like creepy dolls, plants, holiday decorations, old gloves... It's fun to find new ways to create imagery! Image description: Monochrome image consisting of punched-out circles and the material surrounding the holes. Flat, rectangular sheets of this material are placed overlapping each other and at a diagonal line within the frame, creating repeated alternating black and white circular fragments. I see this image as alternating in these ways: black/white, light/dark, positive/negative, mass/void, circular/linear.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow prompt is #Alternating, which caused me to consider a lot –– it's cool to see how everyone creatively interpreted the word. More in ALT text.

So true!

Beautiful image- so vibrant and refreshing. I like that you included your patterned tumbler and cup of vinaigrette.

Thanks. It was a beautiful morning!

Vertical color photo of a very large mushroom in the moss next to the base of a cedar tree. The photo was taken from the slope below the mushroom, showing its cap edge, gills, stem, and skirt. It's a pale tan color with whitish gills. The background is filled with trees and bits of blue sky peeking through the green leaves.

#ForestFriday, #FungusFriday, and #Scape day today! Had a walk on this steamy hot morning. Found a huge amanita– I love that wavy, upturned cap and skirt. The cap was larger than the palm of my hand.

I'm 6+ decades old and I still chase down insects and investigate interesting things I find along the way. Yes, I get weird stares but others sometimes join in because I've silently given them permission to unleash their own whimsy. Do it!

Its just starting...will get worse from here

That's the most wholesome thing I've heard in a while

Macro view of a Dayflower. It's a tiny, interesting blossom born on the end of a stem with sparse leaves which look like wide blades of grass. The blossom is made up of two bright, clear blue petals and one green below. Pistils and stamen are curled and extending out of the center.
