House Finches are abundant at my house this spring! This handsome fellow perched on a branch mere feet away from me, and was kind enough to let me get a few shots in. I love the bold energy of spring birds... #birds #spring #naturephotography

I'm starting a new series of prints inspired by my deep love of our national parks and of retro signs/architecture. Here's the first print from a photo taken yesterday in Asheville, NC. #nps #BlueRidgeParkway #brp #wnc #mountains #appalachians #photography #cyanotype #blueart

A very early heron and its interesting for me to see the difference between then and now. Has a nice simplicity. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #birds #birdart #watercolorbirds

I've never seen a Pileated with such light plumage. Is this a juvenile? πŸͺΆ

Gorgeous! Also, is it strange that I love your sig placement lol? I always sign the back of my art because hiding things in plain sight is a struggle.

Good morning, good evening!

The humblest, most ordinary things nature has to offer are still so marvellous. Even weeds are wonderful.

Here is a dandelion photographed in #infrared (L) and in #UV (R).

A pair of nautical cyanotype prints laying on a white table. One shows a tin of sardines, the other, mackerels and anchovy fish.

I may have just sparked a mild obsession for nautical-themed cyanos.

Sharing my love of the sky today for Valentine's Day! Lovely cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds have greeted me at my front door all this week. Even spotted a solar halo on my morning walk today. #clouds #cirrus #sky #skyscape #weather #naturephotography #blueridgemountains #valentine

This is #scicomm at its most effective. And although it is indeed a travesty that headlines like this (climate-related and otherwise) are merely met with yawns, your work is nonetheless essential!

Please pardon my recent quiet...I've been hibernating and coming up with fresh designs for spring. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ

I, too, am new to BlueSky (and post inconsistently πŸ™ƒ), so I'm right there with you. But art challenges, photos, and hashtags seem to work well so far.

Does anyone else get the "New Year blues" come January? Trying to keep them at bay with some new cyano projects... #cyanotype #art #fish
