Some mornings are easier than others …
As the morning mist retreats it leaves the waterway bright and reflective as blue sky arrives.

Good morning! Two things I enjoy in this world are coffee and art. Here’s an interesting article about an artist named Giulia Bernardelli, who embraces both. Something to read with your cup of java. ☕️

For some people, drinking coffee is an integral part of the day, while others enjoy savoring it only from time to time. Giulia Bernardelli decided to use her beloved beverage as a medium for her paint...

A path through city park, two women with hats sitting on one of a row of park benches, two benches over a gentleman. Ducks and gulls and Pigeons approaching the women, probably hoping to be fed.

#sunrise #eastcoastkin #photography #nature #islandlife #westcoast #ALTpoetry #tidepool #love
On the edge of a tidepool, the morning sun sits. Nestled in its bed of stone, glowing in tangerine bliss. A stillness saturates the shoreline, a calming coastline confidence. The universe's beauty reflected, projecting powerful prominence.

One tree uprooted to a storm, the other still standing strong.

#EastCoastKin #Tree #SensoryArt #Lines #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVowels (uprooted) #LandscapePhotography #Hiking
Black and white image of two eucalyptus trees. One has uprooted and fallen over facing downhill. The other tree is still standing. The uprooted tree's trunk width is as tall as I am, if not taller, and the roots are a large tangled mass. The sky has small spotty clouds. Located at the dual trailhead for King Trail and Mariposa Trail at Madonna Rd., Irish Hills, San Luis Obispo, California.

La Jolla, California

The wave breaks. The wind lifts. And still, the journey continues.
One wing, one breath, one moment held.
You feel the horizon lean closer, steady in its embrace.

In the kitchen: My grain grinder and a handful of freshly ground flour. 🍞🥖We left California to move to the middle of the US in the 1990s (family reasons). I couldn't find good flour here so I started making my own. Really improves the flavor of baked goods so I continued.👩‍🍳
A white grain grinder on a kitchen counter. The hopper is half full of wheat berries and there is a quart canning jar half full of grain on the right. My hand is holding a scoop of whole wheat flour.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Long Knife Peak the tallest peak on the US side of the Border Mountain Range Glacier National Park

It’s reflected perfectly in Kintla Lake where the world folds in half
#mountains #scape #landscape #artyear #eastcoastkin #kayak
Drifting in a kayak on Kintla Lake at sunset , Long Knife Peak rose across the water like a serrated crest catching the last of the day’s light. The western sun angled low, striking the ridge and turning its blade-like edges a warm gold while the slopes below settled into deep blues and greens. The reflection stretched across the still lake, the shapes of the cliffs softening into wavering bands of color that followed every tiny movement of my kayak. The dark line of standing timber reaching toward the point where the mountain’s shadow touched the water. Farther out, the whole scene held a sense of evening settling in — not dramatic, just steady, the kind of calm that lets the peaks show their contours without hurry. The lake, the light, and Long Knife Peak all aligned for a moment, and from the surface of Kintla it felt like I was paddling through a mirror that led straight into the mountain’s face.

A thick-rooted Ficus altissima stands in soft sunlight, its tangled base stretching toward a shimmering stream and tiered waterfall, all set within rich, vibrant jungle greenery.

Omens, Verrès. The photo (taken by Claudio) shows a small blonde woman wearing jeans and a black hoodie, standing next to a large tree in an autumn landscape. In the background are other trees, mountains, and a blue sky.

Emirates Airlines airplane at the airport.

Looking at an Emirates Airlines jet at the airport through a terminal window covered with raindrops. The raindrops are more in focus than the airplane, leaving the plane and its name (Emirates) blurry. The sky is gray.

Alone.

A silhouetted woman sitting alone on a bench alongside a wide trail. The landscape is minimal, mostly dirt and gravel. There is light fog in the area which obscures objects in the distance, giving a minimalistic look. Near the trailhead on Cerro San Luis, San Luis Obispo, California.

🤔 Not certain I understand this week's #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVowels, but that's never stopped me before...

Abstemious...Did you know the word "abstemious" contains all the vowels, in alphabetical order? This guy strikes me as being abstemious.

In a passageway between streets, a man sits on a bench, looking through some papers on his lap. The passageway is painted light blue, and give way, through an arch, to a stone building with wooden doors, windows with rails and flower pots.

For today's #MacroMonday I'm sharing a photograph I took an hour ago. I really like the color, light, curves, & textures in this. I'm likely to do a B&W of this too 😀
