When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.

After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack

Here’s the process I used to create “Walk in the Woods”. I saw a similar birch painting and loved the chaos of ripped tape for tree shapes. Will do more of these. #watercolor #trees #forests #painting #nature #art #centralpa #susquehannavalley #centralpaart #centralpaartists

“Walk in the Woods” ~ a birch forest I painted Sunday morning; 8x11 inches, watercolor on paper. I was thinking about this for some time and tried a new process instead of the one I used for my Cherry Blossom panting. #watercolor #birchtree #painting #nature #centralpa #susquehannavalley

More scenes from the #OuterBanks from July. Various landscapes along the Pamlico Sound in Salvo, NC. #landscapephotography #sunsets #obx #photography #beaches

Yellow benches on a pier jutting from marsh grasses with purple storm clouds over the Pamlico Sound.

A boy with a fishing pole walks along the Pamlico Sound shore grasses with an orange, blue, pink cloudy sunset.

The sun sets into the Pamlico Sound silhouetting some clouds in an orange sky as a fishing boat motors along the horizon, and a gull soars with foreground grasses.

“Firefly Star Dance” Firefly and star trail photos last night in the back yard. The stacked images rep 2 hours. This is only second time I’ve photographed lightning bugs successfully. Fun to chill with a camera, beers and the light show! #fireflyphotos #fireflies #nightphotography #startrails

"Sunset Patio in March" ~ As the chill of winter eases away, warm sunsets silhouette the naked trees and blush the clouds floating by, offering up orange and purple bliss refractions.
