An old soul living in the desert. Enjoying the painted skies over Sombrero Peak and the alpenglow over on the Catalinas. I enjoy reading, photography, gardening, my dogs, music, and learning.

All photos are my own, unless RP.

forest watching reveals an acceptance of change and a masterpiece that forever remains unfinished

#environment #nature #photography #change #acceptance #art
Don't grieve the loss of this fallen tree for its time has passed and it is becoming something new beneath a velvet blanket of moss. Ivy itches beneath the limbs promising additional growth in the days to come. Tall sentry trees stand cover in the early morning mist. They know that a birth of change is unfolding. There is no question of acceptance, it is now

Welcome to February.

January saw us have 4 named storms within 5 weeks in south west England. Not cold so much as extremely wet. And now everything is dank. Really dank.

The river Dart on such a morning.

“To walk beneath open sky is to remember that life is larger than its troubles.”-John Muir
This image shows a dramatic sunrise filling most of the frame with color and light, while the land below remains in deep shadow. The lower portion of the scene is almost entirely black, forming the silhouettes of rolling hills and forested ridgelines. Pine trees stand out as jagged, uneven shapes against the sky, with a few individual trees clearly visible—one taller tree near the center and larger branches framing the right edge of the image. No details are visible on the ground itself; it appears still and quiet, before the sun has reached it. Above the dark horizon, the sky is layered with thick clouds that stretch across the entire scene. The clouds are painted in intense colors: deep reds, fiery oranges, and bright coral tones dominate the lower sky, while higher clouds shift into pinks, purples, and soft lavender. These colors blend and overlap, creating a textured, almost brushed appearance, as if the sky were layered with wide strokes of paint. The light is strongest near the horizon, where glowing orange and red clouds suggest the sun is just below or barely touching the edge of the land. Higher in the sky, the colors cool gradually, transitioning into purples and muted blues. The clouds vary in thickness—some appear dense and glowing, while others are thinner and more translucent. Overall, the image conveys warmth and intensity above a calm, shadowed landscape. The contrast between the dark, silent land and the vivid, colorful sky emphasizes the moment just before full daylight, when the world is still but the sky is already alive with color.

For #stunday, a pic of the Red Rock Trail on the Jemez Pueblo Reservation in New Mexico, during a slight break in the rain (2025). Light's not perfect, but the rock colors! #landscape #scape #landscapephotography #NewMexico #nature #desert #southwest #nativeamerica #pueblos #Jemez #EastCoastKin

From the icefields down in #Patagonia, #Argentina near El Calafate, the bergs on the edge of the water have that cold look of #frost for #FebruArty2026.

Boulder group run this am 🏃‍♂️. In solidarity for those unjustly killed by ICE.
Woman speaking into bullhorn to a crowd of people, at the corner of Broadway and Maxwell in Boulder, Colorado. People running on street and sidewalks through residential neighborhood, in protest of inhumane ICE activity. People running near the University Bicycles bike shop in Boulder, Colorado. People gathered on grass lawn of Greenleaf Park at the finish of the anti-ICE group run. A few deciduous trees are in the background, with the Boulder Flatirons rock formations in the distance. Blue sky above with a large white cloud.
