A beautiful autumn bouquet in a tall clear glass vase tied with a burgundy string. The bouquet of golden lilies, large yellow chrysanthemums, small burgundy and gold chrysanthemums and sage green eucalyptus is set on a dark wood table. A white drape forms the background.

Be environmentally conscious,

Sunlight highlights a bumblebee on a large yellow sunflower. Its iridescent wing and the yellow hairs on its body stand out against the amber color center of the flower. Yellow petals highlighted with sunshine frame the image.

This image captured from high on Mount Kobau, in southern British Columbia, is of a sacred place "Spotted Lake" , known as Lake Khiluk in the Nsyilcan language. This well known saline endorheic alkali lake contains mineral deposits that appear as spots on the lake. Minerals I the water become more concentrated as the lake water evaporates with summer heat and display colourful spots on the lake. This image shows the lake surrounded by golden grasslands, accented by coniferous trees that are set against a backdrop of rocky hills and a peek-a-boo view of the town of Osoyoos, BC far down below.

High on Mount Kobau, in southern BC Canada, one can partake in incredible views like this one that looks south towards Washington USA. This image is of golden grasslands with a few large craggy boulders reaching into a deep green coniferous forest that blends with distant mountains that reach up into low clouds and a clear blue sky. Far below in the valley, barely visible, is the areas famous "Spotted Lake" known as Lake Khiluk in the Nsyilxcan language.

My third attempt at acrylic painting. My take on the reference image provided by instructor R. F. - the goal to bring light into a painting. Morning light streams through still trees that are partially obscured in the background. A branch with spring green leaves highlighted by the sun drapes into a field where a dilapidated fence of old wooden posts and wires can be seen. The sunlight plays on the golden grasses, and the disintegrating leaves still there from the past autumn. Black shadows border the edges of the field.

An incredible sunset highlights a gold autumn grassland high on Sterling Mountain in the Similkameen Valley. The autumn scene shows a deep green coniferous forest against a backdrop of misty mountain tops, delicate Cirrus clouds with a partially obscured golden sun, and a sunlit golden grassland that disappears into the forest.

#photography #photo #Nordurljos #SBE/Nia #winter #scene #canvas #Penticton #BC #Canada
A winter scene that I shot in Penticton a couple years ago. This is a 24 by 36 inch canvas that I had printed for my home office The day was light overcast with only glints of sun reflected in the scene. Okanagan Lake appears like a grey slurry as a result of the freezing temperature. Some ice floats on the surface, brought in by the waves, and snow highlights the old wooden breakwater, and covers the nearby rocky shoreline. Mountains are visible in the distance, and a dark green coniferous tree and rusty orange willow shoots provide a touch of colour in the winter image.

A sharp, rocky sunlit pinnacle of the mountain range reaches upwards towards the nimbostratus cloud covered sky. The mountain is above the tree line and extends downward to a partially visible silvery lake, where some deep green vegetation can be observed, surrounded by what appears to be stone coloured glacial ice.

A soft yellow green bird, with a rust colored crest and a beak trimmed in black, sits, with her head turned to the right, on a snow covered Ponderosa Pine tree branch. Snow is gently falling around her, and a snow covered coniferous forest provides a beautiful backdrop. This acrylic painting of a female Cardinal is the fine work of Robert Bateman, and renowned Canadian naturalist and painter "Winter Lady" Circa 1983

A winter scene taken on Main Street in Penticton, BC in December 2024. Icy snow lines the edge of the street, and surrounds the line of trees planted on the boulevard. Holiday lights are wrapped around the lit street lamps, and sparkle with colour farther down the street from a barely visible light tunnel. The sky is slightly overcast with some light clouds, or mist over buildings at the end of the street nearer to Lake Okanagan. Not an unpleasant winter day.

Last night, I came across several poems that I wrote when I was a child. Sadly, my childhood book of poems went missing when we moved when I was in my early teens. This is one of those poems: interestingly, I noted that I did not mention the maple leaf. Strange 🤔 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

#poetry #poem #Canada #flag
A childhood poem about the Canadian flag, a flag that is white with a red side bar on each side and a red maple leaf in the centre. A poem that I wrote in 1965. Oddly, I never mentioned the maple leaf, which is a symbol of Canada.

A dark day for democracy, one in direct opposition to the values of M.L.K. 😞

Actually, the fall of America begins today;
an America that will now be controlled by broligarchs , technocrats, and billionaires, an America that is not for all of the people, just for a select few who plan to profit off of America while the average American descends into poverty.
