Summer has been full! Travels, visitors, camping. Right at the beginning of summer we traveled to New England for my college reunion and then visited family in Vermont. Took this overlooking Lake Champlain.

Pass it on. I don’t know this person, just helping someone pay their bills with their art.

Right, less than 3 days to get rent together, plus I'll need to order in more boxes for next week's orders.

Who's looking for a little magic? This beauty is in need of a home:

This shot always conjures #joy for me. My daughter’s wet footprints on a gorgeous Fall day in #Vermont.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.

Hurricane Irene caused damage as far North as Massachusetts. Mostly significant flooding.
Empty liquor bottles lay among muddy debris after flood waters recede.

Lines made by light is a frequent subject I love to capture. Who else loves morning light “lines”?

Crisp lines of light are cast on the floor through vertical blinds. A potted plant sits on the right.

My mother is in the hospital this morning. It is unclear what’s going on. This photo is from one year ago, but my view is the same as I wait for updates from afar. The waiting, the distance…ouch.

Among my favorite flowers are the lush ranunculus (which also dry beautifully). Even if I find the name less beautiful than the flower.

Late to #blueskyartshow. Spent the day in the garden. 🪏 🪴 🌞

When I saw the prompt was #Earth, I knew it had to be #Utah. There are so many fantastical, other-worldly landscapes in Utah, you think you’ve left earth. 🧐

Teal is one of my favorite colors. Of all things that produced this natural color? Red cabbage. 🧐

One of my favorites, taken on the pond at #smithcollege 2007. I was the only one there, and the pond was still and quiet.

A young girl stands on a rock outcrop atop a mountain, overlooking a hazy city. Her figure is in silhouette and she is posed with hands in fun positions at shoulder height. She is back-lit by a blue sky with white clouds.

Siena Duomo, Italy.

Of all the historical architecture I’ve seen, this is among my favorites. The black and white marble constructed into perfect stripes is stunning.

Moody Mountains ⛰️

The day I took this, the sky over the mountains was changing every few minutes.

Family road trip to see The Big 5 (highly recommend).

National Parks are a treasure, let’s protect them.
