Best dog ever! Sweet,kind, gentle boy. He’s coming up on 14 years … we’re cherishing all the moments.
Black-and-white close-up of an older black Labrador lying with its chin resting on a brick paver patio. Gray whiskers frame its muzzle, and its soft, tired eyes gaze up toward the camera. A second dark dog lies blurred in the background.

Northeast corner of Yosemite.
Black-and-white photo of a rushing mountain stream cascading over large boulders through a forest. White water churns in the foreground and mid-frame, with a big sunlit rock on the right and aspen trunks, some carved with graffiti, framing the left side.

Looking up between red brick buildings at dusk, with a black metal fire escape zigzagging down the right wall and a deep blue sky above. Taller glass and stone buildings rise in the distance.

Black-and-white photo of a vintage roadster bicycle mounted on a wall, tilted at an angle. The bike has a rear rack, mudguards, a chain guard, and a worn leather saddle. A string of lights glows in the upper right, and the textured wall behind it has a rough, weathered look.

A person seen from behind, silhouetted in dark clothing, stands on a gray sandy beach facing the ocean. Footprints trail behind them across the sand, and a backpack rests on a rock in the foreground. Waves wash around a large, dark boulder just ahead, with more rocks rising from the choppy water beyond. The scene is cool-toned and moody under a pale, overcast sky.

A shaded tropical beach viewed from beneath a leafy tree branch, with a single pink leaf among the green. Dark, wet volcanic boulders sit on pale sand in the foreground, with small waves foaming against them. Beyond, turquoise water stretches to the horizon under a partly cloudy blue sky, with a green mountain headland visible at far left.

48 hours out from “Full” still looking spectacular for #BlueSkyMonday.
A nearly full ‘Harvest’ moon hangs in a pale blue daytime sky, its gray craters and maria faintly visible. Wispy white clouds drift across the upper left of the frame.

A dark alpine valley at twilight. A band of deep orange light glows along the horizon between mountain ridges, with a dark cloud layer above. On the right, a wooded hillside holds a village in silhouette, its church steeple and clock tower rising above warmly lit windows and street lamps.

The Harvest Moon in all its glory.
The full Harvest Moon glowing warm orange-brown against a black night sky, its cratered surface — including Tycho's ray system — clearly visible."

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

—Neil Young
A bright full moon glowing through hazy clouds in a night sky, with dark wispy cloud bands drifting across it. Below, the silhouettes of palm trees and saguaro cacti stand against the glowing horizon.

A bit of whimsy with an accidental capture as the second dove ‘photo bombed’ the shot.
Two mourning doves silhouetted against a bright blue sky, perched and flying among sparse, wispy tree branches. One dove sits calmly on a branch while the other flies in from below with wings fully spread.

I have an obsession with outdoor lighting and fire features.
Cozy nighttime patio setup: two glass cylinders filled with tangled strings of warm fairy lights sit in front of a lit tiki torch (bottle-style with a wick), flanked by two tabletop fire bowls with glass beads and small flames. Overhead, a projector casts a starry blue-and-green galaxy pattern across the ceiling.

Black-and-white night photo of a riverside promenade with metal railings and stone steps leading down toward a river. A bridge crosses the water in the background, and two bright streetlights create starburst flares against the dark sky. Reflections of lights ripple on the water's surface.

Black and white photo of a calm lake at water level, with a pine-forested shoreline on the left reflected in the still water. Scattered raindrop ripples dot the surface, and a cloudy sky fills the upper half of the frame.

The ‘Strike It Rich’ blooms now more mature show their dynamic range of colors. They bring the colors of a southwest sunset into one bloom.

Have a beautiful Friday everyone.

Overhead close-up of a golden-orange rose in full bloom, its swirling petals blushed with pink toward the tips, photographed against a softly blurred stone and greenery backdrop.

Looking into the bloom of a ‘Strike It Rich’ rose.
Close-up overhead view of a golden-orange 'Strike It Rich' rose in full bloom, its tightly swirled petals showing warm yellow tones deepening to apricot at the tips, set against blurred green foliage and a stone path in the background.

The wisps are getting more wispy. ☁️🦋
Wispy white cirrus clouds streak across a deep blue sky in long, curving bands that sweep from the upper left toward the right. The clouds are thicker and more billowy on the left side, and they thin into fine, feathery strands against darker blue gaps on the right. A few small puffs of cloud float near the bottom right.

#BlueSkyMonday #Abstractia #Geometric

The first image in blue is a digitally manipulated [AI free] photo. It is derived from a cropping of the original.

The original art piece is shown here also. Details in Alt text. below. I’ve passed the piece often and enjoy it very much. A fantastic artist.
Abstract digital artwork of overlapping spiral and crescent shapes in deep cobalt blue, teal, and slate gray, all winding toward a glowing point at the center. The surfaces look like brushed metal and stone, and a bright lens flare with a thin horizontal streak of light sits at the left. Urban Geometry I use the language of form to distill complex ideas into direct visual representations, abstract and synthetic yet familiar, leaving room for others to bring their own ideas and experience into the work. In a world of digital everything, I want my work to be analogue and to say "made by hand" -refined but not rarified. David N. LeCheminant b. 1962 Inglewood, CA Wood + mixed media 49" x 75" x 4" 2020 A DELTA A framed geometric wall sculpture in a black shadow-box frame, mounted on a textured beige wall. The piece is built from angular wooden shapes (triangles, trapezoids, and quadrilaterals) stained in saturated colors: red, coral, orange, yellow, forest and lime green, cobalt and navy blue, teal, and purple. The pieces sit at slightly different depths, giving the surface a layered, faceted look, and the wood grain shows through the stain. Two thin blue diagonal strips cut across the composition, one running from the upper left toward the right edge and another sweeping from the left side down to the bottom center.
