This is my art and photo account. I have made a second account @canavart2.bsky.social for politics, opinion, games, etc.

I'll try to keep the content separate!

Such a humble starting point for most of the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen.

A walk around some woodland I drive past regularly was welcome when the weather didn’t align with my hopes. It wasn’t particularly spectacular but I did manage a couple of frames showing Autumn colours coming through, with lovely tones of orange and yellow.

“West Spanish Peak”

A fallen tree leads the eye toward the quiet power of West Spanish Peak yesterday afternoon—its slopes dark with pine, its summit etched against the cloudy blue sky.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #LandscapePhotography #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #Fujifilm

A weathered log lies in the golden grass of a high meadow beneath West Spanish Peak in southern Colorado. The mountain rises steeply on the left, its gray slopes marked by deep shadows that fall toward a dense forest of evergreen trees. Above, a dramatic sky stretches across the frame, streaked with clouds that shift from pale gray near the horizon to deep cobalt overhead. The log, cracked and sun-bleached, points diagonally toward the horizon, creating a sense of direction and scale amid the vast landscape.
The image feels like a study in endurance and quiet grandeur—where time, weather, and resilience meet. The deadwood’s stillness mirrors the permanence of the peak, both reminders of what remains after the winds have passed.

Not very autumnal yet in this area, but some beautiful trees to be revisited. There was the tiniest hint of mist in the distance; hoping for more!

#Hockeridge #WoodlandPhotography #Berkhamsted #CanonR6II #Autumn

A large tree centre left with some more on the right hand side going into the distance. The big trees are hemlock (I think). There are some ferns on the ground turning orange and some orange leaves visible to the right behind the tree.

A Sora looking for tasty things to eat in the shallow waters. Those long toes disperse the Sora's weight and help the bird walk through the marsh without sinking into the mud.

Looking down a gently winding footpath in a wooded park, some scattered yellow leaves littering the dirt path, green trees above.
