Mondnacht über der Stadt
2025
Zwei Bäume vor einer nächtlichen Skyline. Darüber ein nächtlicher Sternenhimmel, an dem das Mondlicht durch Wolken scheint.

sunset in the distance with the sky colored golden over the horizon and pink higher above, with some dark silhouettes of a couple of leafless trees and low rise buildings in the foreground

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar here's my drawing of a Badger. This one took quite some time and I still think his eyes look a bit wonky but he was a lovely subject to draw.

Happy Tuesday everyone! 🕊️

#Mammals #Art #Nature #Badgers #Drawing #EastCoastKin
A coloured pencil drawing of a European badger. A head and shoulder view as he appears from the left, staring straight to the viewer. The background is mostly pastel creating a slightly mottled texture in shades of beige and green. Drawn on a light grey pastel mat paper.

There comes a quiet moment, unannounced, when you realize certain doors have closed - not slammed, but gently, with time. It brings a mixed feeling of grief, acceptance and wistful reflection: the understanding that some chapters won’t be written because time simply moved on… 1/2

An Eagle, a Raven, and Crows
A morning meal shared with tensions aside, temporarily.
Attracting attention, more gather with hopes of joining soon.
Three diners of different spirit, eat together in truce.

on the plastic, wire tree hangs a reindeer (it's plastic too),
clear acrylic ornament that lets the mini-lights shine through
-- all fake, in a way, but everything's reusable

The wind tidied things up nicely around the pond 📷 🍂…
Around the tree reflected pond the leaves were draped around the perimeter as if by design.

Passing clouds frame the distant sight of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, toward the end of summer. The Buffalo Fork river appears nearby. August 2025.

Passing clouds frame the distant sight of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, toward the end of summer. The Buffalo Fork river appears nearby, reflecting the sky. The far mountains look grey, blue and white. The grounds close by have a mix of brown-green grass and pine trees.

A traditional Chinese restaurant with red-trimmed tile roofs and red lanterns sits on a stone foundation beside a rushing mountain stream in Wulonggou, Sichuan. The rustic building is surrounded by dense green forest covering misty mountain slopes, with a bright yellow autumn tree beside the structure. Water cascades over large rocks in the creek, while lush vegetation and ferns grow along the banks

your coat brushes mine
along the narrow pavement
and I consider
