#BlueSkyArtShow Throughout human history, #Fire has been a source of #Warmth A project from 2022, capturing matches as they explode in flames. The alt text has more info.

A bunch of wooden stick matches explode in orange, red, yellow, blue, pink and purple flames against a black background. The soft light swirls around the blackened match heads, fractions of seconds in time. Timing and white balance creates the magical rainbow of colors and shutter speed and aperture created the depth and motion of the explosion. Setting the camera within inches of the matches, I used my left hand to ignite them with a long lighter and I used my right hand to plunge the shutter release as the chain reaction occurred. This project used several thousand matches over weeks of daily shoots. 4-5 hours a shoot to set up, focus and photograph something so common we never watch, in awe. This is but one of the many images I created during this campaign. I even made a Spotify playlist called Matches which was the soundtrack to the series.

The sun peaks through a tree leaving shadows on the sidewalk that runs along the lakefront, which is bright yellow from the sun. Behind the tree are silhouettes of bushes and the ground is covered with grass, turned yellow and orange from the sun. Another tree sits in the shadows on the left. The sky is pale blue.

Two cats lounge together on a window seat, the afternoon sun casts lights and shadows across them. Freddie, the smaller orange cat looks off to the left as Neko, the dark tortoise shell cat looks off to the right. There are trees and a blue sky seen through the sheer curtains behind them.

This last few days I have been planting the tulips that flower in Spring to bring hope to our house. Their warming glow is the official symbol of Parkinson’s. Pictures like this help in the cold months ahead.

A blue terracotta pot overflows with orange and purple coloured tulips on a red brick area in front of a house. The plant’s light green leaves spill over the edge of the pot. The picture was taken in April. It has now been emptied and replanted with new bulbs for next year.

The season makes me feel all cozy and it’s my favorite all year.

The river in Washington, NC turned to gold as the sunset broke through the fog. A silhouette on the dock captured it, but the sky felt almost too bright to belong to Earth.
#Photo #PhotoOfTheDay #NorthCarolina #WashingtonNC #BlueSkyArtShow #Warmth
Radiance spills across the sky as the sunset over Washington, North Carolina ignites the river in waves of gold, crimson, and soft violet haze. Mist drifts close to the water’s surface, blurring the horizon into a dreamy gradient while the last light fans upward like glowing wings. On the right side of the frame, a lone photographer stands at the edge of a dock, silhouetted against the brilliance, capturing the moment before it slips away. The calm water mirrors every flame-like streak in the sky, giving the scene a surreal symmetry that feels both peaceful and electrifying. It’s a quiet, breath-holding kind of beauty—one of those fleeting evenings where the world slows down long enough to remind you why these moments matter.

Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. The color of the water indicates the water temperature as certain bacteria grow in the different temps. The warm orange bacterial mats grow in the relatively cool runoff water.

The blue green waters of grand prismatic spring give way to streaky orange bacterial mats.

Happy Thanksgiving in the US! Here's a turkey portrait that I did several years ago. He looks like a critter that I wouldn't want to annoy today. #Thanksgiving #BirdArt
Soft pastel artwork of a turkey's head in three quarter view looking to the viewer's right on a beige background. The turnkey has pale blue around the brown eye and vivid red wattles.

At water's edge, leaves drown
in eternal baptism or float in the shadows of what they once were.
Birth & burial. River & root.
The water accepts fallen leaves like confessions.
Absolves sin into silt.
A solemn graveside service.

Probably the last opportunity of the season to capture flower and insects. Here a European hornet on an ivy flower.
No risk of being attacked, the hornet is too busy building reserves for the winter.
A close-up macro photograph of a hornet perched on a cluster of small green buds, showing its yellow and reddish body, detailed wings, and textured head. The background is softly blurred, making the insect and plant sharply stand out.

A large feathery rather spreading vapour trail or cloud, tinged with a pink glow from the setting sun. There are darker denser grey clouds on the right above the silhouetted tree tops.

When I am not at work, I try (although this year...) to maintain my sanity by wandering around with a camera, taking bad photos at random.
