Goodnight and peace to all 🌱🌿🍃

The sun setting on the horizon. Foreground is the beach with several large pieces of kelp washed ashore with the upper edge of the pieces highlighted. The beach in near full sunset with the sun reflecting on the newest wave to come to shore. Mid photo shows new layers of waves approaching shore with the sun casting pink, purple, orange and yellow highlights across the waves and beach. The sun just before going below the horizon looks so tiny in comparison to the beauty it is sending into the sky in all directions. A yellow fanned ray is coming off the very top of the sun while orange, pink and soft purple rays glow out from each side of the setting sun and go horizontally across the top of the ocean.

Fresnel lens

Conversation with 2 1/2 year old at lighthouse museum where there is a fresnel lens on display. He had a small vocabulary. He was quietly looking at everything and went up to the fresnel lens and put his little hands on each side of it and just said, “TIME MACHINE” and walked away. 🤣

Close up photo I took of a fresnel lens. Multiple lenses in curved shapes reflecting every color of the rainbow. Very beautiful to see all the colors in it and move around it to see different reflections. Used in lighthouses and other uses. Very powerful reflections. Read up on them. Quite fascinating.

Deer under the piñon

They enjoy the safety under the piñon. Have to watch out for them year round. Zoom to see three deer taking shelter. Didn’t see them at first. Surprised I didn’t spook them.

Colorado

Three deer taking shelter under the snow covered piñon pines. Cold temps under 40° at night expected all week so the deer will start coming more to the lower areas out of the higher mountains.

💔He is lovingly remembered by many even though we never met him. Another one of those heartbreaking moments in the world that touches compassionate hearts. It spurs good hearts to work harder to share kindness and compassion to all people.

Aspen logs and piñon pines in the snow

Near the Collegiate Peaks
Colorado

The photo almost looks like a black and white with the snow on the piñons. The light browns of the aspen logs in the pile showing on the right side of the photo give it away. Only dead trees are collected for firewood in either pine or aspen. Aspen logs burn faster, hotter and cleaner than pine logs. The clouds above and behind hide a mountain range to the east. The piñons create privacy and still allow one to see the mountains whereas tall pines hide the scenery sometimes.

The sky after the snow

The Collegiate Peaks
Colorado

Post snow sky above the Collegiate Peaks. Snow covered peaks sit under the pink sky filled with pink, blue grey and nearly purple clouds playing at sunset. Some blue sky peeks out too.

Piñon up close
(Also called pinyon pine)

Colorado

Piñon or pinyon pine tree in snow close to the Collegiate Peaks. The dark trucks are often twisted in various shapes while still growing upwards. The nuts and cones are very sticky. The deer like to lay under the trees in the snow. Pinyon trees are drought resistant.

Stairs and hallways
Brown Palace Hotel
Denver, Colorado

Managed to get a people free pic of the interior open levels of hallways and stairs at the famous Brown Palace Hotel. A few lower archways can be seen in the lower right of the photo. Had a girls day out for tea. Quite tasty and interesting. Had never been there before. Some interesting reads about the hotel can be found on line and in books if you are so inclined. There is a suite dedicated to the Beatles who stayed there in August 1964 before their concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. It is carved out of beautiful red rocks in the foothills west of Denver.

There are several. I think the one here in the museum is retired. Very cool though 🌿🌱🍃🤗

Again, a big thank you to all who take a gander at my posts and like or repost.
Yesterday someone said that people might not be interested in my posts. I am not a political analyst, lawyer or professional photographer. I post from my heart to bring a bit of joy. They did apologize so 🩵💙💜

Junk journal tag

See ALT for process

Recycled chipboard cut into a tag shape. Corners rounded on bottom and top edges angled. The board is covered with large decorative washi tape before the shape is cut. I usually add lined journal paper on the back to add writing space to the piece. All edges of the tag are inked to add an antiqued junk journal look to it. I use all parts of recycled board. The little brown circles under and around the tag are what I punch out to use on portfolio closures as mentioned in my previous post. Nothing goes to waste.

It was awesome and playful 🤗 Hope your day was pleasant too 🍃🌿🌱🩵
