#Caturday

I'm putting up the Christmas tree and my 6-month old cat is already making himself at home up in the branches. 😆

Good morning, Susan! ☕✨

I put up the tree yesterday and Olly immediately climbed it. 😱 Fortunately it didn't tip over (thank goodness he's still relatively small and lightweight)! Today the ornaments go on. 🤔

Have a wonderful cozy and relaxing day, my friend. ☕✨📚

One of the most incredible sunsets I have ever witnessed. 2016 archives. No filters. Nature’s divine colour palette

Good morning friends! It’s a balmy 25 degrees outside and there’s some ice on the cove. Here’s today’s #SunriseMagic on the #CTShoreline with some #clouds I hope you have a wonderful day! Go outside if you can! #landscape #photography #reflections
Scattered gray clouds hovering over the cove and in the distance is golden light from the sun rising. In the distance there is ice on the water. The sky and landscape are reflecting on the calm waters.

What are you doing today?
A bright, breezy beach scene with low green dune plants scattered across pale sand in the foreground. Gentle waves roll onto the shore beneath a deep blue ocean, and the sky above is clear and vivid with soft, scattered clouds. The watermark “julesk.store” sits in the lower left corner.

A thick patch of bright yellow flowers fills the frame, surrounded by deep green leaves. Soft vertical streaks of golden light create a dreamy, blurred effect, as if the flowers are glowing or gently swaying. The background of trees and foliage is visible but hazy, giving the whole scene a warm, painterly feel.

Glimpse of the sea through draped curtains. The room is dark except for a lamp on a table on the right. The whole room has a warm orange glow contrasting to the cold look of outside

A rise of moon on an autumn sky. I came out ready for a full night of astro, but once again the weather won… and somehow still offered me this quiet moment. #warmth #blueskyartshow
Warm-toned long-exposure moonrise with blurred clouds, silhouetted trees, and a wooden multi-direction sign in the foreground.

The warmth of holiday lights and traditions.

#EastCoastKin #ChristmasLights #ChristmasTree
A dark green Christmas tree is in the foreground and occupies most of the image. It has round, colorful bulbs hanging and small colored lights that glow in the soft light. There are more white icicle lights hanging from the top of a large window. The space around the small white lights is a warm glow in juxtaposition to the cool blue tint (blue hour) outside. To the right is a antique wooden table, which blends in with the warmth of the hardwood floor.

A giant, intense sun pillar making the sky look as if it's on fire. A false impression of #warmth for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme.

Sun pillars form when there are ice crystals in the atmosphere so in reality it was cold.

The warm glow of light from this gallery is very alluring.

#EastCoastKin #ArtGallery #Dubrovnik
An art gallery's arched doors are open on a dark night. The warm light draws you in, as does the artwork shown on the walls and propped up around the room. Outside, it is dark, and small cafe tables and chairs are set up. Above the arched doorway is a strand of small blue lights. Dubrovnik, Croatia.
