Fair enough! I don't think I've ever had perry. I am now on a quest to find some... Sounds tasty!

Personal Opinion: No celebration is complete without some champagne. 🥂

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #Champagne #Festive

This is a photograph of a champagne glass filled with champagne. The champagne has a gold color accentuated by the spots of golden lights behind it. The background is filled with spots of light and green colors from a Christmas tree.

I headed up to Durango last weekend to ride the Durango & Silverton Train with @swphotographer.bsky.social . We were so lucky to have amazing weather with very blue skies! My favorite part was seeing the turquoise color of the Animas River.
#MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #CO #Train #Fall #FallColors

This is a photograph of the Durango and Silverton train as it winds through the San Juan Mountains. The orange train cars are seen winding along the track next to a teal river. There is a very big mountain peak in the distance with smaller mountains close by. The mountains near the viewer are green from pine trees as well as an orange-yellow from the leaves changing on other trees. The engine of the train can't be seen, but steam from the engine is visible.

Went to a wedding last weekend up in Redstone, Colorado. Was lucky enough to catch some of the leaves changing in McClure Pass! 🍂
#BlueSkyArtShow #TheRoad #Fall #Forest #MoodyVibes #MountainPass #Colorado

This is a photograph of a winding road going through a mountain pass. The sky is overcast with a hint of sunlight hitting the trees. The trees are mostly green with bright hints of yellow and orange as the seasons change from summer to fall. A large mountain peak can be seen far in the distance.

New Cover Alert! I recorded the song 'Rainbow Road' from the new "Mario Kart World" game.
This one took awhile to record: four saxophone parts, a piano, and the Roli Seaboard for the guitar solo. Hope you enjoy!

Oh cool! Unfortunately,we don't see many squirrels here. My cats would probably love watching them!

Skips A Beat Music @skipsabeatmusic.bsky.social · Sep 6

Haha! Perfect! I take it you have some kitties at home as well?

I'm sad to see summer draw to a close, but I also can't wait to pull out the mulled cider for fall. I know my cats will be particularly sad to see the season go. Their favorite summer pastime: watching birds out of the windows all day. 🐈🐦
#BlueSkyArtShow #Summer #Caturday #CatsofBluesky

This is a photograph of a cream to grey colored cat gazing out of the window. Shades of green from plants and trees can be seen through the windows. The cat is gazing up towards a tree watching birds. The sunlight is streaming in through the window lighting up the cat's face and paws.

Had an absolute blast watching "The Marriage of Figaro" last weekend at the Santa Fe Opera! The performers were amazing and the preview dinner beforehand was very tasty!
#SantaFeOpera #Southwest #Gruet #Desert #Opera #MusicSky

This is a photograph of an outdoor opera venue. It is before the performance, so people are walking about. The ceiling is very high and lit with amber colored lights.

This is a photograph of the opera stage. It is lit with blue lights. Clockwork gears can be seen on either side of the set. The set is made of a white 3d room that can be moved on the turntable it rests on. The orchestra pit is seen down below the stage.

We had another Roadrunner sighting the other day! This one looks so cute just chilling on the wall.

This is a close-up photograph of a small roadrunner. It is crouching on a brick wall. There are some pink and beige plant stems between the camera and the roadrunner.

New YouTube Video! I hope you all enjoy my cover of 'Into the West' from "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King." I wanted this arrangement to sound like a warm hug. 😻

Pearl could teach a masterclass in how to look both elegant and angry at the same time. 🐈

#catsofbluesky #petphotography #petportrait #lensbaby #nikon #prettykitty

This is a photograph of a white and grey cat. Most of its body is visible in the picture. The cat is facing to the right, but look left. The cat has grey eyes and its ears are pointing in the direction it is looking. The cat has wide eyes and seems to be very interested in what it sees in the distance. The outdoors and a mantle can barely be seen in the swirly background.

I have to constantly remind myself to stop working on music inside all day and to take a break, get some fresh air, and to look at something pretty. Anyone else?

This is a photograph of a plant. The plant has dark green leaves and bright pink flowers. The leaves on the edges of the photo appear to be swirling slightly giving an 'Alice in Wonderland' effect to the photo.

I think Pearl was an opera singer in her past life...
Not sure it counts as art, but this picture I took mid-yawn certainly brings me #joy.

I was finally able to get a few shots of one of the neighborhood roadrunners before it scampered off!

Thank you so much to Dr. Kelly and the UNM Saxophone Studio for an amazing year! It was an absolute treat to teach as an adjunct professor this year. I'm so grateful for the experience and the memories! (Also, thank you for the 'mostly' dry gifts!)

An up-close view: The texture of the cymbals featured in the art installation at Maison Pommery was really interesting! I liked how the cymbals looked tarnished, aged, and well-worn.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Texture #Pommery #Champagne #Cymbals #ArtInstallation #Instruments #MusicSky #Tarnished

This is a photograph of many cymbals. The main cymbal in focus is a dark yellow that has splotches of dark silver where the cymbal has been tarnished. Other cymbals in the picture have holes drill through them created interesting look shadows. The image has an overall grundgy look to it.

A closeup of an art installation at Champagne Pommery. The mix of lights and mirrors placed in a geometric shape were absolutely gorgeous.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Lines #Champagne #Pommery #TravelPhotography #Nikon

This is a photograph of an art installation. There are lines of light that vary in color. Surrounding the light bars are mirrors that are reflecting the lines of light in interesting patterns. The lights are blue, light red and green colored. Running along the lights bars is a black trim.

Such a magical night at the VLA!

#BlueSkyMonday #NMLife #StarryNight #Nightscape #VLA #RadioAstronomy #Southwest

This is a photograph of large radio astronomy telescopes pointed to the right and slightly up towards the starry night sky. The sky is a deep royal blue color. The large telescopes are beige with red highlights from a nearby red light which isn't visible in the photograph. There is a large telescope to the right of the frame and several others can be seen in the distance going towards the left.
