#Small frog hanging out in the leaf shadows for today's #BlueSkyArtShow

#iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Color snapshot of low quality. The subject is a baby frog sitting on a dry white oak leaf on the forest floor. The frog is positioned in the bottom right of the photo, facing the center; a dried twig is directly below it making a horizontal line across the bottom of the image; the frog is an olive drab color with a wash of bright green across its back from nose to tail; it's warty and bumpy all over.

#Scape day and #ForestFriday combo.

#Landscape #iPhonePhotography #Monochrome #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin
Woodland creek scene in warm monochrome taken on this late autumn day. Most of the trees are bare. A small, wet-season creek filled with leaves is in the foreground, reflecting the trees nearby; a large, dark tree trunk is on the left bank with a lower limb extending from left to right horizontally across the image; thick tree growth is in the background and the faint outline of a distant hill beyond.

For the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved theme, is this cast away boot which has been in our woods since we moved here 28 years ago and who knows how long before that. It's not really unloved, as I have a fondness for its tenacity and ever-changing appearance.

#iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
In the rainy woods today, I took a snapshot of an old leather boot. It's arranged with the sole positioned diagonally across the bottom left corner of the image; the sole is black, worn nearly smooth, and separating at the toe. The dull grey leather upper has moss growing on it and the eyelets are the color of pewter. The boot is lying on a mossy fall leaf-covered mound; the fallen leaves are rich shades of brown and the moss peeking out from beneath them is bright green. The thin trunks of young trees are visible in the background.

rain, tree abstraction : : commute

#Photography #Abstract #Window #SensoryArt #Water #EastCoastKin
Looking through a car windshield at a bare tree on the right and a cedar tree on the left. The sky is blue at the top of the frame, fading to white at the bottom. The rain is fully coating the glass, showing a few droplet shapes on the left but mostly creating a wavy abstraction effect and a dreamy quality.

Feeling this today: bedraggled, light/dark

Macro monochrome of a downy edged feather. The feather is black with a pale center and has long fuzzy tendrils. It's sitting on a pale textured surface which is partially lighted, leaving the top diagonal of the frame in complete darkness.

A couple of weeks ago, I grabbed a shot of the Nashville skyline from the top of my hotel for #Scape day.

#MusicCity #Nashville #Skyline #CityScape #Photography #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Long horizontal view of the Nashville skyline at night. High rise buildings are silhouetted against a clear sky of deep blue punctuated by stars. A fog or haze is visible above the busy street which leads us into the view.

In she comes, that curious creature — all lace and logic, mischief and manners. Her skirts swish like the turning pages of a storybook that refuses to end properly, and her corset gleams with the faint golden shimmer of a key that almost certainly opens something it shouldn’t.

While hiking today, I found a cute lil turt nestling themselves under a log. Wondering if this is going to be their season-long hibernation spot or just for today's rain...

Vertical color snapshot visually divided into three parts: The bottom third is made up of dry oak leaves and the back end of a box turtle; the center is a horizontally arranged weathered log; the top sliver is a view of the sparse woods, with green and gold foliage, beyond the photographer's vantage point.

Defining the Demonic
Although Jacques Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire infernal, a monumental compendium of all things diabolical, was first published in 1818 to much success, it is the fabulously illustrated final edition...

Breakfast prep. When the cool morning air makes visible the vapor swirling above my cup of tea. I learned a new word today while reading a piece written by a photographer... quotidian: everyday; commonplace; occurring or returning every day.

#EverydayBeauty #SmallThings #Photography #EastCoastKin
The frame is filled with buttered toast in the bottom left corner, a handmade pottery cup holding hot tea which is making beautifully swirly steam, and two clean white plates with forks crisscrossed on them. The sunshine is entering from directly across me, casting fork tine shadows on the plate surface, illuminating the steam, catching the edge of the toast, and cutting a line across the butcher-block surface beneath these items. It has a warm and cozy feel. Breakfast prep is an everyday occurrence for me and sometimes, like on this day, it strikes me as incredibly beautiful in its simplicity. The butcher block was my parent's, the stainless forks too with their 1970s aesthetic, plates from a cafeteria where our family used to work, and the cup is handmade by my brother in law who was a professional potter. Each of these objects, as well as the food and drink, offer me sustenance.

Murky view from an abandoned Civil War era house.

#WindowsOnWednesday #ClassicMono #Monochrome #EastCoastKin
Looking at farmland through the dirty and broken window of the 2nd story of an abandoned house. The landscape outside is gently rolling and rows of cut hay are visible in the foreground; tiny dots of dwellings in the distance. The window glass is broken, cracked, speckled with filth, and has long drips of dirt in the center from top to bottom.

Today's #Spooktober theme is #Bats! Yes, this is a real sign on an attic door in the building, which was built in the 1800s, where I work. I've never seen the bats there but that attic is properly scary!

#Halloween #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Paper sign taped to a dark wood door. The sign says in all caps, "Please keep the door closed to the attic to keep out the bats. Thank you!" Above the text is a picture of a bat.

Macro image of a very large spider on her web. She is an Orb Weaver and her colors are black and yellow. Her web has the Orb Weaver's typical thick white zig-zag line in the center which spans diagonally through the frame. She is perched atop it in the upper right corner. In the blurred background are lush green plants with sunlight bleaching some of the leaves to yellow. The blossoms of the Jewelweed are orange.

According to EarthSky "The comet will be closest to Earth on October 21, 2025. It should become easier to see in our sky around that time. It will continue to brighten after that, likely reaching its brightest – and possibly visible with your eyes alone – around October 31 or November 1."

No Kings in a Soybean Field : : husband/artist, soybeans, 18th century Revolutionary War Era reminder of an earlier No Kings time in our history. Check Alt Text for context!

#Resist #NoKings #HeyHeyHoHoDonaldTrumpHasGotToGo #Photography #iPhonePhotography #Portrait #History #EastCoastKin
Color photograph of a man standing in a dried out soybean field. A line of trees form a horizon line, and the sky is blue with pretty white clouds. The man is on the left side of the image, looking to his left. He's holding an 18th century style flintlock gun. Attached to the end of the barrel, is a No Kings protest sign with those words and a yellow crown with a red X across it on white posterboard. The man is dressed in 18th century style clothing: brown felt hat with round brim; yellow linen shirt; brown linen waistcoat and breeches; black hosiery; black shoes. He is carrying a leather bag and powderhorn which are hanging by straps diagonally across his chest. The story: we used to participate in living history events of the Rev War Era and are struck by how the anti-king sentiment has circled back to visit us again here in the US. Today, I had to work. My husband can't drive at the moment because of an eye injury. Protest still happened in the middle of nowhere. Resist when and where you can! Never give up!
