Good morning from #Oregon Here is my shot of the #BuckMoon in my neighborhood this morning. First time I have been out my big camera in a month! Felt good 😊 #AlphabetChallenge #Dark #Photography #ECK #OMSystem #Scape #EastCoastKin

Yes… been a busy summer. Picking and preserving figs and plums from my back yard. Infusing vodka too!

Good morning from Oregon! Growing in my garden! #BlueSkyArtShow #Growing #ColorADay #GreenSat #ECK #Dahlia #Macro #OMSystem

Good Morning! My view of the Isle Of Skye after a hike last summer. Feeling pretty small, but full of gratitude. #Photography #BlueSkyArtShow #Wide #ColorADay #GreenSat #ECK #Scotland #IsleOfSkye #Pano #PanoPhoto

Happy #STUNday Nature's farewell kiss for the night. I captured so many images in an hour of the ever changing sky last week. I wanted to share another one. 🙏 #Photography #ECK #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Oregon #Pronghorn #GhostTree

Happy Saturday BlueSkyers😊 I did an early morning boat ride in #KillarneyNationalPark in #Ireland last month. This is the Brickeen Bridge built in the 18th century. #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Curve #SensoryArt #portals #ColorADay #GreenSat #Photography #ECK #OMSystem #Reflection #Bridge

Good Day! It is #FoodOnFriday art challenge. This drink is dedicated to my Irish friend Jason @bloodraynes.bsky.social who has supported this art challenge for the last year with his homemade treats. I am resigning from sponsoring this theme and hope someone else will pick it up. #EastCoastKin

Good Morning... Fancy desert anyone? Lemon tart and a chocolate sorbet decorated with fruit! #FoodOnFriday #Photography #ECK #Food #EastCoastKin

Just a few seconds as it unfolds

There is nothing like the awe of a spectacular sunset. The colors moved and changed every minute for almost an hour. This was a couple of nights ago in #Pronghorn #Oregon #Photography #OMSytem #ECK #Sunset #PalacesAndGardens #WaterPlays #GolfCourse #JuniperPreserve

I visited #Vigeland Park last month in #OSLO This sculpture is called "The Fountain" Celebrating Gustav Vigeland~ It is the world's largest sculpture garden featuring over 200 sculptures by the same artist. ✔️ #Photography ✔️ #UrbanGaze ✔️ #PalacesAndGardens #WaterPlays ✔️ #ECK ✔️ #LongExposure

Last nights sunset here in Pronghorn was pretty spectacular! #Photography #ECK #GolfCourse #Oregon #Pronghorn #JuniperReserve #Reflection

Feeling cool? I took this image last month in #Svalbard This is an iceberg that broke away from a freshwater glacier. Over the years, all the air bubbles have been squeezed out, making it dense and appearing blue. #BlueSkyMonday #MinimalMonday #ECK #Iceberg #OMSystem #Norway

Need calm? Happy #BlueSkyMonday I took this during an early morning boat ride in #KillarneyNationalPark #Ireland #MinimalMonday #Photography #ECK #GlenBay

Happy Sunday for #Stunday art challenge! From my recent trip to #Svalbard I can’t say enough about my excitement to watch this polar bear under the midnight sun from our icebreaker ship with Nat Geo. #Photography #OMSystem #ECK #PolarBear

Everyone is welcome to participate. It happens every Friday. Our arts collective which is known as East Coast Kin hosts art challenges every day of the week. Participation is noted by using the associated hashtags. Here they are:

While I have hundreds of shots from my recent vacation, I am trying to stay in the moment for where I currently spending my time. Experienced this on my walk in Central #Oregon #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWater #PronghornOregon #ECK #Photography

Here is a view from where the Carhar River meets the ocean in #Ireland for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWater #ColorADay #BlueTue #Photography #OMSystem #ECK #FairyAndFolkloreTrail

Did someone say #BlueSkyMonday #ArtChallenge ? There is no way to express how small I felt among these high arctic peaks in #Svalbard recently. #Photography #ECK #MountianMonday #Norway #PanoPhotos

Happy #BlueSkyMonday My visit to #Ireland last month, had some of the most wonderful views. #Photography #WildAtlanticWay #DhuloughValley #OMSystem #ECK

Well I was concentrating on this pile of Walruses! They were a bit lethargic.....then he popped up. I imagine to join them in lollygagging ☺️

You can imagine my surprise when this walrus popped up out of the water in #Svalbard while I was standing on the shore. Looks like he is quite a warrior based on the scars all over him. #Stunday #Photography #ECK #Norway #Walrus #OMSystem

Here is a shot from my recent travels to #Svalbard for #Stunday Common Eider ducks frolic in the melting ice field in the foreground. #Photography #ECK #OMSystem #Norway #EastCoastKin

A typical morning on my expedition to the arctic. #Busy hiking secluded beaches full of ice. #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #ECK #OMSystem #Svalbard #NatGeo #AboveTheArcticCircle #Norway

On my trip to #Svalbard last month, I had the privilege of watching these #Busy bears hunting seals. They use an ambush technique. This was 1am~ the sun did not set. I was on a Nat Geo expedition; they graciously let me borrow a Zuiko 150mm-600 lens. #BlueSkyArtShow #ECK #Photography #PolarBear

Friday is #SCAPE day for #ECK #ArtChallenge I took this shot last month during a hike in Spitsbergen National Park #Norway #Photography #OMSystem #Svalbard

This is as low as the sun gets in the high arctic. I took this image in #Svalbard last month. #Photography #ECK #ColorADay #YellowThu #OMSystem #Norway #Sunset #StarBurst

Good Morning it is #WindowsOnWednesday art challenge day. My view last week from #Dublin #Ireland from the Alex Hotel. So much going on in one spot! It was a very busy city. I preferred the countryside. #Photography #ECK #EastCoastKin

I took this shot last week on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, in #Ireland.... Slea Head Drive. So blessed with amazing weather. #Photography #WildAtlanticWay #TidesOutTuesday #DinglePenninsula #OMSystem #ECK #EastCoastKin
