The redwood forest somewhere along the Avenue of the Giants in Northern California. #photography

A color image of an ancient decaying moss covered stump next to 2 large ferns. Sunlight is filtered through the canopy of the deep redwood forest. The filtered light is highlighting the edges of the moss on the jagged edges of the stump and revealing all the shades of green in the ferns. The forest provides the background of the image.

A monochrome image of people in the South Dakota Badlands. The foreground of the image is flat with dirt and gravel. The background is hazy and consists of indistinct jagged hills. The sky is a hazy gray. In the middle left of the photograph is a father facing the hills with his two young children, a boy and a girl, face toward the camera.

The leash stretches toward the children, and at the end of the leash is a beagle with his head turned to the camera the wind is blowing his ears out flat like wings. The woman is facing the hills. Between the camera and the people and dog, a woman in light clothes is walking toward the camera. Her head is down and the wind is blowing her hair to one side.

Ed Sandoval plying his trade outside his studio in Taos, New Mexico. #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky #HumansofBlueSky #Humans #streetphotography #Taos #NewMexico

An image of an artist in front of an easel in a parking lot facing an adobe studio building. The artist is painting with his left hand. He is wearing sunglasses as he studies the canvas. The artist is standing next to an antique light green pickup truck. Behind him on the right side of the image is an old Chevrolet pickup. It's a 1060s model, not quite as old as the other pickup, but also in worse shape the rust on the hood and fender make it difficult to discern the color of paint. The background of the image is a muted yellow building with 2 square windows.

Como, Colorado. The South Park area of Colorado is both interesting and beautiful. If you ever find yourself in Denver with a day to kill, head south to Fairplay. #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky #HumansofBlueSky #Humans #streetphotography #monochrome

A monochrome image of a man standing on railroad tracks looking down the tracks. The man is holding his hands behind his back. Directly behind him is what appears to be an old railroad signal. In front of the man is an old railroad boxcar. There are old wooden buildings and railroad artifacts scattered around. Everything is weathered and decaying. A second set of tracks runs parallel. Beyond the tracks and buildings are rolling hills crossed by a road in one direction and power lines in another. Beyond the hills are mountains in haze. The sky is overcast with dark cumulus clouds that give the image a slightly ominous feel. Three power lines run across the top of the photograph.

I don’t recall what led me to take a landscape photograph in portrait orientation, but here it is. I like it better than the landscape orientation shots I made that day. I think this is on the million dollar highway in 2017. #landscape #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky

An image of a green valley. On the bottom right of the photo is a broken dead tree. Bits of a small dirt road are visible across the bottom. The middle of the photograph is predominantly a meadow with evergreens scattered across it. The top third is more heavily wooded with a small lake on the left.

Monte Bello RV park in moonlight. July 2017. Because I haven’t had the opportunity to get my camera out, I am posting some pictures from the glory days of full time RVing. #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky #monochrome

A monochrome image of an RV park in moonlight. A gravel road runs diagonally from the bottom left corner to the middle of the right side. There is a rectangular pavilion on the left side of the road. The road ends at a shed against a latilla fence. Between the pavilion and the fence are several large motor coaches and 5th wheels with associated vehicles. The right side of the road is lined with rocks and small bushes with a couple of RVs near the fence.

The sky makes up the top two thirds of the image. There are smooth clouds just above the horizon with the full moon in the center of the picture above the clouds.

It’s been quite a while since I posted anything. Here is my extremely cute granddaughter riding her suitcase through the house. #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky #HumansofBlueSky #Humans

Santa Fe Skies RV Park “On days that I keep my #gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days” — Ray Wylie Hubbard #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #photographersofbluesky

An image of hills south of Santa Fe, New Mexico, taken from the Santa Fe Skies RV Park. The hills are in a haze that helps define the distance between the rows of hills. In the foreground is a walking path. On the right side between the path and the camera is the rust covered body of an antique car. To the right of the car is an abstract sculpture on a concrete pedestal. The sculpture is a metal circle that is red on the outside and blue on the inside. Just past the path is a wire fence, and beyond the fence is a field speckled with juniper bushes that stretches to the hills.

I got a new lens today a #Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S. I think I’m going to like it. This is a shot of my front porch. Shooting pueblo style architecture never gets old. #NewMexico #photography #photographersofbluesky

An image of the front porch of a pueblo style house. The flagstone porch leads away from the camera to a wooden door. On the right side 2 large columns support the wooden ceiling above the porch. There is a large window in the adobe wall on the left side of the porch. Two turquoise colored rockers sit in front of the window. The porch continues in an L to the right with 2 smaller windows and 2 turquoise Adirondack chairs. The windows reflect the sky and the window on the left reflects a tangled wood and rock mobile that hangs from a beam. Above the beam 2 vigas are visible. A bit of the courtyard is visible on the bottom right side.

Columbine in the courtyard, and a volunteer in the walkway between the house and carport. When you see columbine in the forest by a mountain stream, it seems so delicate. I never expected one to grow up through gravel in a high traffic area. These are straight from the camera with no finishing.
