Yaaaay, it's #BlueSkyArtShow day! A little #vibrant photo magic with #poppies. #mirroredimage #summerflowers #loriryerson #focalocity. Happy Saturday, y'all. Watch your lungs, it's smokin' out there.

It's #BlueSkyArtShow Saturday, and today's theme = #texture. "Beyond the Fringe" is one of my favourites; just a wee punch of colour in an otherwise sandy dunes image. From my #DeathValley days. Need some new desert in my life; heading to the #Atacama this weekend, more #photography #art comin' up.

Barking up the Right Tree. The world has gone barkin' mad. Time for some art. That should fix it, right? #blueskyphotography #travelandnature #scottishpines #loriryerson #focalocity

Pink peony abstraction. #BlueskyArtShow #lines #abstractphotography #loriryerson

If Stephen Miller being appointed to run US national security doesn't scare the sh*t out of you, you're not paying attention. Read Penitmalli's full article. The people of the US need to wake their congresspeople the hell up. #fascism #resistance

You don't need a whole grove of them. All you need is one perfect specimen and it will give as much joy. #flowerporn #magnolias #cherryblossoms #springflowers #loriryerson #focalocity #photography

It's #green day on #BlueSkyArtShow. One of my favourite images from New Brunswick, so maybe that also makes me #eastcoastkin.

MPs who lose their seat in an election receive 50% of their annual salary in severance pay and I’d love to hear someone in the media ask Pierre if he’s cashing that cheque before he tries to win another seat but now I’m being ridiculous because we all know Pierre will not be taking media questions.

Now that the election is over...time to get back to reality. Take a moment to enjoy my forsythia bush. I know I did. The End. #loriryerson #focalocity #photography #springflowers

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.

We don't need anger. We need to build. #CanadaStrong

In case #Newfoundland wasn't awesome enough, it's one of the rare places you can actually walk on the mantle of the #earth. Normally buried deep beneath Earth's crust, in NL you can actually touch it because of #platetectonics, the movement of the earth. #photography #eastcoastkin #BlueSkyArtShow

Friday #scape. We call these intimate landscapes; close up of a small section of the scene. I've always loved Pacific Northwest Coast Salish art. I was struck by how much of it I could see in the shapes and curves of the bull kelp that washes up on shore. #loriryerson #focalocity #photography

I remember when I took this off my card, thinking, "Whatever happened here???" And then I got super excited about the effect of the weather conditions, and the #reflections. What is reality, what is a #dream? #BlueSkyArtShow #trains #landscapephotography #loriryerson #focalocity

#scape, but could be #FlamingoFriday. Maybe that shld be Flyday? Also Good Friday. It's quiet outside, but it's not quiet in my brain. Always think of this time as #renewal. We could all do with a little renewing right now. Wishing everyone #peace. #loriryerson #focalocity #photography #kenya

I really like this guy. I like anyone right now Downstairs who speaks calmly and rationally, and who acts like a responsible member of society. Like a grownup.

#ThrowbackThursday to that day when a dear friend brought me fleurs cuz she knew I wouldn't be able to resist #photography. For about 1 hr, maybe 2, I got lost in the candy cane striped deliciousness of this gorgeous chrysanthemum & forgot about our then worries. #fuckcancer (he's clear now!)

It's #BlueSkyArtShow day with a #peaceful theme. I always find #water very calming. I love to see visceral reactions to this. Most people come on it at a show, they stop, and heave a big sigh, shoulders drop. #quietmoments #loriryerson #focalocity #lakesuperior Chag Sameach, IYKYK. #peaceinourtime.

OMG, Betty Davis eyes...SO GOOD.

Not just a US thing. Think about every time you go for a med lab test. Think about all the staffers at your mom's nursing home. Think about all the private caregivers hired for post surgical home care. The nanny the kids hired for your grandchild. They deserve respect, not deportation.

#acoloradAyPRIL The colour for April 9 = black so... okay, it's not 100% black but you get the idea. I love the #fractals created by this reflection of #trees on the water. I left the natural bark colour in so you could realize it's not b/w photo #loriryerson #focalocity #photography #findthebeauty

April weather doing what April weather does. Not every April is warm 'n' fuzzy. April babies know, we're always ready. Penguins retaliate by putting a tariff on Spring. #loriryerson #focalocity #photography #antarctic #penguins #ariesweather

To the thousands of people who came out to show Trump we won't stay quiet: Thank you. Stay in the fight. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2025/0...

#Stunday. The Belt of Venus appears above the hazy hills. View from Ten Mile Point, off #manitoulinisland. Manitoulin is the world's largest freshwater island. This be Group of 7 territory; Algoma, which produced so many iconic works #onlyincanada #groupofseventrail #algoma #loriryerson #focalocity.
