‪Seaside Daisy (Erigeron glaucus), a California native plant. Here in the SF #BayArea it makes a low-growing, spreading ground cover that thrives without maintenance. ‪ #acoloradAyPRIL #Lavender #MacroMonday #photography #ArtYear

The prompt today for #acoloradaypril is #LimeGreen. Lime green is definitely a thing, referring to a yellow green color, but I would like to point out that those green limes you buy in the store are way underripe. Allowed to ripen normally, they would be yellow. #limes #citrus #garden #photography

A just completed watercolor: Santa Catalina Doorways. Santa Catalina is a historic convent complex in Arequipa, Peru. I was looking for something #peaceful after the frenzy of Hong Kong Street (shared in a recent post). #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #watercolor #art #Peru #blue

I know Haemorhous mexicanus is a common bird, but House Finch seems disrespectful to this colorful, gregarious songster. I've decided just to call it a Rose Finch. Sing on! #birds #photography

This enormous weathered steel artwork by Richard Serra is called The Matter of Time. In its dedicated space at the Guggenheim Bilbao, it can be walked around and through, and viewed from above. The color changes as the metal weathers. #acoloradaypril #brown #Serra #Bilbao #Guggenheim #photography

TOLEDO STEPS I am fond of colors in the #purple (today's prompt for #acoloradAyPRIL) and magenta range. In this #watercolor the hues are used in a kind of color blocking way, maybe somewhat reminiscent of some Maynard Dixons.

I'm not usually a fan of the #silhouette in #photography. But I will share this image of sundown in #Zadar, #Croatia. Alfred Hitchcock said, "Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world." #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear

For the Maya, the #TreeofLife represents the stable world center. This photo of me standing amid the buttress roots of a ceiba tree near Copan Ruinas in Honduras, as butterflies flitted about and monkeys chattered overhead, was taken in 2002 by my daughter Ellen. #ThickTrunkTuesday
