More flowers from Phipps. Trying to put myself in the spring mindset of renewal and life. . . . . . #mcl_arts #dof_addicts #ig_ard_flowers #splendid_flowers #bns_macro #igrefined #tv_flowers #flowersandmacro #bns_flowers #flower_igers #ig_monumentalworld_flowers #superb_flowers #ig_flowers_today #flowerstalking #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #macro_drama #moody_nature #explore_dof #depthobsessed #dof_addicts #dof_brillance #dofnature #ip_blossoms #igmw_macro #superb_flowers #dof_of_our_world (at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B98S52WhwDh/?igshid=zre4lc9aho45

Days are getting shorter and colder. I should be sad at the end of long, light days and the loss of colorful blossoms, but I love winter and all things cozy. I’m eagerly finishing up work and waiting for this semester to end to get back to photo hikes and writing books. . . . . . #mcl_arts #dof_addicts #ig_ard_flowers #splendid_flowers #bns_macro #igrefined #tv_flowers #flowersandmacro #bns_flowers #flower_igers #ig_monumentalworld_flowers #superb_flowers #ig_flowers_today #flowerstalking #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #macro_drama #moody_nature #explore_dof #depthobsessed #dof_addicts #dof_brillance #dofnature #ip_blossoms #igmw_macro #superb_flowers #dof_of_our_world https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vdXWDBpUz/?igshid=86updwsog7jb

Perfect autumn day yesterday. Outside the library, of course but we were inside meditating. . . . . . #bns_trees #pittsburgh #visitpa #412shooterz #412 #igerspgh #pittsburghbeautiful #steelcitygrammers #pittsburghlocal #pittsburghphotographer #takenwithiphone6 #coa #street_photo_club #ehs #belocalworldwide #streetphotography #412project #pghcreative #everythingpittsburgh #urbanandstreet #urban_shots_ #mcl_cityscapes (at Oakmont Carnegie Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aEykEBdfI/?igshid=1f8asz6927jx7

Friday flowers! It’s gorgeous out today and I’m so glad to be out in the sun.

I just really loved my trip to Phipps! I have so many beautiful photos now. I’ve changed the background on my phone twice. . Many of the gorgeous residents of the orchid room have closeups on my phone. I hope they’re ready for them! 😊 . . . . . #mcl_arts #dof_addicts #ig_ard_flowers #splendid_flowers #bns_macro #igrefined #tv_flowers #flowersandmacro #bns_flowers #flower_igers #ig_monumentalworld_flowers #superb_flowers #ig_flowers_today #flowerstalking #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #macro_drama #moody_nature #explore_dof #depthobsessed #dof_addicts #dof_brillance #dofnature #ip_blossoms #igmw_macro #superb_flowers #dof_of_our_world (at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B249a84hcy9/?igshid=nq3yptvcx1cf

It has been ages since I’ve done an acrylic painting. This is as far as I’ve gotten with this wood panel painting I started a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy it here in all its stages. I’m still working out what comes next for it. . . . . . #wip #workinprogress #studioscenes #paintingoftheday #artoftheday #pantingprocess #artlistr #artcurator #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #art_for_breakfast #igpainting #ig_artworks #art_worldly #pghpainter #painting #artistagramm_ #ig4art #pittsburghartist #pghartist #pghart #fineart #acrylicpainting #fineartpainting #abstractpainting #artselective #artaddict #maketimeforart #creativecommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B1yBupMhvB-/?igshid=fe7an9ys0boy

Note highlights from our walk down the Montour Trail. As I’m slowly getting over this awful summer crud that’s had me laid low for a week, I’m adding new prints to my shop.

Down the path. Note to self, next time wear your hiking boots. . Hiking these kinds of trails always makes me think of being in a video game where you want to explore every corner before you go on to the next place. There were a few paths I didn’t get to explore because of the time, we didn’t want to be on the trail after the sun set, so we have plenty to explore on our next trip. . . . . . #tree_brilliance #naturephotography #earthpix #bns_trees #splendid_earth #pocket_trees #ig_shotz_trees #nature_sultans #nature_of_our_world #nature_fantastically #natureshooters #naturegeography #ig_shotz #ig_countryside #instagood #tree_captures #serialshooters #theglobewanderer #412shooterz #bevisuallyinspired #weliveoutdoors #welltraveled #createtoexplore #steelcitygrammers #welivetoexplore #iamatraveler #stayandwander #earthfocus #pocket_nature #master_gallery https://www.instagram.com/p/B0d5wzGBTdg/?igshid=qojvekgxsfpw

More nature shots because I’m in love with trees. I’ll be updating my shop next week with new prints from my recent hikes. I think I have some new fabric designs to upload as well, so there should be an influx of new art next week! . . . . . #mcl_arts #dof_addicts #splendid_nature #bns_macro #igrefined #tree_brilliance #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #macro_drama #moody_nature #explore_dof #depthobsessed #dof_addicts #dof_brillance #dofnature #412shooterz #pocket_trees #nature_fantastically #igmw_macro #bns_trees #discoverearth #hubs_united #nature_of_our_world #nature_sultans #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #serialshooters #steelcitygrammers #macro_delights #dof_of_our_world https://www.instagram.com/p/B0cHlSthvfG/?igshid=1uy235hx37558

I’m really in love with this photo! When I took my nephew out to work on the exposure triangle, we stopped to do close up shots here. His shots are amazing and nothing like my own. I’m so proud that he’s learning, taking pictures and developing his own style. He’s making me happy to be a photographer again, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt the desire and inspiration to shoot. . Shout out to Alex, who was there playing gorgeous banjo music while we were working! . . . . . #412shooterz #rustbeltlife #igerspgh #exceptional_pictures #ourplanetdaily #exploreourearth #exploretocreate #beautifuldestinations #pghcreative #pittsburghbeautiful #thisismycommunity #alleghenycounty #shotzdelight #photographersofinstagram #photographerlife #photographylover #southparkpa #412 #412creative #dof_of_our_world #steelcitygrammers #westernpa (at South Park Maple Springs Gazebo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WFmSXh12h/?igshid=1s9ni66vpfgfd

Out at the park last night doing some shooting with my nephew and I think it’s the first time I’ve had my camera out since April. . . . . . #mcl_arts #dof_addicts #splendid_nature #bns_macro #igrefined #tree_brilliance #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #macro_drama #moody_nature #explore_dof #depthobsessed #dof_addicts #dof_brillance #dofnature #playoftones #moodytoning #nature_fantastically #igmw_macro #bns_trees #discoverearth #hubs_united #nature_of_our_world #nature_sultans #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #serialshooters #creativeoptic #macro_delights (at Boyce Mayview Park and Trails) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0T0r9qBfZY/?igshid=flo88iyzl1vx
