"Summer Cornfield" ...

We've had good rain this spring and now into summer, so the cornfields are looking good.

"#Summer #Cornfield" was digitally hand painted in #CorelPainter from one of my own photos of a lovely #farm that I always enjoy seeing on my way up to the cabin in Blue Knob All Seasons Resort, in #Claysburg, #PA.

"Summer Cornfield" ...

A brilliant green cornfield, the stalks already beginning to tassel at the ends, waves lazily under the summer sunshine. A drive through the heart of the Laurel Highlands in Central PA , USA, brings visual gem after visual gem. The sapphire blues of the skies, the ruby reds of the barns, the golden fields and the emerald hills and crops … all are a delight and the picture perfect examples of a summer's day in the country.

We've had good rain this spring and now into summer, so the cornfields are looking good.

"Room With A View" ... A favorite of mine taken on top of #BlueKnob mountain several years back. The part I like is the feeling of early, early springtime! We're nearly through February, and that means spring is on it's way!!!

A quaint little shack sits alone and forlorn on top of Blue Knob Mountain, All Season's Resort, in Claysburg, PA.

Seen on a quiet spring day, you would think the true view here at the top of Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, Pennsylvania, would be just at the rim of the hill the shack is perched upon. And that is the view we normally can't wait to visit. It's breathtaking ... the rolling hills of the Laurel Highlands ripple out in front of us like waves upon the sea. But on this day .. the quiet light, the trees just beginning to leaf out, the clouds ... and most fun, the golden dandelions at our feet, beg us to take a extra moment or two to enjoy the simplicity of the wooden ski-shack itself.

It'll take a couple of seasons, but soon it will no longer be forlorn. As soon as snow flies, the skiers will return ... and it will see its share of fun again.

"Spring In A Vase" ... my latest ... our #jonquils are breaking through the mulch in our garden beds about an inch ... exciting!!! So I dug up one of my photos from 2023 and had some fun playing in #CorelPainter last night.

A bouquet of yellow and white jonquils is elegantly arranged in a clear glass vase, set against a softly blurred background that enhances the vibrant blooms. Light and shadow interplay subtly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

"Turbulent Times" ... my latest ... a look at the #USCapital under #stormy #skies but with our beautiful #flag flying in all her radiant glory.

Not meant to be political ... just an observation.

Digital art, not Ai, based on a photo taken by my son, Rich Bryan, several years ago.

A dramatic view of the United States Capitol in Washington DC showcases its grand architecture against a backdrop of dark, moody clouds. The inverted colors create a surreal and striking visual effect, enhancing the historical and political significance of the building.

Turbulent Times ... times of confusion and questions. We've been here before, and we'll be here again. And among it all, our beautiful flag still flies.

"An Evening Stroll" ... my newest post ... a lovely evening stroll along the beach at the #OuterBanks in #Corolla, #NorthCarolina ... captured in July of 2020 with the Nikon D7000.

Golden sunlight bathes a serene beach, with gentle waves lapping at the shore under a dramatic sky. People stroll along the sand, enjoying the tranquil evening atmosphere.

Some of my favorite ways to daydream about the beach are remembering early morning wave-watching with a cup of coffee in my hands and my bare toes in the still-cool sand. Another is sitting under an umbrella on a sunny day with a good book in my lap. But one of the best is an evening stroll, watching the way the light lights up the sky.
