Frontal view of a male Kingfisher standing on a large rock. The bright colours of the bird contrast sharply with the dull grey surroundings of rocks and dirt. The bird turns its head to the side.

I enjoy watching horses graze in a country field because, while they are busy and pleasantly occupied, they're not in a hurry.

They have no worries, no concerns about working their way through a list -- one that's generally unreasonably long and constantly added to. They don't even know what a list is.

But they do know a good, satisfying meal when they're munching on it.

One of my favorite ways to begin a day is with the question, "So, what do you want to do today?"

Not enough days begin that way, since generally, the things that need to be done have already announced themselves, but on those days when there are no obligations, it's my favorite question to ask.

On this #FlashbackFriday look back at the historic solar storm of May 10th last year, a rare, magical alignment of Big Dipper with the dazzling Corona Borealis.

We were witnessing a historic, dazzling auroral display on May 10th, 2024 at Lake Sammamish in Redmond, Washington, where the Northern Lights captivated and mesmerized the onlookers with their vivid colors and fast moving formations.
The dancing ribbons of light surrounded, enveloped us with vibrant colors, sometimes radiating directly overhead where the Big Dipper’s seven bright stars aligned with the Coronae (Corona Borealis or crown), a rare event, indeed.
The Corona is the most impressive type of aurora, when rays or rayed bands pass overhead to converge to a point to form a crown or corona. So we looked overhead and the aurora rays appeared to originate from one single point and radiated outwards, in alignment with Big Dipper.
Words escape me to describe how mind-blowing was this otherworldly, once in a lifetime experience, to witness the vivid display of the aurora borealis as the lights filled the night sky with swirls of purple and blue hues.
The natural phenomenon created an ethereal atmosphere, conveying the beauty of Earth's geomagnetic interactions with solar particles.

Deep in the forest where others dare not go is where you will find them frozen in time, but always watching you.

The twisted form of an old tree sticks up into the air in this black and white image. Barkless and smooth from the elements the wood looks like arms with claws. Large trees can be seen out of focus in the background.

My birdbath garden at mom's old cottage. Bumblebees loved the globe thistle, fritillary butterflies swarmed the coneflowers, and the red bee-balm was guaranteed to draw ruby-throat hummingbirds. There's a serviceberry tree to the left of the glider and a witch hazel tree in the border behind it. A mail-order ginseng plant liked this location and reseeded itself. Photo by my mom.

I love where I live, but while I'm traveling, I frequently see places that make me stop and think, "I'd like to live there."

But as I'm an ordinary person without the finances to own multiple homes, I just take a look, grab a reference photo, and back in my studio, paint the moment.

May you find a place of silence today, of calmness where you can step away from the noise -- and this noise isn't just auditory, it is visual as well, piercing our soul with its discord.

And in this silent place, may you feel the sunshine on your face, a golden glow that warms you completely, starting on the outside and working its way completely in and through your being.

What are we to believe, in a world in which we are told so many, many lies?

I start by finding some small thing that I know to be true, some element of beauty or goodness that is so right, so precious, that there is no ugliness or deceit in it.

And I build upon that.
