I think I need some calm and quiet today..

Post migraine, tired and some tricky messy code to look at, so something peaceful whilst I listen to the rain on the roof and some Tiny Ruins streaming I think will do...

The photo is a 7 minute exposure on the shores of Lake Tekapo in Mackenzie county, New Zealand

I give it a try - here is my day 1 for the #ArtAdventCalendar -
White Cyclamen on pink is an ink drawing colored with watercolor washes of a beautiful blooming white Cyclamen flower with blossoms and buds. The bright white blossoms have a slight touch of pink, that's why I chose a vibrant pink as background color. As a houseplant these beautiful delicate flowers are blooming mainly in the winter season.

I'm thrilled to see #ArtAdventCalendar making its way over to Mastodon! @jayispainting has created a wonderful tradition and I've really enjoyed participating over the past number of years. Details on what it's all about can be found here: https://earthskyart.ca/artadventcalendar/

Over the next 24 days, I'll be sharing some of my favourite wildlife photographs. I'll start with this Grizzly Bear that I was able to spend time with earlier this spring.

I’ve worked in and for hundreds of cities all over the world. The cities that are doing amazing and innovative things aren’t cities with ideal weather, or topography, or size, or demographics, or wealth, or regulatory systems/powers, or even politics.

They’re the cities that have stopped making excuses.
