From last year - a scene from the Painted Desert - it can be as beautiful as other famous southwest areas but is often overlooked!
The desert is part of the "Chinie Formation" and was formed during the Triassac Period. There is a 28 mile drive through it.
In 1886, the writer Guy de Maupassant published his eyewitness account of Monet at Étretat. "The artist walked along the beach, followed by children carrying five or six canvases representing the same subject at different times of the day and with different effects. He took them up and put them aside by turns according to changes in the sky and shadows." Monet painted the dramatically arched projection in the cliff at Étretat six times from this angle: twice during each of three visits to the Normandy coast in 1883, 1885, and 1886. He refined the pictures in his studio.

The rugged Newfoundland landscape is softened with the ubiquitous yellow seaweed covering the rocks near the water Best viewed large for the detail in those cliffs.

A visit to a friend's farm brought us out to the back fields to tour the duck ponds and trails he created. Caistor Centre, Ontario.
Sadly, we had to come home early due to a windy snow storm approaching. Not a safe place to be under trees that have branches yet to be tested by winter. This weather event is quite unusual for this time of year, might even be record breaking.
None the less, we did manage to have some fun and pretty days. And with some delightful soft Autumn colors. Hopefully we can try going out again in November for a short trip.
I hope you will all understand I do not want to be back fully until the 5th. as previously planned, but I will check in and work a bit when I have time.
Lot's to do with unpacking, cleaning and prepping for my brothers annual long visit. So off to it.

It's been a long time since I did any painting. Trying get a little variety during this lock-down. It's painted on a stone.
An Australian painted lady, Vanessa kershawi, feeding on the Jervis Bay Grevillea, Grevillea macleayana, at Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, Australia.
The markings of the Australian painted lady are similar to the Northern Hemisphere painted lady, Vanessa cardui.
Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful for the very kind comments and faves which have been left.
Have a wonderful week!
I found this old house in Northumberland County, Virginia. It looks like the second floor porch has fallen off and it is missing a few boards and windows. It needs a little paint and some landscaping. Other than that though, it seems fine!

This is what happens in my life after they cancel Mythbusters.

I was extremely surprised to see this little visitor in the yard. He hung out most of the day. This is only the second time I have seen a painted bunting in the yard. The last time was a couple of years ago. He did not allow me to get very close. He's also very fast. However, I did manage to get a couple of shots while he was here.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Looking out my front window, I was blessed to see this beautiful sunset! Wishing all of you a magical sunset too my friends =)
