Douglas fir cones near my entryway


My variegated geranium in festive Christmas red (indoors of course).

Haven't framed much in years, but just completed framing this print purchased by friends years ago.


Grandma's Christmas cactus faithfully blooming right in season


Merganzers just above a snow topped deck railing (out of focus foreground).


I repurposed Grandma's old suet birdfeeder into a succulent planter.


a bit of nautical decor


Sparkling lights at sunset


Getting douglas fir tree forms correct for a commission in silk.
