Seems like summer has barely begun and all of a sudden it is August, to me at least. I’ve been so busy in my studio that I’ve barely been outdoors. I thought of that as I was putting this post together. I started off with some fresh fossil images but soon veered away toward images from past forays in the car and on foot – simply put, I needed to remind myself that there is a world beyond the studio!

So here we go outdoors – from an old locomotive to a hummingbird et al.

Thanks for the visit.

Wonderful shots, Art. Such a wide variety of subjects, too!
So glad you spend time in and out of your studio, Art. These are so enjoyable—each one! Love the puddles on the country road and, of course, what you’ve done with the color. Those furrows want a person to notice the trees and the sky. I like how the clouds and the fence co-undulate. The photo of the parking meters has to be my favorite, for composition as well as color. I could go on . . .
Love outdoor shots! Train, fish, hummingbird, road with honey colored summer light!

Loved these. You should try to get out more often while continuing the fossils (because they are great too).
