Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety.

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens,
every day can end beautifully.

Mingus Storm, 10-5-21. SMD

For each thorn, there’s a rosebud…
For each twilight – a dawn…
For each trial – the strength to carry on,
For each storm cloud – a rainbow…
For each shadow – the sun…
For each parting – sweet memories when sorrow is done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beary Hazy Days

Sunset, Mingus 6.23.21

I have started working on a small gift for a young gentleman. Acrylic on canvas, 4 x 4 inches. Honestly, I am very intimidated at the thought of painting fur. I found a very good Youtube video. Fingers crossed.

Beary Beginning

First Layers.

There are fires to the north of us, near Flagstaff. And fires to the east. Far enough away that we are not in the path. But the smoke has been visible all weekend. Today the view was a white wall. No sign of the mountain or hills.

Early Afternoon, 6.27.21

6 pm, 6.27.21

We had a nice spot of rain on Friday.

Rain Over Mingus. 6.25.21

Clouds are forecast for next week. A chance of some thunderstorms, but only slight hope for rain. Clouds are always welcome. Dry lightning. Not so much.

The sky and the sun are always there.
It’s the clouds that come and go.

How sweet to be a cloud. Floating in the blue!
