A new adventure painting, from our first visit to Muir Woods, a truly magical redwood forest just north of San Francisco. We were there in the late afternoon, and found it low in crowds and high in light rays 😍
Another adventure painting, a driftwood log I found covered in moss and lichen, at Gold Beach earlier this month. (I found a lot of cool driftwood that day!) One for #Mosstodon? Enjoy!
Just another day in the tropics! Spotted a flattened snake on my morning walk. This brave man and his equally brave poodle removed the snake from the road before it could be one with the road forever.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an adventure painting! Tonight’s is a beautiful sunset I saw last week on Edmonds Pier overlooking the Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula.
Here's a little nugget for #ThickTrunkTuesday: A vertical panoramic image in a coastal redwood forest, Arcata Community #Redwood Forest to be exact. A view from ground level to the #forest canopy, a little slice of heaven.
Image is in portrait orientation-- it's well worth it to see this slice of forest in full view, so click the image to full size!
From Wikipedia: Mount Tehama (also called Brokeoff Volcano or Brokeoff Mountain) is an eroded andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the Cascade Range in Northern California. Part of the Lassen volcanic area, its tallest remnant, Brokeoff Mountain, is itself the second highest peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park and connects to the park's highest point, Lassen Peak. Located on the border of Tehama County and Shasta County, Brokeoff's peak is the highest point in the former.
Today’s art share has me thinking back to last summer and seeing this magnificent Oregon coast shipwreck in person! I’d love to go back at a different time of day, see how it changes with the tide…
Throwback to this idyllic path to the cliff edge at #SueMegStatePark, in Trinidad, California. This little 'secret path' is what makes campsite 105 so special.
Waking up to sunrays piecing the marine layer fog drifting through the cypress canopy, the crashing ocean beyond the cliffs a few steps away, and campfire smoke. My kind of morning.
"The theory of exodus proposes that the most effective way of opposing capitalism and the liberal state is not through direct confrontation but by means of what Paolo Virno has called “engaged withdrawal,”mass defection by those wishing to create new forms of community.
One need only glance at the historical record to confirm that most successful forms of popular resistance have taken precisely this form. They have not involved challenging power head on (this usually leads to being slaughtered, or if not, turning into some—often even uglier—variant of the very thing one first challenged) but from one or another strategy of slipping away from its grasp, from flight, desertion, the founding of new communities.”
