A wee visit to #falkirk #kelpies last night. Impossible not to look in wonder at them. #art #sculpture #scotland

When you reach 100 years old in Barbados, you get a stamp in your honour.

Obsessed with the ribbons produced by the German manufacturer C. Pauli. In 2018, C. Pauli acquired an old ribbon factory in Wuppertal, Germany to keep the craft alive in that location. Their current products are absolutely stunning, featuring floral and nature motifs.

Every time I visit Durham Cathedral I genuinely get pure emotional over how incredibly beautiful the Frosterley marble pillars are 😭🖤

Scenic #hiking trails! The trails that I hike to get to scenic streams and waterfalls also have their own inherent beauty. Here are examples of the trail that I took two days ago while #snowshoeing in the #mountains in NH. This trail winds around steep terrain (left pic), travels along and across streams, and eventually steadily climbs up the ridge of the mountain (right pic). Enjoy! #snow #ice #trees #nature #explore #outside #exercise #landscape #photography #LandscapePhotography

taking a brief moment to crush on Susan Kare.

as NeXT employee #10, she invented many GUI elements and iconographies that we take for granted today.

and she invented Monaco, one of my favorite fonts, alongside Chicago, San Francisco, and Geneva.

oh yeah, and Clarus the Dogcow.

Happy green grass Spring. 💜💚❤️

Reminds me a bit of those Twitter pundit-influencers I had wanted to move to Mastodon. They all stayed, giving Musk juice — and I think so much less of them now.

I am celebrating the 40th anniversary of my hike this year with daily posts (including 40 years ago today, May 2 - Oct 3) and hopefully a sequel Appalachian Trail hike and book within the next two years, if I can get all my ducks in a row for it. It should be an interesting contrast. I was 24 when I made the original hike.

My book Then the Hail Came (A Humorous and Truthful Account of a 1983 Appalachian Trail Thru-hike) is available in both paperback and eBook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QFG4ZR6

- I smiled at the name of this boat...Little Nauti! What a cute play on the word naughty! Spotted in Hackett's Cove Nova Scotia, the brightly red of the hull of the boat matched the red doors of the boat house and the Canadian flag perfectly. #NovaScotia #boating #WAYCTV #fishing #EastCoast https://fineartamerica.com/featured/a-little-nauti-in-hacketts-cove-karen-cook.html?newartwork=true

Today I decided to wear my hex color code leggings, so technically this is not a selfie but a #5E1F1E

One of my early works. A cityscape of Ulm, Germany. Watercolor and colored pencil. Created 20+ years ago, a gift for my husband. Inspired by our travels together, painted with a love of #architecture #history and this beautiful city.
