Father's Day Promotions

If you have checked my Facebook page lately, or my Twitter page, or even my Zazzle store, you will have seen that Zazzle has had a Father's Day promotion just about every day last week! Each one lasted just a day, but today they have a new deal that lasts through this coming Thursday. You can use it on any item, not just Father's Day products. Here are some suggestions.

Rocky Mountain Clouds

Rocky Mountain Clouds by Airwin_Art

Continuing the trip in Colorado, here is another view of Colorado. The dramatic sky adds beauty to an already impressive mountain view. You can find all of the products featuring this photo here.

Cliff Dwellings

Cliff Dwellings Poster by Airwin_Art

I greatly admire the accomplishments of the ancient Pueblo People. Their resourcefulness in survival, their knowledge of the sun, moon, and stars, and their spirituality, they utilized it all to build a highly-functional society. This is one such place that was sacred... More products featuring this photo can be found here.

Beautiful Colorado

Recently Added

As I mentioned in my last post, I spent some time in Colorado on vacation and saw some of the most amazing scenery. It really makes me thankful to be able to live in such a beautiful place and that I am able to travel to the many gems this country has to offer.

Rocky Montain National Park

This park offered some of the most dramatic skies, given the constant thread of rain and even thunderstorms. Even so, the sun was doing its best to shine a little light. Here the rays managed to find a way through the clouds. You can find the full selection of products featuring this photo here.

Sangre de Cristo Mountains

On our way to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, these mountains loomed in front of me. A sub-range of the Rocky Mountains, the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range stretch from southern Colorado all the way to northern New Mexico. It was an impressive sight to see!

I'd Rather Be...Fishing

Recently Added

With Mother's Day only a little ways behind us, I thought I'd get a head start on Father's Day. My Zazzle Store now features a new line of products called "Gone Fishing."

Gone Fishing

Gone Fishing... Poster by Airwin_Art

While I was vacationing at Rocky Mountain National Park, I noticed this lone fisherman who looked at peace with nature. It was so quiet, and he was able to ignore the hikers walking around the lake. Perhaps he was a local, perhaps he was on his dream vacation. What a beautiful place to practice your favorite pastime! 

These products are perfect for the fishing Dad in your life. Show him how much you care by giving him a reminder of the sport he loves best. However, if your dad is not into fishing, the products below would be a great alternative!

Floral Color Palette

Recently Added

I have added some beautiful florals to my Zazzle Store. This time I focused on purple and orange. One was found in the wild, the other was planted in a regional park. Both had a beauty that I hope I captured on (digital) film.

Bush Lupine

This beautiful wildflower was spotted in abundance at Pinnacles National Monument. It usually grows in a bush. Also known as "Silver Lupine," it is native to California and can be found in many other locations as well. Be sure to look out for it next time you travel to regional, state, or national park!

Orange Beauty

I spotted these beautiful flowers on the grounds of Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont.They were planted by the Patterson House, where it thrived in a lovely garden. Alas, there was no tag to tell me the name of these beauties. But name or no name, they are a pleasure to behold and to share!

Both of these flowers are available on a variety of customizable products. More florals can be found in my store here.

Thanks for looking in!

Can Trees Be Poetry?

Recently Added

In my previous posting I wrote about (and posted the photos) of a hike I recently took in a fair green country. From several viewers I heard the comment that it resembles the Shire (you Tolkien fans know what I'm talking about). I hadn't thought about it, but yes, it does!

My next thought was that the Tree Poetry photo – my new addition to the Zazzle store – must be the Party Tree, but the slope is probably too steep for comfortable partying.

Tree Poetry

Tree Poetry Print by Airwin_Art

This tree dominated the landscape, it was so much larger than any of the other trees. Bent branches reaching in every direction. Can trees be poetry? They are if we can believe Joyce Kilmer. He once wrote: 

"I think that I shall never see 

A poem lovely as a tree." 

This quote is included on several of the new Tree Poetry products. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Green Landscapes

Recently Added

Recently I went on a hike at one of our regional parks. Although the first part of the hike was rather steep and very challenging, the downhill part of the trail was a gently downslope that led me to a lush green landscape. It was a beautiful sunny day and the quiet, peaceful scenery was like a sedative to my busy mind. Instead of running to keep up with life, I could slow down and just enjoy the view. Below are some of the places that I found along my path. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

Valley View

Such an inviting landscape. What would happen if you entered the valley? Could you drink from the pond? Is the grass soft when you lie down on it? Imagine yourself in this lush green valley every time your eyes rest on this print.

Country Barn

This was such a cool barn. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by green hills, this barn did not detract from the landscape, but enhanced it with its charm. The cows that were grazing nearby were lucky residents indeed!
