Kicksledding through a quiet forest today. The only sound I heard was from a softly hammering woodpecker.

#kicksledding #winter #forest #nature

A narrow, snow-packed trail through a dense forest of pines, cedars, and firs. The branches of the trees are covered with a heavy layer of snow. A bit of blue sky is visible between the tree tops.

Not the flashiest of the new birds I met while in Sri Lanka, but this Asian Brown Flycatcher is a charming little fellow all the same.

The image features a vibrant red flower with elongated petals clustered along a slender, vertical stem. The petals are narrow and pointed, creating an intricate pattern as they protrude from the stem. The background is softly blurred, filled with varying shades of green, giving a sense of depth and drawing focus to the flower. The lighting highlights the bright, vivid red color of the petals.

Yelp, don't consider an AI service such as ChatGPT to be a store of important content. Always keep a backup you control (which is in general good advice when working with cloud-based services)

> When I contacted OpenAI’s support, the first responses came from an AI agent. Only after repeated enquiries did a human employee respond

Err, yes, that is to be expected? We'll see this much more in the future. Expectations will shift.

"The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them." ~ Lois McMaster Bujold

#quote #justice #winter #nature

View of a mostly empty water feature in the wintertime at the local botanical gardens with large stones positioned on an elevated cement platform between beds of vegetation with some small patches of snow, leafless bushes and trees. The trees in the distance are in sunlight but the water feature is in a mostly shady spot.

Robin in a holly bush is a hand painted watercolour painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong colour contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.
The painting is also available in a square format and cropped to portrait format in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
Here I added the text Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as Christmas card design for your seasonal greetings.

I kept this watercolor painting loose and fresh to capture the beauty of the delicate butterfly and the flowers in a summer garden.
Enjoy!

Butterfly and Pink Zinnias is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. In a summer garden, Zinnias blossom in bright pink. While the flowers and the green leaves are mainly depicted abstractly, one Zinnia blossom is more realistically worked out. An orange butterfly approaches this blossom. The picture is painted in a loose fresh style.

I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings.
Here I have put the three paintings together in Photoshop to create a panoramic picture.
Hope you like it!

Three female sparrows with soft, fluffy plumage sit together on a slender branch and have a chat. The two birds on the left are looking to the right, the house sparrow on the far right is looking to the left towards the other two. The delicate feathers of the small songbirds are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm shades of brown, purple, earth and chocolate. The birds appear calm, creating a peaceful composition.
I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings, which can also be found in my collection of bird paintings (Sparrow Meeting parts one, two and three).

Three sparrows on a branch is a hand-painted acrylic painting in a unique panoramic format by the artist Karen Kaspar.

I'm slowly starting to share more images from my multi-year project "This Land Remembers", an odyssey into the last remaining ancient native woodlands of Scotland (like this one from a brilliant Autumn morning in 2025). I also have an upcoming exhibition at Gallery Photiq this April/May featuring 12 prints from the project, including this image.

A dirt road through a forest surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves. In my area of Michigan the yellow are most likely hickory trees and the orange will be oak. The path is one lane wide and starts in the lower left and disappears over the crest of a small hill, leading into the unknown.

Samhain [sow-wen]: the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter — the moment when Beira the Cailleach, Queen of Winter, regains control over the landscape from the Queen of Summer, Brigid. It also marks the moment when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the origins of Halloween. Mountain spirits come to the fore at this time of year.
