Yosemite Falls in Black and White II

This image shows what is known as the beard of Yosemite Falls. The frozen ice that freezes along the sides of the fall overnight. As the day moves on and the day warms up the beard starts melting of and can completely melt by the end of the day.

Yosemite Falls In Black And White II

The photograph captures Yosemite Falls in stark black and white, transforming the familiar cascade into something almost mythic. The towering granite walls rise like ancient monoliths, their surfaces etched with deep shadows and pale highlights that feel cold to the touch—like stone that has never fully warmed, even in summer.

From the upper reaches of the frame, the waterfall plunges downward in a long, silken ribbon of white. In monochrome, the water looks less like liquid and more like drifting smoke or torn fabric, pulled relentlessly by gravity. You can almost hear the distant roar—a low, continuous thunder softened by the winter air.

Along the sides of the falls clings the “beard” of ice: thick, frozen drapery that appears heavy and brittle. It hangs in jagged layers, like crystal armor. You can imagine the texture—rough, sharp, and cold enough to sting your fingertips. In places, the ice catches the light and glows faintly, as if lit from within.

The surrounding cliffs are massive and brooding. Their surfaces are mottled with snow and shadow, giving them a rugged, weathered presence. The air in the scene feels crisp and thin, the kind that fills your lungs with a clean, metallic chill.

The overall mood is powerful and serene at once—nature in its raw winter form, stripped of color, leaving only texture, contrast, and the elemental force of falling water.

The elder is throwing its creamy heads right now — you have about two weeks.

The old people kept it for fevers and the first scratch of a cold. Snip the heads late morning when the scent is up, shake the little life out of them, and steep. Then skip the fourteen-dollar bottle: a gallon of cordial is sugar, a few lemons, a spoon of citric acid, and a slow afternoon. Steep overnight, strain, sweeten, bottle.

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Ladybird on four-leaf clover' won first place in the Fine Art America contest 'Saint Patrick's Day' run by the Creative Women Group.
Thank you to everyone who voted!

Ladybird on four-leaf clover is a detail from the watercolor painting A lucky day painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The original painting was painted in landscape format. Here, a section in square format was chosen. Another cut-out in portrait format is also available in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

Gibbon Falls

Gibbon Falls in Yellowstone National Park is a very beautiful waterfall that I could just sit by for hours. It's not the largest waterfall in the park but it just has a certain charm.
Just love sitting next to the falls listening to the water rush over the rocks trying to follow single drop down the fall. being almost hypnotized by the constant flow of water.

Gibbon Falls

The photograph opens like a breath of cool mountain air. Gibbon Falls spills diagonally across the frame, a sweeping white ribbon of water unfurling over dark volcanic rock. The long exposure turns the cascade into soft, silken veils—layers of liquid gauze that drape themselves over the jagged stone like fabric caught in motion.

You can almost hear it: a deep, steady roar softened by distance, the kind of sound that settles into your chest rather than your ears. The water seems to rush in a continuous, unbroken exhale, each drop tumbling into the next until the entire fall becomes a single, hypnotic movement.

The black‑and‑white treatment heightens the drama. Shadows pool in the crevices of the rock face, giving the falls a sculptural presence—like carved obsidian streaked with luminous silver. Highlights shimmer along the water’s path, catching the eye and guiding it downward in a smooth, unhurried glide.

There’s a sense of coolness in the air, the kind that beads lightly on your skin. The surrounding landscape is implied rather than shown, but you can feel its presence—pine-scented, spacious, wild.

The overall mood is meditative. The falls invite you to linger, to trace the water’s journey from top to bottom, to let the rhythm of the flow quiet your thoughts. It’s the kind of scene where time slows down, where the constancy of nature becomes its own kind of comfort.

I’m Senono Steven, an environmental activist from Uganda committed to protecting our planet and building a healthier, greener future for everyone.

My work is driven by a simple belief: environmental protection is not only about nature—it is about people, communities, health, livelihoods, and the future generations who will inherit the world we leave behind.

I use my voice, knowledge, and actions to raise awareness about climate change, environmental conservation, pollution, waste management, biodiversity, tree planting, sustainable living, and the importance of protecting our natural resources.

I believe meaningful change starts with individuals and grows through communities. That is why I encourage young people and everyone around me to take practical action, share environmental knowledge, care for their surroundings, and become part of solutions rather than remaining silent about environmental challenges.

My mission is to inspire environmental responsibility, promote sustainable practices, support conservation, and encourage communities to protect the ecosystems that sustain us.

My vision is a Uganda—and a world—where people and nature can thrive together, where clean air and water are valued, forests and biodiversity are protected, and future generations can enjoy a safe and sustainable planet.

I’m here to learn, connect, educate, collaborate, and turn environmental concern into action. Every tree planted, every piece of waste properly managed, every person inspired, and every positive conversation can contribute to a bigger change.

Protect nature. Inspire action. Build a sustainable future.

Three Brothers II

The steep granite cliffs of Yosemite Valley are majestic and awe inspiring.
The Valley floor is covered in pine needles from the surrounding pine forest.
The Three Brothers look out over the magnificent Yosemite Valley as threatening clouds move through the valley.
Great as a gift for home or office.

Three Brothers II

The photograph centers on the Three Brothers, a towering granite formation rising sharply above the Yosemite Valley floor. You can almost feel the crisp mountain air as threatening clouds drift through the valley, casting shifting shadows across the steep, majestic cliffs. Below, the ground is softened by a carpet of pine needles from the surrounding forest , adding an earthy warmth that contrasts with the cool, ancient stone above.

Friendly sparrows on a branch part one - hand-painted watercolor painting

Friendly Sparrows on a Branch Part One is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

A delicate watercolor painting depicts a male sparrow sitting on a branch and looking cheerfully to the right. The background features an abstract design with vibrant splashes of pink, orange and blue, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere. The bright colors accentuate the sparrows plumage and highlight the birds delicate features.

Perhaps the songbird is perched in a garden, in a tree with bright blossoms in spring, or against a colourful sky in the morning or evening. Or is the colourful foliage of the trees already glowing in the background in autumn? Perhaps the bird lives in the city, whose vibrant colours shine in the background.
The abstraction leaves room for your own interpretation.

This painting is part of my small series of three watercolors, each depicting a sparrow on a branch against a colorful background.

‘Little Blue Tit on a Branch’ is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A little blue tit sits on a thin branch, looking to the right. Its blue and yellow plumage is reflected in the soft green tones of the abstract background.
Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) are welcome visitors to the bird feeder and in my garden. I love watching them and they are always a welcome subject for new paintings.

Fall on the Merced

Golden autumn trees glow along the Merced River as soft morning fog drifts through Yosemite Valley, reflecting warm color onto the still water. This peaceful, atmospheric scene captures the quiet magic of fall in one of America’s most iconic landscapes.

Fall On The Merced

Golden autumn trees flare with warm light along the quiet Merced River, their reflections trembling softly on the glassy surface as a thin veil of morning fog drifts between the trunks. The air feels cool and still, carrying the earthy scent of damp leaves while the muted glow of Yosemite Valley wraps the entire scene in a gentle, dreamlike calm.
