Things are not so much with the funny lately so I am reposting my highest rated post from last year; Ice Scraper Ice protest.
Back in December, In Monrovia (my old stomping grounds) hundreds of PEACEFUL protesters, no paid domestic terrorists in sight, bought 17 cent ice scrapers at Home Depot. Then got back in line, and returned them. Hundreds of people. The store was forced to close.

cold morning
with one deep breath
winter enters me
Winter snow minimalist abstract lines is a hand-painted acrylic painting painted by artist Karen Kaspar.
Soft blue and turquoise lines create a tranquil, abstract representation reminiscent of a tranquil winter landscape with snow-covered fields. The gentle gradient from the centre to the edges gives the impression of a calm, open space under a clear sky with a snow-covered path leading through the snow to the horizon.
We got to see these mysterious creatures up close and personal. Watching them move seemed to calm my vagus nerve. Peaceful....They are mostly in the rivers, but sometimes they show up at the beach!
Peace is a hand-painted acrylic painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
The abstract painting is painted in various bright shades of green, blue-green and blue and expresses peace, hope, faith, joy and love. Blurred geometric shapes form a cross shape in this work of art. Shades of green and blue blend together softly, creating a calming atmosphere. The word "Peace" is prominently displayed toward the left side.
Peaceful Pacific Grove 💙 watercolor
My painting is inspired by walks along the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail. The original has just sold at Moraga Art Gallery. A lovely #BayArea gallery, please visit when you have a chance. https://moragaartgallery.com
Watercolor painting of a coastal scene in Pacific Grove, California. Blue water, waves, ice plant and flowers in the foreground. Rocks, cliff, sailboat in the distance. Blue sky and clouds.
This is an autumn season photo taken at a "T" intersection of two paths. A number of the trees are in the foreground which still have colourful leaves attached. Some of the leaves however have fallen and cover the ground. The background has vegetation that is still green in places. This photo definitely has an autumn vibe and feel to it. The frame is filled with colour.
Seagull at the beach is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A seagull is standing at a sandy beach. In the background is the deep blue ocean painted in vibrant shades of blue,teal and emerald green. Above the blue sky, no clouds.
Whimsical Bird on a Wire is an acrylic painting in modern square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute little robin sits fluffed up like a ball of feathers on a wire. The background is abstracted in light blue tones. The inspiration for this painting was a robin that lives in our garden and sat fluffed up next to our bird feeder on a frosty winter's day, enjoying the warming rays of the morning sun.
Here I added the text Peace on Earth and cropped the original artwork to a vertical format.
Now the design is perfect as a Christmas card or for Christmas decorations in your home.
The image captures a serene natural scene, in a wooded setting with a creek, featuring:
Misty Morning Light: Golden rays of sunlight pierce through the trees, illuminating a misty area near a creek, creating a soft and ethereal glow.
Reflective Water: The still surface of the water perfectly reflects the surrounding trees and the luminous mist, adding depth and tranquility to the scene.
Lush Vegetation: Dense foliage, including trees and undergrowth, lines the banks of the water, with some plants highlighted by the sunlight.
Tranquil Atmosphere: The combination of mist, light, and reflections evokes a peaceful and natural ambiance, suggesting an early morning setting in the Pacific Northwest.
For now. Perhaps some other hiker will walk by, stop to look at the stillness, listen to the silence. But I imagine they won't want to break the peace with noise, but rather, will want to breathe in the clearness, the beauty, the calm.
In this little quiet place, all to myself. All to myself.
The little stream wandered, one could almost say, strolled, through its landscape, creating its own personal path based upon gravity and whatever barriers stood in its way.
But no barrier was such that it blocked the stream's progress. It was determined to keep moving, and it did.
A close, tactile portrait of a weathered Buddha face: charcoal stone softened by age, speckled with warm gold leaf, eyes gently closed. Soft, directional light deepens the textures and carves a calm, contemplative mood—minimal, serene, and quietly luminous.
This artwork settles beautifully in living rooms that lean organic and modern, bedrooms designed for rest, or entryways where a tranquil first impression matters. It also suits meditation corners, yoga studios, spas, therapy rooms, and boutique hotel lobbies, where the subtle gold and stone textures add warmth without visual noise.
Ideal for mindfulness practitioners, yoga lovers, wellness brands, interior stylists, spa owners, and collectors of Asian-inspired art who want a refined focal piece that radiates calm and timeless presence.
A photograph I captured on a perfect day of sunshine and warmth on 20th May 2016 at Palm Beach, Sydney, Australia. The sea was tranquil and crystal clear with many beautiful colors and pretty small waves were lapping at the seashore upon the colorful wet sand. There was a beautiful rich blue sky with some cumulus clouds floating by. It was just like paradise. May is our last month of Autumn, but our weather has been like summer or spring. Warm and beautiful.
