I didn’t set out to make this week’s offerings photography-heavy; it just turned out that way. Enjoy, shutterbugs.

• Photographs of the sun and the moon that will knock your socks off.
• Extraordinary wildlife photographs.
• Why writers (and other creatives) should have professional photos.
• The more you practice, the better you get, as these pictures show. Actually, I wish I could draw as well as some of the beginning efforts here.
• For those who are prone to senior moments.
• For the bloggers: “Create to connect to those who need you.” This quote comes toward the end of the article. I think it might be my new motto for ARHtisticLicense.
• Excellent tips for photo portraiture.
• I am definitely going to make this quilt. A good way to use up those miscellaneous odd pieces of fabric.
• A new museum focusing on Edvard Munch is opening in October in Oslo, Norway.
• The story of Franz Marc, an artist who inspired Mary Oliver.
• I lived in New Jersey for the first half of my life and never knew there was an art museum in Newark. It’s fabulous! I must see it the next time I’m in the Garden State.
• Photos of Montmartre in Paris.
