Taken on 21 June 2024 at 20:33 US Eastern Daylight Savings Time, as I hurried up the street through the break in the rain.

My limited equipment does the scene nothing even remotely resembling justice: neither the multi-layered gauzy rainbow-sherbet luminosity nor the grand theatricality of the skyscape, with the air of a vintage book illustration or a meticulously painted film backdrop. A detail I particularly like is the small dark cumulus cloud at bottom center that suggests a person astride a charging (pig? bear? huge dog?)

The weather has clearly turned when we have to turn on the AC to sleep at night, but finally seeing most of the trees in bloom was also high on the list.

It was actually about 7 AM several weeks ago when I took this so it wasn't anywhere near sunrise. But I noticed that while it stays light longer now, that overcast days tended to have a slow spread of sunshine in the morning. Anyway, made for some great colors and shadows. ( Read more... )

Liked the squiggles in the sky from a sunset a few days ago. ( Read more... )

Taken at 5:52 PM EST 22 December 2023, this is something I really should’ve posted a year ago; I’m squeezing it under the wire just as the outgoing Lunar Year expires.

From the parking lot of my neighborhood Publix: the Rabbit prepares to hand the year over to the Dragon.

This afternoon I went outside intending to fasten the decorative wagonwheel, but it was half-buried under snow. I noticed the view looked pretty, though, so I went back for my camera and took pictures instead.

I usually see sunsets out west from our apartment but the hotel room in Duluth faced east I was surprised there was such a glow out over the water. It was great to see a moon rise !

We had a bunch of muskrat sightings over the summer. There has been a mating pair in our lake and they are still active as we can usually see one floating in the water most days.

In my last post I had pics of battling hummingbirds. Another thing they start doing is staking out the feeder and ambushing their competitors. This is a good opportunity for us to get some photos of them hanging out in the plant pots as normally they're in and out pretty quickly.

I liked the look of this sunset, with the contrail looking like a comet. What follows is an assortment of pics from past months.

I've found it fascinating how clouds can seem to be rising from the ground, looking like distant mountains. In the photo above you can distinguish the top cloud cover but I like the way this looks like a shadow frame of the sky.( Read more... )

Along with little birds at our food plate, we've seen some of the bigger ones out by the water again. ( Read more... )

I took some pictures of the wildflower garden today after I finished cleaning it up. I leave things through the winter because some of the plants, like the northern sea oats and echinacea, have seeds for wildlife. I pick off and plant a lot of the seeds but never get around to all of them. Goldfinches especially like to cling to the seedheads and peck out the seeds.

These pink blossoms were so pretty to see. When I got closer I could tell the tree was abuzz with bees and was able to snap one going about its work.

The horizon glow was such a contrast to the blackening clouds approaching it. ( Read more... )

Got some pretty color in the sky a few days ago. I liked how the clouds seem to be rising off the trees like pink fire. ( Read more... )

Not many birds nearby with the holiday decorations up, but we did get some nice colors in the sky earlier this week.
