Was on the lookout the night it was supposed to appear, but there was a lot of cloud cover in the east, and I saw no moon at all that Thursday night.
However we did have a great sunset.

Our trip had ended in San Francisco because I was there to attend the memorial of a friend's mother. The cemetery was a beautiful place.

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?)

Spring at Last

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.

Sunrise and Sunsets

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... )
full_metal_oxTaken 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.

Photos: Winter Sunset
Jan. 16th, 2025 11:08 pmysabetwordsmithThis 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.

Sunset Colors and Goodbye to Autumn

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 !

Mixed Sightings

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.

Tiny and Tall

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.

Cloud Landscapes
Jul. 11th, 2024 05:13 pmyourlibrarian
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... )
Return of the Birds

Along with little birds at our food plate, we've seen some of the bigger ones out by the water again. ( Read more... )
Wildflower Garden
Feb. 23rd, 2024 10:58 pmysabetwordsmithI 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.
