The #sunset a couple of nights ago here in Ka'anapali, #Maui cycled through several variations of color before easing into the nightfall. The initial, early version was of a #ColorADay #YellowThu variety.

A view of Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California from the beach. A bright blue sky with white puffy clouds is reflected in the water and wet sand. A group of small birds are walking along the shoreline.

A sweeping landscape view of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales shows deep green forested valleys rolling out in layered waves toward a distant plateau lined with reddish sandstone cliffs. The sky is filled with thick, stretched cloudsβbroad gray shelves stacked across the frameβwith bright patches of blue glowing between them. In the foreground, eucalyptus branches lean in from the right and bottom edges, their leaves catching hints of rust, olive, and gold. The mid-ground ridges fall and rise in slow undulations, each layer fading slightly cooler and bluer with distance. Far off on the horizon, the escarpmentβs warm-toned rock band catches the eye, forming a clean visual anchor against the shifting sky. This scene rests in the tension between vastness and quiet detail: the immensity of the valleys balanced by the whisper of eucalyptus leaves in the foreground. It feels like a moment suspendedβclouds in motion above a landscape that has barely changed in millennia.

Morning light drifts across the Blue Mountains, softening ridgelines into layered greens beneath a ceiling of restless clouds.

A path along the shore of a turquoise colored glacier lake. Evergreen trees line both sides of the path and snow covered mountain peaks can be seen in the distance. The sky is bright blue with a few white clouds.

For a quick timeline cleanse, I finally got my morning walk in even though it was 2 PM, and the water and sky looked quite pleasing. Tap for full size. I hope you are having a great day!

#WaterfallWednesday
From a 2019 #roadtrip to Gunlock #Waterfalls near St George #Utah. The water will only be present if there was enough snowpack for that winter. Hopefully we'll get a photo op this next spring.

One can walk through the streets of small town #Telluride, #Colorado right onto the trailhead for the Jud Wiebe Trail, shown here a little higher up looking back towards town, a few summers ago. For #BlueskyMonday and #MountainMonday.

Don't let the weather get you down. The beauty about photography is that there are always opportunities, you only need to see them! Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa.
