From amidst a long stretch of grey clouds, numerous sunrays in various shades of blue, interspersed with white rays, are radiating upward as far as the eye can see here, & well beyond. Silhouettes of desert trees grace lower part of the scene, with distant foothills tucked behind them… Taken on the last day of spring, years ago.

Over-flowing with blue and white sunrays, a desert #Sky –
In actuality the rays fanned out, far beyond what the image is!
It was a breathtaking moment in creation…

Black and white image of an arched bridge over the canal and trees reflected in the water.

A timeless reflection — meeting in perfect symmetry 🖤🤍

Spider web art on a frosty morning in Arkansas.

Indeed! It made me laugh out loud. Whoever made snowmen in this scene was very clever and has a great sense of humor. I saw this somewhere on the internet years ago and saved it.

A winter Arkansas sunset.

Have a good day everyone!

This photo by Sarah Cottrell shows a frosty winter morning landscape with two large bare trees silhouetted against a vibrant purple and pink sunrise sky, frosted grass in the foreground, and a rustic wooden fence.

The sky is a mixture of light blue sky and dramatic, dark and light clouds. Sunbeams break through the clouds, creating a strong contrast and a radiant light effect. Dark, heavy clouds dominate the lower and left areas, while lighter, fluffy clouds and the translucent sunbeams can be seen in the upper and right areas. Two birds can be seen silhouetted against the brighter sky in the left and centre of the image.

Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen." – Rainer Maria Rilke

A late sunset photo over the sea, some shore visible in the foreground and islands in the distance. A few scattered clouds are lit orange

Ein geschwungener Weg führt ins Bild.Rechts davon eine Baugruppe durch die die tiefstehende Sonne.Sie ist sternförmig zu sehen durch die geschlossene Blende.Der Himmel fast wolkenlos aber etwas gelblich durch die goldene Stunde.Die Bäume herbstlich verfärbt

A photograph of a European Robin that is facing forward showing off his bright orange chest. His head is turned to the right as viewed as he clings on to a thin branch. The background is festive that shows blurry shadows of surrounding fir tree branches and light snow falling.

A #HolidayRobin to brighten up the timelines and to wish you all a good weekend. 📷 🪶

A very cute little titmouse is hopping about an inch above a large branch and is looking down so that its black crest is completely displayed, along with the short black beak and large black eye. The bird's gray wings are slightly flared and its tail is straight behind. The white belly feathers are somewhat floofed from the movement and its legs are stretched down toward the branch.

From April at Estero Llano Grande SP (TX), this Black-crested Titmouse was hopping about in a successful effort to look totally adorable.

Tux wanted to have his photo submitted for #Caturday so posed very nicely. He's one of our five adopted strays.
