And that's a wrap on a beautiful day in the neighbourhood! #Photography #EastCoastKin #Guelph

Foggy morning. Conifers mixed in with lifting fog.

We endured strong winds & sleet showers, we were wet and cold, but the light made it worth it. The skies opened, the magic happened, & we rushed to capture the awe inspiring beauty! Tombstone, Yukon, Canada.⁠

A black and white photo of Mount Manaslu framed by a plume of cloud drifting upward, echoing the mountain’s peaks. Light and wind carve a temporary silhouette that hangs for only a heartbeat.

For a fleeting moment, the clouds perfectly mirrored the peaks of Manaslu (the 8th highest mountain in the world).

Our picture shows a peaceful riverside landscape washed entirely in warm golden light, as if the world has been dipped in molten amber. The sun hangs high in the sky,large, bright, and glowing intensely, casting a sweeping golden hue across everything below. Its reflection shimmers perfectly on the still water, creating a second glowing orb on the rivers surface. In the center distance, tall leafless trees stand like dark silhouettes against the brilliant sky. A lone bird, likely an egret, is wading quietly in the shallow water. The river is calm, with only gentle ripples and scattered twigs breaking its surface. Bushes and small trees frame the water on both sides, their branches appearing almost black against the overwhelming golden brightness. In the far distance to the left, the faint outline of a small tower or steeple rises above the treeline. The entire scene feels tranquil, dreamlike, and almost otherworldly. Bathed in the deep, warm glow of a fading day. And finally, our picture is finished with a simple, white border fame. And now for my poem inspired by this shot.. I call it… “Where the Golden Quiet Falls” Beneath a sun that melts the sky Into a bowl of burnished gold, A silent river reflects the light, A story waiting to be told. A lone bird stands, the world held still, Its shadow drifting at its feet; The trees, like watchmen carved from dusk, Stand guard where earth and heaven meet. No breeze to stir the woven calm, No sound but water’s gentle call; Here time slows down, and hearts grow soft Where evening’s golden quiet falls. And in this hush, the day exhales, A final breath, so warm and deep, A promise whispered to the night: Some beauty never goes to sleep.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ A little something l took during the week with a poem in the Alt to for this shot. Have a golden day friends ☺️#Stunday #Photography #EastCoastKin #Poem #Poetry #PhotographyOfBlueSky

A great blue heron sits on the edge of fish rearing tanks. The local high school has raised salmon, steelhead, and rainbow trout. My favorite local walk.

For #StunDay
Our local millpond’s smokestack has a memorial painted on it, and the purple background in this photo is a reflection in the water of that painting. #GreatBlueHeron #10MinutesFromHome

Am posting a little faster than usual today, as my trip back to the mainland from #Maui begins shortly. We did have a nice rainbow just outside our complex one day this week, shown here.

Did not want to go for a run. Went. Rewards level: enchanted forest.

Life is just like this… a whole made of storms, light, and shadows. And within that whole, we lose ourselves—just to find ourselves again. 💙

A lone Laughing Gull walks left in shallow, sunlit orange and blue, rippled surf water. Behind it is shallow blue and then deeper, navy swelling ocean waves.
