Happy Tuesday! It was overcast today so here is another photo from yesterday's stellar sunrise, this one taken about 10 minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

It has been a while since we have been to the beach. Need to fix that.
Have a great day.

Abstract macro image of translucent bubbles made by mixing oil with water suspended in deep blue liquid, with varying sizes forming an organic cluster; highlights and reflections create a glowing, almost cosmic effect.

You can see two bare winter trees on the shore. The sky above the lake is coloured blue and orange, and the water glows golden. In the background, you can see the Swiss Alps still glowing in the sun.

Wishing you a wonderful evening ✨️🫶

Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had one of our top 10 sunrises of the year, reasonably easy to achieve given that we are only five days in 😄. But in all seriousness it was a major stunner on every front. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

The galloping hoofbeats have long gone silent on this field, but if one knows where to look, one may still find some Kingsfoil, growing down by the creek.

The Night is Darkest

Shooting straight into the rising sun gave me this really dark and kinda grungy shot.
I quite like the feeling of disquiet that it gives me.

Monochrome image of trees at the rim of Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA. Pines on the left appear pretty healthy. A bare trunked and branched tree on the right still hanging on. There are sunny rock cliffs to the left, hazy distant hills and a sky full of large, puffy clouds.

Trees on the rim of Bryce Canyon face some challenges.
Young and old exist on the edge of the precipice.

A tranquil waterside at dusk, with bare winter trees silhouetted against a pastel sky of soft blues, pinks and gold. Houses glow with warm lights along the far bank, reflected in the calm pond, creating a peaceful scene suggestive of renewal and quiet beginnings.

Looking Over The Pond

The year turns softly, breath held still,
As light finds courage in the cold.
Reflections whisper: start again -
New stories waiting to be told.

A forest scene with tall tree trunks standing close together, viewed through a soft, dark foreground formed by out-of-focus moss or vegetation. Diffused light filters through light fog or haze, creating a bright background behind the trees. A small cluster of remaining autumn leaves is visible between the trunks. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves, and muted tones of green, brown, and pale white dominate the scene, emphasizing depth, vertical lines, and a quiet, atmospheric woodland setting.

Happy Sunday! We are at the end of our holiday stretch! We had clouds this morning so here's another shot from yesterday 11 minutes before sunrise looking south. I liked that the cloud angle and the shore angle were parallel. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Just another beautiful mountain lake.
Here's to a fun weekend.
