Saint Patrick’s Day had come and gone but its memory had not faded into the sunset. The lowering sunbeams set the green cloth and vase on the buffet aglow, and then burst into rainbow stripes that danced in the background. It was a delightful “sharin’ o’ the green” for all eyes, Irish or not. #greenContinue reading “Irish Eyes”

Goodnight Birdies
The seed in the feeders is going down nearly as fast as the setting sun. Goldfinches, sparrows, chickadees, cardinals, and a host of other birds have been jostling for dining space at the feeders. Now all is calm, but come sunrise another feeding frenzy will commence, much to our delight. #birds #birdfeeders #cardinals #chickadees #sparrowsContinue reading “Goodnight Birdies”
Forked
I had to do a double take after I snapped this photo to separate the fork from the shadow in my mind’s eye because of the illusion of contortion. It almost seemed more twisted than a pretzel or some of the yoga poses I have seen. #fork #shadow #sunset #yoga #contortions
Gnome Aglow
It has been a great holiday season but soon it will be time to put the decorations away and get on with a new year. In the meantime Santa Gnome is catching some last rays as the sun sets on the season. #gnome #santa #holidayseason #sunset
Storm Warning
Milton is on its way, but the worst of the storm will pass well to the south of us. We will be spared the 100+ MPH winds, probably more like 30-50 MPH here, but a lot of rain is expected. Fortunately, we are on high ground and fared very well 20 years ago when multipleContinue reading “Storm Warning”
Substance and Shadow
The sun finally came out today just as it was about to go down. The rain had stopped, drops glistened on leaves and limbs in the yard, and sunbeams spotlighted the ukulele, casting its shadow upon the door. A moment of magic frozen in time. #ukulele #rain #sunset #sunbeam #shadow
Sunset Cicada Serenade
It was hard to tell which tickled the senses more, the sunset’s glow or the sound of myriads of cicadas singing their evening songs. Both captivated the attention. To hear the cicadas see: https://youtu.be/BaqjeUvfnAE?si=g91O0GsU8LCtIQcO #cicadas #sunset
Sunset Siblings
Venus, the small dot near the right horizon, has taken its place as the evening star once again while the grinning crescent moon lies higher in the twilight sky. Together, they trace the path that the sun will appear to follow as it heads south towards fall and then on to winter. #venus #moon #sunContinue reading “Sunset Siblings”
Fairy in the Wings
Shadows in the setting sun highlight the magic of wings while living with a Fairy highlights the magic of life. #fairy #shadows #sunset
Promise or Harbinger?
Rain, winds, thunder, and lightning shook the region in recent days and left this parting sign in the evening sky. Is it an assurance that that the tempest is over, or a warning of turbulent times to come? #sunset #storm #rain #harbinger #thunder #lightning
