Snow shower, Lambton County
Late afternoon, another sign of the changing season.
Month: November 2014
Tendrils
Tendrils of snow fall through the evening sky, evaporating before reaching ground level.
Attractive
Brussels sprouts are quite tasty roasted. The plants are also quite pretty.
Snared
Shot through the weave of trellis netting, a Mourning Dove and House Sparrow share a perch.
Fancy dog toys? Naaaah.
Stella does not need a fancy-dancy toy from PetSmart. She found a paper towel core brought home from work, with all kinds of interesting odors coating its rough surface, very interesting. It was fascinating to watch her get involved, tossing it, batting it with a paw, things she normally does not do. After she lost interest I picked it up and put it away, to be re-introduced at a later date.
Sometimes the best toys are simple ones, disguised as everyday run-of-the-mill objects.
Weathered
An old, weatherbeaten shed takes on a ruddy glow in late afternoon sun.
Long Shadows, Revisited
I close my eyes and imagine. My minds’ eye conjures my dad, a WWII C-47 pilot who dropped paratroops over Normandy on Jule 6 1944. Uncle Joe, the LSO on the USS Kalinin Bay during the (naval) Battle off Samar. Uncle Bill, who left part of his arm at Tarawa. The hundreds of thousands, millions, of men and women who have served and sacrificed in times of war, crisis, peace. All who serve now.
Their shadows loom ever so long. We were, are, deeply indebted.
Air, brushed
A variety of shapes and textures graces the late afternoon sky, as the sun blazes one last time.
Long shadows
While the time change can be discombobulating, it can also bring a photographer new opportunities. I was unlikely to have captured this image before ‘falling back’.
It’s good to appreciate new opportunities, though they my be clothed in inconvenience.
Moonrise, Lambton County
A soothing end to the day.
