A cheerful flower to admire on a late winter day, and to look forward to seeing this summer.

A Blanket Flower, Latin name Gaillardia pulchella, in bloom.

By paying attention.

By paying attention as well as not hurrying to my destination, I can – and do – stop to admire and capture a striking sunrise.

Fingernail moon.

Friday morning was clear, so it was a wonderful opportunity to admire the waning fingernail moon.

Striking

The light this evening was so striking that I was compelled to stop several times, admire, photograph, and give thanks for such a stunning gift.
