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.

Husk

We had a bumper crop of tomatillos this year. A curious thing we discovered is that the husk can dry, leaving only the veins as a fragile, beautiful remnant. This is preserved, framed by photography as well preserved and framed in my mind.

Delicate

Extraordinarily delicate hues touch early evening cirrus, contrasting with the bold green of the cedars.

Burst

As our warm days slip away, replaced by more seasonal single digit (Celsius) temperatures, this bush provides one more burst of glory before the leaves fall.

What a wonderful time of year.

Reflect

This is a season of slowing down, of reflection. We reflect on the gifts of summer and, if we are open, the gifts of fall and of the season, the seasons to come.

Greeting the sun

The first rays of a new day grace the neighbourhood pine tree.

Welcome. It’s good to see another day. It’s good to be alive.

Dancing

Some people might think it’s hard to get a good photo when your subject is dancing wildly in a brisk breeze.

I think it is not.

Gold

I was compelled to stop and take in the glory of a golden morning. What a blessing and a privilege to see such beauty.

Ablaze

One tree, gloriously ablaze in this bush across the harvested field, peeks through a small opening to let the world know that it bows to the inevitable, the turning of the seasons.
