These majestic creatures (Cygnus columbianus, link to AllAboutBirds from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are quite shy and keep a healthy distance from humans. This pair did not care for my presence a mere 200 or so meters away and took flight.
Air, brushed
A variety of shapes and textures graces the late afternoon sky, as the sun blazes one last time.
Blush
The first touch of the morning sun puts a blush on this cirrus.

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.
Gratitude
It’s good to be alive.
Katydid
I don’t know what Katy did, but this living, moving emerald jewel insect was completely unperturbed by my presence.
