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.

Briefly

.The sun briefly appeared this morning between horizon and clouds.

Wondrously, marvellously.

A recent sunrise set the sky wondrously, marvellously, spectacularly, beautifully, ablaze.

Red sky at morning . . .

. . . sailor take warning.

The old saying certainly held true for non-sailors in southwest Ontario this week. After this lovely and marvellous Monday morning sunrise, the rest of the week was cloudy, rainy, chilly, with snow and ice melting and rivers rising.

Welcome to my first post of the new year. Let me know what you think!

Earlier.

Another view of the sunrise shown on the previous post. This one taken a few minutes earlier.

Glory.

The glory of a sunrise announces the beginning of another day. I am very glad to have broken my routine to witness it, and to share it with you.

A glorious sunrise, shared with you.

Still lovely.

While just past its prime, this hibiscus bloom is still lovely.

Glow.

A recent sunset made the clouds glow. I like how the trees lean into the image, framing the scene.

Brilliant colour.

It’s good to have a last burst of brilliant colour as we enter the seasons of muted colour.

Brilliant.

The Silver Maple at the edge of the yard shed this brilliant leaf.

Autumn is here.
