Along with the afternoon rains this month, we’ve also had a good bit of lightning. I like photographing the storm clouds above the mountain horizon. This capture was done through a double glazed window since it was raining too hard for me to take the camera outside. I focused out and beyond the rain spotted glass to capture the horizon just in time for the lightning.
Summer’s finally here and so are ducklings. My first sighting of the tiny yellow and brown swimmers was on an early morning walk around the lakes at Lower Lake Ranch.
Clouds overhead reflect white in the dark water while low morning sunlight traveled up the valley to light this straggler.
The reflections changed as I moved around the lake. Light changed, too, cloudy one moment, a bit of bright sun the next.
I woke up early this morning dreaming of photographing flowers. It was a good day for working the flowers alongside the bees and hummingbirds. The columbines around my home are taller and have many flowers thanks to all the rain we have had this year.
I looked up the hill to see a fox staring at my cat in his cat run. After the first capture the she looked away as if to hide her interest in him. But, the tongue licking the lips told the truth. I’m glad my cat is always safe inside our house or the cat run.
Goose with goslings, one of the images I’m printing for bookmarks this year.
At my house we love the aspen color in the spring. When the leaves unfold they are shiny and bright. As they grow into summer the color dulls, of course, so I have been trying to capture some of the spring color now.
