Let’s put up some more … this is kinda fun!

A few more, anyway … I think I'm not too far out of line by going from the full moon of the last post to a waning moon …

And then we can back up to a really nice sunset out at my rifle range …

Looking away, again … I find that to be a useful trick, to take a shot in the OPPOSITE direction that everyone is looking. But, here's what happened in the usual direction, a few minutes later:

These tall trees, almost totally bare of leaves, made a perfect foil for a bunch of clouds rolling in from the West …

Now, back to the future again (Yes, this is really time travel, you know! Captured moments), and in this case, a captured display of celestial bravura …

And one of those things that make one glad to wake up early …

And guess who's been hanging around all this time, watching?

Broad morning, this time, and a braw one, too, as the Scots say …

And, to greet the dawn …

The faith shown by a flower puts the rest of us to shame … secure in the faith that the sun will rise, it opens at the first touch of light.
And the lake, too, awaits the rising sun …

Muted, quiet colours, just before dawn …

And here are some of the early morning visitors, hoping for a bit of breakfast before the inevitable people arrive, making their inevitable noise …

Naturally, I found this next visitor fascinating … I took several exposures:





I think he was a juvenile Great Blue, but I'm not sure … I've never found pictures of juvenile ones, so the colours may indicate that he was something else …

At any rate, enjoy these … I certainly enjoyed taking them.
