after the rains

I took these photos a few days ago, indeed, after a spring rain. Today, these buds are bold blossoms, their petals glistening quite beautifully in melting spring snow. I didn’t quite have the heart to photograph the snow. 😉

These scenes are from Boston’s Back Bay along historic Commonwealth Avenue. I must say, I am quite thankful spring has finally arrived. 😉

The recipe for this photo shoot: a few sprigs of baby’s breath, a small red bowl, a gold saucer, one stone, and a square of blue cloth.
sunset, like a wildfire

Yesterday, as the sun was setting, I decided to focus on the earth instead of the sky.
Between the angle of the light and the new color upon the budding bush outside my window, the branches did seem to have fiery glow.
That glow became a little less fiery after I stopped photographing the curtain as well.
But whether bark or cloth, it was all a beautiful sight in the fading sunlight.
oak and rain

As I waited for the coffee to brew, I decided to snap a few photos of the morning rain beading on the oak tree towering beside the house.
For the most part, I focused through one or two panes of glass though at one point I did open a window and stick my head out.
Despite the morning chill, it was neat to see the buds on the branches and the subtle colors emerging, suggesting spring blossoms and leaves will soon to be.
