It is the end of the season but …
… the roses are still beautiful and …
… still growing.

chasing the sun
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged beauty, colors, Inspiration, nature, Photography, sky, storytelling, sun, sunset on September 14, 2016| 4 Comments »
At this time of year I chase the sun even if that only means I race up the spiral staircase in my home to the highest window to see how the light changes over time in the distant sky.
And just as I thought I was done and walked back down the stairs to download images and such, I looked out the lower window and saw that the sky had turned from gold to orange.
And then, yes once more, when I thought I was done and had walked back down the stairs to download images and compose this post, I looked up. The sky was a wonderful pinkish-red. I decided to watch the sky grow dark instead of racing back up those stairs.

I had my head down lost in a book when I remembered to look up at the sky.
And as the sun set further down and I zoomed in with my camera the sky became like a dream of a landscape or a beach with water rolling onto shore.

I expect it is the summer season’s lack of rain that produced this startling contrast of colors on the same branch.

Of course I know better than to peer directly into the sun, and so at first I photographed the golden orb through the sheer curtain at a certain window. But then I threw caution to the wind. I knew I could not capture completely what I saw and what I felt but it felt good to pause and spend time with my camera pointed at the sky.

A random find in the grocery store. A few stems of carnations dyed blue. Once home, spritzed with some water and left to open in the sun.
