A long hair calico cat is lying in the sun next to the window. The sunlight is shining through her hair, creating a glow. She looks a little pensive, but comfortable.

A spider web shimmers in the morning light, each delicate strand adorned with tiny raindrops that glow like golden beads. The intricate pattern evokes a sense of quiet splendor, with the droplets forming luminous chains along the web’s curves and angles. Bathed in warm, shadowy light, the scene feels both enchanted and unsettling, as if the web is waiting for something in the hush. The sparkling focus and rich, layered brilliance lend a touch of spooky elegance, transforming simple grass and silk into a moment of atmospheric mystery. It’s like a natural chandelier, where every bead of dew catches the light and casts a mesmerizing glow

For a few precious moments, Alpenglow turns the Dolomites into a wall of fire.

A majestic Dolomite mountain massif near Alta Badia glows in the light of sunset. The rugged cliffs are bathed in a deep orange radiance, while the lower slopes remain cool and shadowed under a layer of snow and dark forest. The sky above fades from soft blue to dusk, enhancing the mountain’s luminous glow - a breathtaking alpine moment suspended between day and night.

A perfectly imperfect pink Dahlia is facing the sun. ☀️

#Photography #MobilePhotography #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOForOpulence #ColorADay #GreenSat #BlueSkyArtShow #Glow #PhotoHour #Scape #BloomScrolling #SensoryArt #Shadow #PrettyInPink #Dahlia #Flowers #FlowerReport 🌸

Sunlight is shining on a pink garden Dahlia that is just about to wilt, what gives her fragile beauty an extra special touch. I like things that are perfectly imperfect. Her petals are making twists and circles what’s casting nice shadows, giving the flower extra depth.
There are green leaves surrounding her what makes her beautiful color pop.

The Dahlia is the national flower of Mexico. It has a proud history reaching back to the days of the Aztec empire. Aztecs grew her originally as a food crop for their starchy root tubers. Later the dahlia was transported back to Europe by Spanish colonists in the 18th century.

There's a Dahlia for Everyone. Big, small, frilly, spiky, neon pink, deep burgundy, orange, etc… these flowers come in so many shapes and colors that even the pickiest plant person will find the one for themselves.

A serene image on a clear winter evening, looking down the loch. In the foreground lies still water; dark forested hills on either side in the centre, with snow capped mountains behind. In the distance the sky glows orange.

7:31 am, 12/17/24: It's not an afterglow...it's a PRE-glow! The glow of the coming sunrise paints the blue hour sky over the mountains to appear aflame and burning the frame from the lower left horizon upwards, with purple tendrils of 'smoke' drifting from the 'licks of the flames' above the silhouetted trees. My fav blue hour frame of 2024.

The ship sails on through evening’s glow,
Where day meets night in calm below.

Golden rays of sunlight stream dramatically through a break in dark clouds over a calm sea at sunset. A distant silhouette of a ship glides along the horizon near a shadowed coastline, while dark rocks in the foreground catch glimmers of gold reflected on the rippling water.

Some sunsets are so beautiful that you have to stop and snap a picture!

Nature is painting the sky and the clouds in the most opulent colors of orange, pink, yellow and grapefruit for sunset. In between there are the last remaining shades of the blue evening sky. On the horizon there are the silhouettes of an electric pole on the right side, then some trees in the middle and some windmills on the left side followed by another electric pole. In the foreground there’s a rural road making a turn to the left that’s flanked by green fields in the dark. The color of the vibrant sky paints hues of soft pink on the road.

The focus is on a single, fully opened flower, illuminated from the side by the sun. The flower is in vibrant yellow and orange tones, glowing intensely due to the light. The fine, densely arranged petals cast shadows on each other. The background is deep black, which further accentuates the bright colors of the flower.

You can see a single crocus flower illuminated by the sun. The seed stalks appear through the delicate leaves. The background is black.

Sun lit Feathery Grass Plums

Ornamental grass is one of my favorite fall foliage plants to photograph. When the plums are backlit you see a nice #glow & #bokeh effect.

A close-up photograph of the feathery plumes of tall grass, backlit by the sun. The fine hairs on the plumes are glowing white against a dark, out-of-focus background of deep greens and shadows, which is punctuated by soft, circular bokeh lights

NC’s largest caterpillar, the Hickory Horned Devil (Citheronia regalis, 15cm long)! Finding one at this maturity is rare due to birds, parasites, and disease. It will burrow under ground and emerge as a Regal Moth next year! #CitheroniaRegalis #bugsky

A pale green Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar on top of leaf debris. It is approximately 6 inches long! Each end is golden in color. One end has horn like structures.

A red-tailed hawk was right over the road in a tree at the Ridgefield NWR driving tour. And of course, I had my longest lens on the camera. Photo from February of this year.
