Monday morning coffee came with gracefully free wind and clouds dancing. Mondays don't always suck. #photography #blueskyphotography #skyphotos #skyphotography #wind #clouds

The pursuit of "power" has brought us to a tipping point. It will be our ruin or the crucible of our survival in a kinder world. Meanwhile, this is actual power. #photography #blueskyphotography #skyphotos #lightning #lightningbolts #thepowerofnature #metaphor

No kings here either. Just old growth equality. (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.) #photography #trees #gianttrees #oldgrowthforest #ancientwisdom #canada

You are getting creepy. Very creepy. (surrealist photos are Halloween friendly) #photography #surrealism #monochrome

From fried yellow at the horizon to gentle blues higher up, we can only marvel at Mother Nature's artistry. #photography #clouds #sky #sunsets

October has been unusually warm and vivid during sunsets. This is from two evenings ago. #photography #blueskyphotography #sunset #sunsets #sky #clouds

Yep, and not many could chew scenery and make you love it, like Oliver! Check out Paranoiac, if you haven't seen it.

A fantastic spell casting image. Beautiful.

We had a lovely sunset sky again last night. Thank you, October. I'll post several images tomorrow to share how the display changed dynamics. #photography #sky #skyphotos #sunsets #clouds #sunsetclouds #vivid

Isn't she the one whose middle name was Annette?

Thank you, Bluesky, for allowing me to have a platform where I can post more than sufficient amounts of bird photos! (Canada Geese doing a sunset flock workout.) #photography #birds #birdsinflight #geese #canadagoose #sunsetsky

This time of year, Canada Geese do flock flyby photo opps that align with sundown. #photography #blueskyphotography #geese #canadagoose #canada #birdflocks #birdsinflight #sunsets

Last night's sunset brought some eye pleasing hybrid hue action, and a weird cloud pattern within a larger cloud. I was digging it :-) #photography #blueskyphotography #sunsets #sunsetskies #sunsetclouds #clouds

I have to reach my sunset photo quota, so here's a multi-hue frame fulla textured swagger and yes I know fulla ain't a real word and ain't ain't isn't. #photography #blueskyphotography #skyphotos #sky #vivid #sunset #sunsets #clouds

Four more frames of the ramshackle but defiantly still standing structure in the woods. #photography #oldbuildings #oldwood #fallingaprt #inthewoods #forests #forestwalks #weatherbeaten

We found a dilapidated but still in use maple syrup operation in the forest. The inexorable reclamation by Nature is well under way. #photography #oldbuildings #oldwood #weatherbeaten #inthewoods #forestwalks

We found a new forest with a small lake, near our home location, and enjoyed a stroll through its variety. #photography #inthewoods #forests #inthetrees #trees #butterflies #snakes #getoutdoors #ontaio #canada

We checked out a new hiking trail on the weekend. It surrounds a small lake near the Ontario town of Elmira. Water levels are controlled by a dam, and one section of shoreline features very old, fossilized tree trunks. Like imagination monsters. #photography #oldtrees #driftwood #imagination #wood

Thanksgiving Day weekend in Canada, so we enjoyed a nice forest hike yesterday. 1) Hella fungi, all alone. 2) My wife's hands, for scale. 3) It felt cool, firm, and aloof to my touch. 4) Of course, we left it where we found it. Quite a specimen. #photography #fungi #forestwalks #nature #fungiphotos
