This is one of this week's brilliant #autumn sunsets through the changing leaves. Have a great weekend!

A bright orange autumn sunset reflects off the lake and filters through the trees of the forest, backlighting the undergrowth and stone wall.

A person is shown crouching on a wide, sandy beach facing out to sea but staring into the phone in their hand. The figure, dressed in what appears to be a grey or dark suit jacket and trousers with black shoes, is positioned low to the ground near the water's edge, their back slightly turned towards the viewer. Their head is bowed, and they are looking down at photos on their mobile.
The beach itself is a vast expanse of light brown, wet sand, marked with subtle undulations and moisture from the receding waves. The colour of the sand transitions from a darker, saturated brown near the water to a lighter, drier yellowy tone further up the shore.
The ocean occupies the upper half of the frame, its surface a series of parallel, gentle waves. The foamy white crests of these waves create a natural, flowing pattern across the water, their lines running from the left to the right side of the image. The water is a soft, muted tone, reflecting the overcast sky and appearing in shades of light brown, gray, and off-white.
The overall composition is serene and somewhat contemplative, with the solitary figure as the focal point. The image has a soft, muted colour palette, dominated by earthy tones of brown and grey, with the bright white foam of the waves providing contrast. The perspective is from above, looking down at the person and the beach, which emphasises the vastness of the natural environment and the smallness of the human figure within it. The lighting is soft and diffused, indicative of an overcast day. The scene evokes a sense of quiet solitude and introspection.

here's a stormy day scene from January this year of a #tree at #LemaRanch for #ThickTrunkTuesday

a large tree, almost bare of leaves, stands alone in a field at Lema Ranch in Redding, CA.
a red & yellow rainbow glows brightly on the left between the lower branches & the tree-lined horizon.

"I Will Read You Like An Open Book"
I wonder if that's why she was looking at me!
#HumansofBluesky #UrbanGaze #EastCoastKin #NewOrleans #photography #PhotographersofBluesky #Psychic
#31DaysofHalloween

A woman with sunglasses is sitting with her body partially turned away from the camera, but her head is turned toward the camera. She has a small table and some chairs around her. A sign to the right reads:
PSYCHIC
OF THE STARS
I WILL
READ YOU
LIKE AN
OPEN BOOK
Don't Tell Me
I Will Tell You
Behind her is a young boy and other people sitting. Behind them is an ice cream vendor cart with an open umbrella. They are in front of the black wrought iron fence that surrounds the park in Jackson Square, New Orleans.

Good morning, Susan and Bluesky! A chilly morning here, too. The National Book Award finalist list was announced yesterday. I'm excited to add more books to my list.
