#BlueSkyArtShow #Sunlight

The slant of sunlight on the bones of the hydrangeas in my #winter #garden.

#photography #EastCoastKin #shadow #chiaroscuro
Winter hydrangeas, dry and red-brown on their stalks, against the back fence in my garden. There is a triangle of slanted sunlight at the top of the fence, and a blue criss-crossed shadow behind the hydrangeas, from the adjacent fence's lattice.

on a cold, sunny day, the sunlight
on this white alstroemeria flower unexpectedly
turned the stamens transparent.

luminous, really.

photograph.
macrophotograph. the sunlight came flooding in this morning. all the white alstroemeria flowers with dark red 'spots' in the vase were transformed. the pink stamens were lit up by the sun. kind of otherworldly, really.

a photo with mountains in the foreground. There is one tree in the right front. It is sundown with clouds and a flock of birds. The birds are tiny.

Sunshine from last Spring..

The sun is setting behind the apple tree. I love my Canon camera, but I don't think I will ever truly be able to fully capture, the Beauty of a moment like this.

Respect to the solitary seagull this morning! My balcony view of eastern Marseille. The sun is rising; however, this is being hidden by the thick cloud cover. Grey is the colour of the day!

Bis über die Hälfte des Fotos wird von wilden Gräsern und Pflanzen gebildet, sie ragen in einen hellen zart bewölkten Himmel.
