Happy Friday! We made it through the week! After a long stretch we had a beautiful pre-show this morning at sunrise with some wonderful designs and colors. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

A closeup shot of a day lily. The wind chill for tomorrow is forecast to be -25 to -30 F°. I keep daydreaming of warmer days.

We might be in the midst of a cold winter but I can still daydream of a Cape Cod sunrise

Watercolour and Indian ink street sketch of #PembrokeCollege, Cambridge. I seem to have done a lot of paintings and drawings of this beautiful college. Many are sold. I've put a collection of them in a Flickr album here: www.flickr.com/photos/baker...

Watercolour and Indian ink drawing of Pembroke College, Cambridge. You can see it was done in situ because the people dashed in as they walk by are transparent. I always consider it a challenge when drawing this chapel to fit the weather vane in without cutting it off at the top.

Wenn die Natur malt. 😍
Schönen Abend gewünscht! 😃

Nachdem die Sonne hinter dem Horizont verschwunden ist, verwandelt sich die Landschaft in eine stille, beinahe magische Szenerie. Das Licht, das eben noch in warmen Orangetönen über die Felder gegossen wurde, weicht langsam einem samtigen Dämmerblau, das sich über den Himmel legt und die letzten Reste des Tageslichts in zarten Rosa- und Violettschleiern auffängt. Die Farben des Sonnenuntergangs spiegeln sich noch schwach im Wasser des kleinen Teichs oder Bachs am rechten Bildrand, dessen Oberfläche nun dunkler wirkt, fast geheimnisvoll, als würde sie die Nacht bereits willkommen heißen.
Der schwarze Hengst, der zuvor friedlich im Gras stand, ist nun nur noch als dunkle Silhouette zu erkennen, sein Körper verschmilzt mit dem Schatten der Bäume, die sich am Rand des Feldes wie stille Wächter aufreihen. Die herbstlichen Blätter, eben noch in leuchtendem Gelb und Braun, verlieren an Leuchtkraft und wirken gedämpft, als hätte die Dunkelheit ihnen die Stimme genommen. Der Wald im Hintergrund, dessen hohe Bäume sich gegen den Himmel abzeichneten, wird nun zu einer dunklen Wand, die das Licht nicht mehr durchlässt, ein stilles Versprechen der bevorstehenden Nacht.
Die gesamte Szene atmet Ruhe, als hätte die Natur selbst einen Moment innegehalten. Kein Windhauch bewegt das Gras, kein Laut stört die Stille. Es ist die Stunde, in der die Welt zwischen Tag und Nacht schwebt, in der alles langsamer wird, tiefer, geheimnisvoller. Die Farben verblassen, die Konturen verschwimmen, und doch bleibt die Schönheit des Augenblicks erhalten – nicht mehr in Licht und Farbe, sondern in Atmosphäre und Gefühl.

I promised Graham @oldmanrambling.bsky.social I would post a Robin a day for a week in memory of his beloved wife, Janet. As she loved Roberto who is their little garden visitor. So for the fifth day #WinterRobin #ForJanet #birds #EastCoastKin

A European robin with a bright orange-red breast perches on frost-covered leaves, softly lit by warm winter sunlight, with a blurred background of muted browns and golds. For Janet.

This black and white photograph captures a serene, yet dramatic, park landscape during sunset.

The scene is dominated by a dense array of bare-branched trees, their intricate, skeletal forms creating a complex network against the bright, low-hanging sun. The strong backlighting silhouettes the trees and casts long, stark shadows across the grassy foreground and paved pathways. The sun, a brilliant burst of light centred in the upper middle of the frame, pierces through a gap in the branches, creating a powerful focal point.

In the mid-ground, a path curves gently, leading the eye towards two small, silhouetted figures walking together. Their presence adds a sense of scale and narrative, suggesting a quiet moment shared in nature. The ground is a mix of dark grass and pavement, with some larger rocks visible in the immediate foreground, anchoring the composition.

The overall contrast is high with deep blacks in the shadows and bright whites where the sunlight hits, enhancing the texture of the bark and the starkness of the winter setting.

The composition uses leading lines from the paths and the vertical elements of the tree trunks to guide the viewer's gaze through the scene. The atmosphere is one of tranquil solitude and natural beauty, emphasising form, shadow, and light over colour.

The image feels timeless due to its lack of colour and the universal nature of the park setting and the human element. The starkness of the branches against the light-filled sky provides a beautiful, artistic, pattern that draws the eye upward. The overall effect is both peaceful and visually striking, a testament to the power of light and shadow in photography.

The depth of field is sufficient to keep both the foreground elements and the distant figures in reasonable focus, ensuring all parts of the narrative are captured.

Morning selection of flower paintings: quite a jaunty selection of garden flowers from 10 years ago with some pears in a bowl. A few nasturtiums and michaelmas daisies. Same vase as yesterday. Sold but I don't remember to whom.
