magnolia, and sunset

.

These pics were taken in early May and I'm only getting around to sharing them now.

Sunset, on May 2, 2020. 

I took the previous pic, then walked through the house and looked out to the east.  Look how the sunset light is in the tops of the trees across the street.  I don't think I'd ever seen the trees looking like this before.

Interesting clouds on a beautiful blue-sky day.

I can't edit video.  The sky was really much pinker than it appears here.

Sunrise, just after the solstice.  Dec. 30, 2018.

Shifting the (phone) camera just a bit to the left of the above.  This is looking basically straight east.

How long has it been since you've seen one of these? 

Shortly after sunset.

Excellent clouds on Dec. 18, 2018.  We thought this one was like looking up at the bottom of a mushroom.  Or a jellyfish.

Broader view, same clouds on right.

Moss on top of a wall.

Little round clump of moss on a wall.  This is the original shot, so you can get an idea of the scale.

Cropped.

Cropped again.  I think these are fruiting bodies, or whatever you call it for moss (different from other sorts of plants?  Do mosses have true flowers?  I can't remember but I kind of think not....).

More moss, different wall.

More clouds, with jet trails.

The neighborhood rock-painter was still at work, in mid-December.

Fairy Lane assemblage.

Dwarf knight, with bunnies.  And a giraffe and a gnome.

Maple leaf.

Hoping to help Georgia get a better secretary of state, and a new Commissioner, too.

Sunset in Tree Town.

Walking as the sun went down.  Check out those lines of gray clouds just above the horizon.

Moonrise.  This is the most serious disadvantage to phone photos, in my view -- no zoom lens.

November 14, 2018, part 2

.

We decided to go to Star's Cafe for supper.

Moonrise in the November 14 sunset.

One of the lovely things about digital photography is that the incremental cost of taking one more photo is about nil.

We can go ahead and shoot, without thinking about how each shot costs 75 cents (or whatever).

And sometimes the shots from a moving car, say, are ones we are glad to have.............

Turning west on Huron.

Same shot as above, with all human lights edited out.

Sometimes a pic is full of mess, but one keeps it anyway...........

So glad we went out, the evening of the 14th.  From home, surrounded by trees, we might have noticed the sky was pink, but we would have missed at least 95% of what there was to see........
