Showcasing the beauty of Mother Nature
Looking back through my photos, I think some of the most stunning landscape photos I have were taken in Namibia. The amazing contrasts of such clear blue skies and the red sand, to me it was just breathtaking.
With the sun just about halfway below the tree line, I thought this fit the bill for this week’s WPC topic, Half-light.
Last Sunday brought clear skies and a showing of the aurora; unfortunately I knew I would be really busy Monday morning, and decided to just hang around the yard and snap a few photos. I did see a few glimpses, but I’m sure if I would have headed for an area with fewer tall trees, the view would have been outstanding.
I spent a bit of time outside today watching, and photographing, the redpolls. I don’t think they will be here for much longer, but I know their absence will be filled with other birds heading back after wintering further south.
Signs of spring are all over the place; tree branches in bud, and more visible ground than snow, though yesterday we had quite the afternoon storm with driving wind, hail and a bit of snow. My attempts to photograph the near sideways hail left me flat.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week; here are the photos.
I came across the hashtag #FeelGoodFriday on a photo this morning, and not only was it a beautiful image that made me smile, but it inspired me to pick a photo pf my own as a feel good Friday photo.
This is one I have wanted to edit for a while, and doing so has made me happy. The light in the desert of Namibia is so magical, I hope I captured a bit of that.
Enjoy, and TGIF!
A warm sunny day, brilliant blue skies, lush green grasses and trees. And an elephant. Of course there’s an elephant. 🙂
My take on nature working in perfect, beautiful harmony. And a reminder of a wonderfully happy day.
Have a great day!
I’m a bit behind with selecting and editing for photo challenges, but I thought immediately of the time I spent at Robben Island when I saw the topic Wall.
I took my camera with me everywhere this past week, but just didn’t have any inspiration to use it. It happens sometimes! Last night though was brilliantly clear, so I headed outside for a couple shots of the stars. I was too tired to head anywhere more exciting then my front yard though.
Here are a couple shots from last night.
Have a great week everyone!
