Template

This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #67. A template for a wall of a tree house. I like the light and the shadows on both sides…

On the solstice, I am out watching the sunrise. I try to imitate various bird calls that I hear. I do well with chickadees, a junco, and a hummingbird comes to inspect me. This small sparrow has a lovely song and I try to imitate it, not doing it very well. We traded songs for a good 20 minutes… a very patient bird….

Twilight

For the weekly photo challenge: opposites. I took this photograph in 2014, from a train, going east to west.

Solstice light

This is for Photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #65. I was out watching the solstice sunrise and these are some of my neighbor’s trees. Everything changes color and takes turns receiving the early angled sunlight. This is a study of light and color and sky.

Rain drops

I took this photograph Friday with my cell phone for Photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #64. The pattern of the drops spreading is beautiful. Just a small thing. And the funny bit is that he posted his picture a few days later…. synchronicity?
