Thinking of Solly Mack

[CC]

and the whole photogroup.
Sometimes mother nature decides to kick your ass and sometimes she decides to remind you of the beauty of this world. We've had a lot of rain this summer, while others have had none. Some have been wild storms that wiped out trees and electric, but a few ended up beautiful. One evening last week the storm and sunset fired everything up to the deepest golden color I have ever seen in this small corner of the world. These are a few of my attempts to capture it. Though the photos just do not do justice to the richness and glow everything had they at least caught a bit of the magic I think.


















Adding in some soaking rain wet daisies for Solly...

5. Filling the mind with the beauty of earth

makes up for a long day of living with it's inhabitants.

Oh, cynical me. I should just be quiet sometimes.

These are absolutely wonderful. I can smell all these places in my mind.

6. Beautiful photos. The yellow/golden sky was here in

SW Ohio one evening last week.
I thought it was a little eerie, but not enough to freak me out.
Maybe, if I'd had that beautiful scene in photo #1....

15. You have been on my mind

also but Sabine has not cooperated for a photo just for you yet. We are working on it though.

16. Sweet.

I would love to see how she looks now.

I'm off in 2 days to be with my Mom. Probably for the last time her condition is beyond grave and she is 90. Return is in a month. Maybe.
I'm told I will have internet. My brother has an attic area that has a bed, accessible by a ladder. But he says I can be up there and have internet. I believe it when it works.
Thanks for thinking of me!

17. I'm glad you get to go see

your mom though not the reason why. You both have my love and wishes for a smooth journey. Right now Sabine looks a mess as she decided it was time to for her coat to blow. She shed a whole new dog daily. Give your mom a hug from her MD fan.

9. Those are glorious

The golden hour. No amount of HDR can replicate the real thing.

10. These are lovely.

The color is a bit otherworldly which gives them a special quality. I like them a lot.

19. CC, you've captured

such a washed, fresh feeling that nature can produce. Really stunning shots. Thank you!
