sunset walk on the summer solstice

[fizzgig]

we went for a walk in one of my favorite little natural areas last night. we startled some deer and a great blue heron, so no pics of them. the light wasn't great for getting the little bunny rabbits.

the pics make the sunset look a bit more dramatic than it was, but it was still a pretty nice sunset.







the thistles are up





and things are green again

1. Pretty darn nice!

I missed it, in the suburbs.

2. i got really lax about taking my weekend walks

it rained for so long that i got out of the habit. now if i could just get one of those coloado sunsets. those just seem to happen when i'm at work and can only watch through the buildings across the street.

4. The two thistle shots are gorgeous!

I saw one of the biggest herons I've ever seen fly overhead last night.

10. i usually see a heron at this spot

maybe some day i'll get a photo

i've been working on macro with the camera and i'm glad the thistle shots came out. husband pointed out to me that there's a spider in the second one. didn't even notice it.

5. Beautiful!

I was up for our sunset at 11:45 p.m. or so, but it was overcast here, so no pretty pictures. We lose about 9 seconds today, all downhill from here.

11. yeah, we're hurtling toward the dark again

it's not quite so bad for me as for you, but i still hate it.

are we just lovely little rays of sunshine

15. It's not so bad now,

but in a month or two, we'll start losing five or six minutes a day. That gets real noticeable, real fast.

6. Lovely sunset!

I'm partial to the last photo. Love the layers of light and shadow.

12. i think that's one of the best shots i've gotten of that peak yet

it was hot yesterday, so it was a bit hazy. i'm glad it didn't dull it too much.

7. The first one is my favorite.

I really like the reflection of the sun on the water. But all of them are so nice. Looks like you had a great walk.

[fizzgig]

13. it was a nice little walk

i'm so lucky to have a place like that five minutes from home.
