Purple coneflower in the sunshine

 In the warmth of the sun, yesterday, I noticed that the purple cone-flowers were popping out all over.  I decided to try out a wide-aperture lens to see if I could isolate one or two flowers among the plethora of flowers. I think it came out well and it goes nicely with the quote of  the day, too!

Quote of the day: "You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming." - Pablo Neruda

Bare Trees After Sunset Photo of the Day 326/365 I took this photo on the way home from work last evening. I was in a hurry to get home, so I only managed 3 photos in the short time I had.  Also, due to the light, the phone washed out the colors, so I had to boost the saturation a little bit to get the photo to what I saw when I took it. I really like the subtle colors in the sky, from pink to blue.

Cliffs in Acadia (wish I was there again) Photo of the Day 165/365 This image, which I took last week, was taken at Raven's Nest on Schoodic Peninsula within Acadia National Park - in Maine. This area of the country is, indeed, my happy place. I have been there more than 20 times and I can ALWAYS find something wonderful and breathtaking to photograph. My younger self might have moved there, but life doesn't alway give you what you want, so I must be happy with visits and memories.

 Streamers in the Dawn Sky Photo of the Day 241/365 I found this scene on the way to work yesterday morning. As the days move on in the year, the sun rises earlier and earlier. The sun was actually higher in the sky than I'd like for a sunrise photo, but I zoomed out to the widest setting I had so that the sun would appear lower in the sky, and the streaming clouds would reach up into the blue. I really like how this image came out!
