Photo of the Day 1/365

Sunrise through the Distant Trees

This photo, for me, shows the hope of the new year with the sun rising through the trees. To me, the trees represent the thoughts, worries, and fears of life and the clouds represent the mystery of what is to come. We can choose to see the clouds and worry if they thicken and blot out the sun - or we can just enjoy the beauty of the colors and let those worries handle themselves. Although we are never promised happiness, my goal (I don't do "resolutions") is to try to be more content and rooted in what I CAN do. Happy New Years, everyone!

Monday Closeup

This photo was taken a number of years ago in Cape May, New Jersey. I don't often get close enough to the gulls to get a closeup. Many times, the only way is if they're injured or ill. I managed this one as he was sitting on a pier and was watching another bird. He was only their briefly, but I got the shot.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
