I took this image of plants growing near the beach along the Pacific Ocean. Despite the loose sand and strong winds, these plants manage to thrive and even flower!
Today is September 1st. Last year in September, I took this photo while strolling along a beach in southwestern Washington State, USA. A beautiful memory!!
Wild nandu birds are native to this part of southern Chile. This one wandered into a farm field near Torres del Paine National Park. When these birds get upset, the feathers on their necks stick out. This one was agitated because horses entered the pasture and got too close. The nandu chased the horses away.
I took this picture in the Olympic Mountains in Washington State, USA. It’s hard to believe, but living branches still reached for the sky at the very top of this huge tree trunk. I just love the colors and textures of the wood!
This beauty posed for me near the bank of a stream. Her feathers glowed in the evening sun. The sun’s angle also drew out shadows and gentle waves. All and all, it was a wonderful day 🙂
A few years ago, we had forest fires creep close to our home. I was reading about fires in other places just recently and dug out this photo. The sun looked like an autumn moon.
This cute frog posed for me just long enough to take his/her picture. He’s standing on a flax leaf in my front yard.
I took this picture while heading home from a walk near the Pacific Coast in southwestern Washington State, USA. The yellows and oranges were dazzling!
I took this picture of our Moon as it floated in a blue sky. The Moon loomed large, perhaps because of the hazy rings encircling it. The glowing orb dominated the clear heavens. I almost felt I was standing on another planet and gazing upward.
When I saw these luscious pink and blue colors, I just had to snap a picture. 🙂
