Hibiscus
Landscaper trimmed about 5 feet off of our hibiscus bush today so it’s going to be some time before we get any new flowers.
Half Moon
The dust storm from Africa seems to have cleared the other night so the moon was clear and sharp. The previous couple of nights were not as clear although there were no clouds. Anyone who thinks the best time to photograph the moon is when it’s full needs to look at images like this where the shadows on the craters give it such nice definition. I’m particularly fond of the crater on the edged of night that has such a bright wall.
Sunset with Palm and Small Bird
The small bird is there in the shadows on the right.
Strike
Really intense storm a few night ago. I’ve not see such lightning in a long time. Air to ground and air to air strikes all over the place. For all the thunder and lightning we didn’t get much rain. I was being the photographer and shooting what I could while the little voice in my head was suggesting that standing out on the driveway was not necessarily the smartest thing I’ve ever done. This was the night before the really amazing sunset that I’ve already mentioned. The African dust storm is due any day now. There may be some very intense sunrises and sunsets coming.
Sunset Face
Last night we have a once every few years sunset. The clouds were right over us with clearing skies to the west. I see the face of an old man in this image. You may or may not see it but it’s there. One of those evenings were you don’t have to push the saturation may be even start to think about pulling it back. Took a bunch of shots of the end of the day. Expect a bunch of posts.
Palms, Poles, and Fence
Got myself on a black and white kick lately. Trying to get a feeling for the space out back. And of course the Florida sky.
