Another pop-up card—this time in turquoise and lime green. Note the embossed, distressed wood texture, subtle coliur gradients in the leaves, and tiny gems.

The patterned background is leftover wrapping paper.

- The Dark Skies Collection -

Dark and contrasted photo of the sunset sky with clouds in it. In the bottom of the photo are the silhouettes of an urban scene. One pylon, power lines and houses. The sky is dark, but colourful with some red, a little magenta, teal and orange in it.

Photograph of the cloudy, blue sky, with the ocean in the bottom of the photo.

Photograph of a dark city skyline, with the dark blue, clouded sky above it. The photo was taken through a window, and has a soft blurry sheen to it.

Photograph of a mountain range, with the dark, and dramatic sky with clouds above it. The mountain range itself is entirely black, and only between the sky, and around the mountain silhouette, is the light peeking through. Separating the mountains from the sky.

Certainly one of the most spectacular things in the sky, the Andromeda Galaxy as seen from my driveway.

A spiral galaxy seen from an angle. There’s a bright bulbous center and dust lanes, stars and nebulas surrounding it. Two bright dwarf galaxies can be seen as well.

An Osprey parent bringing back breakfast, an orange koi. There's an adult on the nest (on the right with yellow eyes), along with four nestlings (three easily seen, another one tucked in in the back.) I'm pretty sure someone's fancy fish pond has been a popular fishing spot for these Osprey.

A male Eastern Bluebird on the lookout for insects to hunt down. While reviewing my photos I realized there is a young Eastern Bluebird in the upper left, keeping a close eye on Dad.

Young Great Blue Herons have been testing their wings and leaving their nests, and these two landed on nearby tree. They were working hard to keep their balance, while also seeming to try to knock the other bird off the tree top with their wings.

View over a stonewall into a field where a farmer is mowing. The picture is framed by elderflower and dog rose, and swallows swoop around.
