Photographer Kathrin Swoboda captured amazing images of a red wing blackbird's song, visible via the bird's breath in cold air and early light #WomensArt

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Colorful swamp - trees and reflection.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A stand of tall cypress trunks rises from calm, colorful water. The trees' flared bases are mirrored in dense, rippling reflections. Autumn colors from the forest beyond fragment across the surface, creating a patterned tapestry. The various trees provide vertical lines in the reflection and the ripples interact horizontally.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:
A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

The best part of doing the Autumn Lights Festival Art Market last weekend was the kids' reactions to my UV macro floral photos.

Shout out to the little boy who asked, "Are these all different diseases?" I will always enjoy that.

Coming home from shopping, I saw beautiful clouds and thought "how lovely sunset will be." Then I missed the sunset while putting away groceries, and now those same clouds, gray painted black, have swallowed moonrise.

crickets -- do you care
that you can't see
the moon?
