Indeed.

Beautiful! By the way, “Flaming Honey” would be a good band name.

Dusty and dry. Water should be in this ditch, but a drought has brought a fall with little color so far except brown. A view looking East as the sun has already gone down tonight on the Slippery Elm Trail, Wood County, OH. #nature #sunset #drought #trees #rural #woodcounty #ohio

A brown tree with brown some leaves still clinging to thin branches stands aside a dry ditch between 2 fields of brown corn. The sky is a dusty blue that fades to light brown and gray near the horizon just after sunset tonight.

Departing fall fog. The sun burns off a thick layer of fog over Marl Lake in Roscommon County, MI. #nature #fall #marllake #roscommon #michigan

The sun is high in the sky shining through the edge of a thick fog bank and bright red maple leaves in a tree on the edge of a calm lake. A dark tree trunk and green weeds on below frame the view.

By dawn’s early light. The “Mighty Mac” at sunrise yesterday. Virtually no wind and calm waters. #mackinawbridge #sunrise #michigan #greatlakes

The green ironwork of this suspension bridge and its approach stand over nearly calm water where two Great Lakes meet. Beyond the light brown towers, the land on the far side of the straight is a hazy dark green with a sky of pale orange and lumpy pale blue clouds. The foreground is a gravel beach of small brown pebbles in this sunrise photo.

Such a dynamic photo! Well done!

Thanks! It felt as if the color was past peak, but it was still captivating.

Cloudy and calm. Agawa Canyon Park, ON, Canada.

A a mountainside covered in green pine trees, yellow, orange, and light green deciduous trees meets a calm river. Puffy gray clouds overhead and the colors along the banks are reflected in the water’s surface.

On the road at sunrise. The scene from I-75 in Northwestern Ohio at dawn. #sunrise #nature #ohio

Brown weeds and a dead tree are in the foreground. Behind is a freshly harvested field with thin layer of fog. A wooded area looks black against a powder blue sky that fades to yellow, then orange near the horizon. Streaks of high clouds colored orange and pink paint the sky in this sunrise photo.

My first time there. Beautiful place. Thank you!

ofduskanddawn.bsky.social @ofduskanddawn.bsky.social · 4d

There were plenty of fish out there. Thanks!

Thanks! It was a glorious morning.

Pensive crane. A Sandhill Crane looks out at a pond that glows with the blazing sun this morning at the Kensington, Metropark, Milford, MI.

A Sandhill Crane, with dark brown feathers that get lighter towards its neck, where a red patch marks its head stands on green grass dotted with brown leaves. Light green grass and branches, laden with leaves still green, frame the scene, with only a small window to the pond beyond that has thin green reeds poking from its surface.

Gone to seed. Dried and split milkweed pods are backlit by the rising sun along the Slippery Elm Trail in Wood County, OH. #sunrise #nature #sun #fall #ohio

Along a field still showing a hint of green with trees lined up at the edge of the property beyond, brown milkweed plants with pods open, reveal hairlike seeds made yellow-orange by the sunrise.

Autumn sky. The sun meets the horizon hidden by clouds brushed in powerful and light strokes. #sunset #nature #clouds #sky #rural #ohio

A blue sky is marked by white clouds that yellow from the setting sun. Close to the horizon a grayish purple marks thicker coverage, except where the sun comes through burning orange where it meets the tree line on the far side of a green field in this sunset photo.

Sunset above low water. The ongoing drought has exposed many rocks sitting on the riverbed. Some have not seen direct light for decades. Rain is likely, but not nearly enough to restore the flow to a normal level. #sunset #maumeeriver #nature #water #rocks #ohio

A fading blue sky holds gray clouds bathed in orange light from the sun beyond the horizon. Below, the shallow water of river reflects the colors between gray rocks as shadows deepen in this sunset photo.

I love that river! Any friend of the water is a friend of mine. Thanks!
