This is my contribution to Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere #43 Photo Challenge.
The golden sunrise and blue sky reflected in the ripples on Colpoy’s Bay on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada.
Actually, lots of stars, a shooting star and a planet. This is my contribution to the One Word Sunday prompt Star.
What looks like the brightest star is really the planet Venus over Colpoy’s Bay a couple of hours before sunrise. There’s also some weak northern lights just above the horizon and a shooting star. Photographed a couple of weeks ago when I was looking for the Neowise comet.
This is my day 27 contribution to Becky’s July Squares on the theme of Perspective and another of my wide angle perspective series.
Looking up at a giant red butterfly garden ornament with a wide angle lens. I like the contrast between the red butterfly and blue sky.
This is my day 23 contribution to Becky’s July Squares on the theme of Perspective and the second in my wide angle perspective series.
Bare trees against a blue sky on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada. Although it was the wispy clouds as much as the blue sky that attracted me to the scene.
This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: The World in Lockdown.
The first thing that came to mind was a small selection of photos from my various walks around the neighborhood during the lockdown in Ontario.
Late March and the sky is already noticeably bluer with so little air traffic.
Some colourful moss and lichen growing on a limestone boulder.
Ivy growing up a tree trunk.
A sign of spring, new leaves starting to unfurl two days ago.
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts: Awareness challenge.
I thought of a few types of awareness, animals are generally much more aware of their surroundings and potential threats than most humans.
This Red-breasted Nuthatch is checking the sky, aware of the possibility of predators overhead.
On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic that has forced many people to stay at home has probably made some people more aware of their surroundings. I quickly became aware of how much bluer the sky in this part of Ontario was with so few aircraft flying.
I’m aware of how bright the neighborhood Paper Birch trees look against the deep blue sky.
