Light from a quarter way up the sky

This time of year, the sun hangs low in the sky*, creating deep shadows, highlighting patterns and shapes we would have missed otherwise.


Alleyway, Beach Grove, Tsawwassen

Maple leaves, with bug holes. Richmond

Big-leafed exotic. Crescent Beach.


Yes, this is the sun, through dark clouds, with hints of sunset pink. About 4 PM., from Kwomais Point rocks.

If I look at that sun for a half-minute or so, I can see (or so it seems) the clouds moving. Try it yourself; do you see it, too? (You may need to view it full-size; left-click it for a new tab.)

*About 23 degrees above the horizon, at 3 PM these days.

  2. I absolutely can see those clouds moving!

    I enlarged the picture of the bug holes in the maple. The close-up of that shot is exquisite.

    As are the rest of your shots, but the way. I love that yellow snail too! I've never seen one that color before.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
