A gorgeous amaryllis from Andy at Ebb Then Flood. To take a look at more of his photography, please click the link above.
During a recent flight there were some amazing cloud formations illuminated by the moon.

These clouds were avoided and we had a smooth, uneventful flight.
Happy Tuesday.
We had quite a windy rain storm pass through …

… which had many birds huddling on the beach …

… but the sun showed up …

… and for a bit it felt like it could be spring.

Unfortunately, that won’t be happening for a while, but it was nice to enjoy the little reversion.
Happy Monday.

‘Golden Glimmers’ …little nuggets poppin’ from the purple…
Golden Glimmers
Here in North America we might be heading into winter, but in Andy’s part of the world, the reverse is true. I hope you take a few minutes to visit his interesting site at Ebb Then Flood by clicking the link above.

Night descends so quickly now and soon the clocks will flip back to standard, bringing even earlier evenings and a different sort of seasonal beauty.
Happy Sunday.

Happy Wednesday.
