Two Cattails

Here is an ordinary cattail.



Here is a creative cattail.



I don't help them. I just photograph them.
No, I don't know why it did that.

As if the summer's heat and humidity were not enough....

Fungus Among Us

Yesterday, while we were out identifying and photographing wild flowers, my partner, who has recently chosen the blog name Églantine, also photographed fungi. I am very pleased to post these wonderful photos. I wish I had taken them.

Sunrise - Sunset

Sunrise if my favourite time of day!



Having been an early riser all my life, I am up before the sun more days than not. During these early days of August, I am often up one to one and a half hours before the sun. It gives me time to think about different places to photograph the sunrise.



It's not unusual for sunsets to be as spectacular as the sunrises.



Moonset has been good this week too. Here is one more photo of the moon and Venus from earlier this week. (I've seen several similar shot from various places listed on spaceweather.com for today, Aug. 9.)

Spider Webs
