Friday Photos–Sunshine, Tree Limbs, and the Creek

I like this view of the sun shining on the creek. Most of the time, I am not in the right position at the right time to get a picture like this. The picture has a bit of a “misty” quality to it; pictures taken close to the creek sometimes do.

This picture shows the old bridge (almost half-way down from the top of the photo) in the creek. That is all that’s left of the bridge, which is probably about 100 years old. I took this photo at least twenty years ago; now the bridge is barely visible. Dead trees, swept down by periods of high water, hide most of the structure from view.

Another view of the old bridge, this one showing a couple large limbs caught on it.

Friday Photos–More Shadows and Lines

I am fascinated by the interplay of light and dark, sunshine and shadows in nature. Sometimes, I grab my camera and head out the door to capture some of it.

This nut tree started out as a tiny sapling growing amongst a wild rose bush. The rose bush is long gone; the nut tree is thriving. I often see rose bushes and nut trees growing together.

Friday Photos–More Pictures of Fall

My mother’s forsythia bush. Believe it or not, it blooms in October-November, as well as in the spring.

Friday Photos–On the Mild Side

Several years ago my mother and I took a bus trip to ride a pontoon boat on a river—just for something different. The river is noted for its rapids. While I don’t remember the particular classification for the rapids, I do know it gives riders quite a thrill. My mother and I, however, shunned the “wild side” and went in the other direction, on the “mild side”.

Friday Photos–The Splendor of Yellow

Looking up into a maple tree, decked out in its yellow finery–a lift for the spirit! This picture now graces my desktop background.

A shock of yellow among the other colors.

Friday Photos–Plants with Unusual Characteristics

A friend gave my mother some succulent plants commonly called “hens and chicks”. One grew exceptionally tall, about a foot high. (It is in the bottom part of the picture, in the middle, with what looks like a head on the top.)
