ladybug
An almost blooming thistle, and a ladybug. The red/green contrast is almost as good as yellow/blue.
Ice Guard
A stream disappears into a tunnel under Duluth; the way is partially blocked by a pillar of ice from a storm drain.
flower, in sun
Not much to add to a sunflower lit by the evening golden hour.
Shading
Shadows from a thunder head turn the sky into a study of tones.
Light(n)ing
Lightning illuminates sheets of rain in the core of a storm near Strausberg.
whodunit
I’m sure the hole in the Mullein leaf bears no relation to the shadow on the other side.
portal
A shot through an ancient burnt-out tree shows the trail around McCurdy Mountain.
flames of fall
Golden and red aspen run up the side of an unnamed mountain like tongues of fire.
yellow rose of the canal
A yellow rose grows wild along the Highline Canal. An early morning rain shower adds photogenic drops and strengthens the greens.
Late Snow
A good snow pack persists into May, refreshed by storms at the same time as tornados on the planes.
