glasswort blends into the marshscape so easily in the summer we hardly notice it...and then comes fall!! how can you miss it??!!

sea serpent in the sand

this was my favorite from that outing...the rock makes me think of a tired sea serpent resting its head on the roll of sand as the tide comes in...

low tide at sunset always attracts me and my camera :) and even though as sunsets go there was not much color, there was still a little glow on the horizon...the tide was coming in quickly though and the opportunity for this shot did not last long!

this is a closeup of a section of the previous post, taken with a longer lens. i enjoy the different shapes and textures of the sections of the ice and water. both this and the previous shot were taken just after the sun went below the horizon...

Ariel view of flooded and fallow fields

Leviathan surfaces, sounds
break the ice. Close up
familiar grounds take far
from far away. Restore perspective:
under cloud cover
rocks creep ashore.

i thought this might be a good followup to the previous post, as well as a way to get back into the habit of posting more regularly...:)

clouds at sunset seem to either be scarce or total occlusion on the horizon to block the sun...very frustrating! i did manage to capture this a couple of weeks ago...the clouds in the image were the only clouds in the sky!!

at last, at last!! monday's clouds led to quite a colorful sunset :)))) the clouds has been busy all day but i have long since given up on being able to predict what sunset will be like...that day the gloomy afternoon low cloud cover had a break at the horizon line at a good time for that sunlight to bounce off the bottom of the clouds :))))) i went out, set up, and waited for the moment...

fall sunset

bright electric black
on black. luminescence inked
into a skyscape, muted
pranced clouds cover
still the water
colored shadows run
darker than the deep
backlit by the sun.
