Last week I was up late and had a great opportunity to photograph the Milky Way. It was absolutely lovely. And once my eyes adjusted, it was not truly dark at all. I love that my camera captured the air glow caused by ‘the light of excited atoms’! I also love how the clouds flirted with the Milky Way and I love the reflections of the night sky on the lake. It was a really lovely night and I was lucky to be there.
The girls and I enjoyed a very pleasant walk to a normally busy lake yesterday. We got off to any early start so had the place to ourselves for about an hour. There are still a few wildflowers and the huckleberries are getting ripe. Willow and Sky and I all had little treats along the trail. It was really lovely.
And clearly, I have a favorite rock. And a favorite Spotted Sandpiper too.
Family photo sessions are always special, especially with my favorite loons. I hope to see them again soon.
I enjoyed watching this Ring-necked Duck trying to herd her ducklings while I sat quietly in my kayak.
I know nothing about these insects except that they are so beautiful.
