the blue skies beckoned, and once more kripa and i were back in virginia waters to enjoy the fresh air, the trees the water, the birds.. nature... the clouds came on once again.. but then almost like magic the sun shone low in the horizon casting a golden hue to everything the sunbeams alighted upon....
skeletal trees
the clouds turn the environment grey
reflections
sky is getting a golden tint and the waters reflect it back
swan's doing a real bottoms up !
tranquil waters
totem pole (a year younger than me!)brought from british columbia and carved by the kwakiutls of a log of a 600 year old western red cedar tree...
most of the trees that still have leaves left have now turned brown
the 100-ft tall totem from afar.. the sun begins to shine through in bits...
from afar i thought this was a flowering tree...
closer .. realised they were white berries! लटरम्मै!!
further along there were red berries
these ones with a golden tint in the evening sun
serenity...
skeletal branches
hadn't realised pine trees (don't know which ones) also lose their needles in winter...
:)
suddenly one tree with leaves still on seems to come aflame.. the sun was shining through!
branches turn golden...
.. the atmosphere seems magical...
light and shade...
the golden hued view
sublime
.. like off some fairy tale movie...
looking west
sun plays hide and seek with trees
it enhances the wobbly warts on this tree
... as he goes lower into the horizon...
'neath the giant redwood trees
.. this pup tries to bark away the swans...
.. the sun's now gone... and the atmosphere once more turns grey
