Magical Sky

The western sky was magical on Friday evening, with Venus almost directly over the new moon in a clear sky and Jupiter up higher and to the left. There is more information online about the magical sky.

Bright Colors on a Wet Morning

With the yard and everything in it literally saturated, along with surrounding wild areas, colors were singing in the rain.

Between the Rains, Sunshine

Most of Sunday was a dreary, dispiriting day – chilly and drizzly, with leaden grey skies. Then in the evening the rain stopped, and the sun struggled through fog and mist to bring the day to a glorious close. Never have the garden flowers and wildflowers looked lovelier. 

Never have the neighboring farmlands shown off to greater advantage. And has this handsome horse’s coat ever caught the late evening light in quite this way?

We stopped by a friend’s house to catch sunset from his deck high over Lake Michigan. He opened a bottle of good red wine.  It was one of those glorious Up North hours!
