After the storm...

I think this one qualifies... but I'm not really sure why*. I like the way the direct afternoon sun hits the out-of-focus trees in the background, contrasted with the indirect lighting on the weeds in the foreground. Seems like a very ordinary picture, but I find it intriguing.

* (Alumni of "A Government Agency" formerly known as the Fairbanks Highway Research Station might say, "that's on a 'need to know' basis, and you don't need to know that.")

Great idea for a theme - I'll probably revisit ith a few earlier faves, but this was a couple of months back - the just pre-dawn light light was lovely - I'm not sure I did it total justice, but it's the best I could do.

A nice day for hiking in Palm Springs in between the showers.

Warmer than freezing, early this morning, foggy as a result. Here's some "magical light" from incandescent sources - the neighbor's security lights got funky when he had siding replaced, and they won't go off. Made an interesting effect behind the trees, though.
