Revisit of Country Sunset Dreams

A multiple exposure image of sunset colours over the top of silhouetted corn leaves that rise up into the blue and pink clouds in the sky. There is a thin reddish streak near the right side of the image just above the darkest leaf spikes. The leaves in the image seem to be rising into the clouds, getting paler as they go.
Dream of a country sunset – multiple exposure

I had to run to the nearby field to get this photo as the sun was fading fast. The ripening crop in this field stands about 3 feet taller than my head, with the path on a much lower level. The foliage makes an interesting silhouette in the foreground, but the (in camera) multiple exposure gives such a dreamy feel that I decided to reshare this.

Have a lovely Tuesday, all.

Country Walk in the Fog

A foggy country end of season scene, with dried grasses and a ditch on the left side leading up to a stone culvert. There is, bottom left, an old wooden gate with wooden fencing. A path leads up beside the ditch.
Country walk in the fog

English fog in the countryside lends a lovely softness to a scene, such as this one, which was on a walk near the river close to Coningsby in Lincolnshire.

I hope everyone’s Monday has some gentleness to it. This is being posted from my blog, so feel free to visit from the link if you want to see more of my photographs and stories.

Blue Thimbleflower

Today’s blue flower is a complementary colour to the bright yellow of yesterday, but it in no way indicates anything but happiness. To prove it, I am showing you the general environment in a photograph below, so that you can really appreciate the part some of the flowers have played in my wildflower section of the garden. The blue complements the yellows and oranges, the scene is all in harmony and there is a general feeling of peace and relaxation. Could there be a better place to sit, contemplating the day, first thing in the morning, with the sun coming up over the trees and that inviting path leading to the orchard just in front? I can’t think of anywhere. To be able to do that in that spot, I will have to wait for next year. In the meantime, I hope you all have a lovely day with calming and peaceful moments between the hectic, busy ones. Flower a Day #462 View all posts on the Home page.
