PARTS OF THE WHOLE

JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE WHOLE ITSELF

PORTRAYS DORMANCY 

END OF GROWTH SPURT

SAME TIME

BITS OF GREEN BELOW 

SHOW THEMSELVES

READY FOR RENEWAL

DEEP STRIATIONS

 SURROUNDING 

REMAINDER OF A BRANCH

NOW LINES AND RINGS

WHERE LIFE ONCE WAS  

NOW BARE 

FEW DRIED LEAVES

STILL HANGING ON

BARE BRANCHES

AS A CURTAIN

SILHOUETTING ANOTHER

SOARING AGAINST THE SKY

EVER CHANGING CLOUD FORMATIONS

 POPULATING BEAUTIFUL CLEAR SKIES

THE FIERCENESS OF THESE CLOUDS

CONTRASTED AND ENHANCED 

THE MIRACULOUS BEAUTY OF THE SKIES

NIGHT  QUICKLY APPROACHING

SKIES ARE ALL ABLAZE 

REDS, ORANGES, BLUES, PINKS, YELLOWS

 INCREDIBLE COLORS

MARK LAST NIGHT'S MAGNIFICENT SUNSET

 

 FIERCENESS OF MAGNIFICENT CLOUDS

 COULD BE BEFORE SUNSET  

A STORM COULD BE BREWING

SKIES COULD BE CLEARING

  SKIES OVER THE BEACH

A GULL READYING TO SWOOP DOWN TO CATCH HIS PREY

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

ORANGE FORGOTTEN

TOSSED ASIDE

 COULD HAVE FALLEN WITHOUT SOMEONE KNOWING

A LONE DUCK

WALKING ALONG THE SHORE

THE WARMTH AND CALM OF SPRING IN JANUARY

THE BRIGHT BLUE SKIES

 FULL OF BEAUTIFUL LIGHT FLUFFY CLOUDS 

MARKED YESTERDAY'S SPRINGLIKE WEATHER 

 

THE BIRDS WERE SOARING!

 WAVES WERE BREAKING  BELOW!

 NIGHT WAS FALLING!

 MARKED BY A MAGNIFICENT SUNSET!

 A MAJESTIC FULL MOON! 

TONIGHT'S SUNSET WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!

EMBRACE THE BEAUTY!

 WITH EVERY LOOK AT THAT SKY

DON'T THINK OF THE DAY ENDING;

BUT THE GORGEOUS NIGHT SKIES AWAKENING

ADMIRE THE CLOUD FORMATIONS BLENDING WITH THE 

VIBRANT COLORS OF SUNSET!

TONIGHT THE SKY WAS ON FIRE!

LOOKING AT ANOTHER PART OF THE SKY - THERE WERE NOT MAGNIFICENT HUES OF COLOR BUT HUES OF GRAYISH/BLUE CLOUDS SIGNIFYING NIGHT'S ARRIVAL

SOARING TO THE CLOUDS

THE BEAUTY OF NATURE CAN BE SEEN AT ALL ANGLES; THROUGH DIFFERENT LENSES.

THE HEIGHT AND STATURE OF THIS MAGNIFICENT OAK CAN BE APPRECIATED EVEN MORE, SHOOTING AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE USING THE FISHEYE LENS
