A bright line to the sun
Yesterday the sun was bright. Welcome after a cold rainy period.
A soft gray-green day
This time of year the wood look soft with the moss and ferns providing a touch of bright green on a drippy gray day. Moss’s texture catches and reflects light, in almost the same way that glitter does. It appears brighter than anything should almost sunlit at times, even though the sun was AWOL.

I don’t shoot in black and white, but I took these photos on a walk yesterday planning to process them in Black and White for Hey Jude’s 2020 Photo Challenge #47: photograph nature in Black and White and experiment with high and low key effects.

Tonight’s last light
Sometimes the sunset makes you feel like you are on a different planet. This evening was one such.

Shinglemill Creek
The creek crosses a delta that exists only when the tide is out. Every day the path changes a bit.
