Here Comes The Sun!

Two weeks of overcast rainy and icy days ended this morning! I was awakened by golden sun streaming through the bamboo blinds above my bed. Heading out the backdoor, I attempted to capture the essence of this sunny day!


We won't be needing this today!


Sunny reflections of a bird bath!


Sun casting fern shadows on a bench!


Sunlit butterfly house!


Sun warmed bricks!


Sun peeking through the entryway!

The birdbath and the sunpeeking through are both really wonderful shots! I like the light and sense fun i all the shots. You can almost feel how nice is was to be outside.

So, Susan....tell us how you really feel about the sun's return! I really like this series, especially the bird feeder reflections and the fern shadows.

The bench and brick photos are my favorites -- but those are all great! And I couldn't help but laugh at Lauraliz's comment; your excitement about the beautiful weather isn't coming through in the least;-)

You're giving me hope! Maybe we'll get some sun yet.

I can feel the warmth. Nice series of shots.

And I also like the one of John from yesterday. We play Rummicub around here, too.

We got sun today for the first time in a week. It was glorious. I love your pictures!

The first photo is my favorite. I like the contrast of the bright blue against the burnt orange of the bricks and I also like the play with patterns between the umbrella and bricks. Glad to see you are getting some good weather. We are awaiting snow and I am hoping we get it because it's been a pretty mild winter so far.

This is a nice series, Susan. Between the beautiful pictures and your comments, I felt like I was right there, soaking up the sun with you. The area around your home looks so lush and park-like ~ just as I've envisioned it all these years. : )

I thought I hadd already posted here how much I liked your sunshine series! Anyway, I came here to tell you that I appreciated your interest in my church photo, and I answered your questions there.

You're doing a great job with your photos!

SUSAN said...

Everyone-thank you for the encouragement! ;-) I was super excited about seeing the sun today and as Laura hinted, it shows!

Aaaahhhh...maybe there's hope for us yet. The pictures are wonderful. We need the cloudy days to remind us how wonderful the sun really is. It's peeped through here a couple of times, but not for long. And it's supposed to rain again all week, beginning this evening. So, I'll vicariously enjoy YOUR sun! :)

Susan, you crazy girl - these are wonderful shots! Every one of them. I love the entry way sun reflecting through the plant leaves. And the umbrella crop is perfect!

You are learning about photography and it shows in these pics!

SUSAN said...

Julie-I didn't crop the umbrella...don't know how to do that yet. hehe

Sheila-I didn't realize how much I missed the sun till it came back.
