After almost a week of rain-heavy clouds, the sun returned today. When I headed out for my walk, this evening I had on a short-sleeve shirt, but it only took a moment for a cold breeze strong enough to fly a kite to change my mind.
After a few minutes of power walking, I fell into a rhythm and clicked off the steps needed to satisfy my Fitbit tracker.
On my last lap, the sun highlighted a scaly-barked tree that's normally in shade. The ivy creeping up its trunk caused me to step back and pull the phone from my pocket and snap a few pictures.
I wasn't sure how it would look so before I walked into the back gate I shot a few photographs of the evening sky. Dark clouds were sweeping from west to east and the setting sun tinted them a subtle shade of purple.
As it turns out, I was happy with the tree picture.

Beautiful, but what about the purple sky?
ReplyDeleteI love the tree photo and I see the great green colours. today we had slushy snow crap with wind..overall...blechh
ReplyDeleteIt is a great picture of the tree. The ivy frames the scaly bark wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty...good catch! I ordered a Fitbit the other day and hopefully it will be a good motivator for me to get back out walking. The days are getting longer but the weather is still Winter bound. Snow again today with cold but I hear it will be warmer by Sunday...looking forward to that! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is snowing here again too. Nice you can get out and walk. I've been having some spring fever here wanting to get outside !
ReplyDeleteNice to see the sun after all those rainy days. Things will be blooming now. Nice ivy plant.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
You always catch a good shot of nature.
