Late Day Sun

This isn't the first, and probably won't be the last time I've posted photos which were taken late in the afternoon. It's my favourite time of day. Leaves, petals wings and feathers appear richer when saturated with the golden colours of the late afternoon sunlight. The following images were taken on a few different days either at Frank's place or my own neck of the woods. Please remember to click to enlarge them.



A walk along the creek near Frank's home is always a treat. At every twist and turn, a new crop of flowers emerge. (Click to enlarge)



The colours which painted the shoreline a week earlier, have often faded out to make way for a new pallet. (Click to enlarge)



A lone daisy grows by the shoreline of the creek. (Click to enlarge)



Glancing to our left, we saw this family of ducks swimming off to find a more secluded spot. (Click to enlarge)



Sunlight found its way through the shadows to illuminate this rock, which filters through from behind the fronds of this fern. (Click to enlarge)



This Bachelor Button soaks up the colours of the late afternoon. (Click to enlarge)



A small red beetle basks in the last of the sun's rays. (Click to enlarge)



A bit later in the day, this back yard rose comes alive with its scent after soaking up the day's sunshine. (Click to enlarge)



Back near my place, this grasshopper posed nicely while I zoomed in for a shot. (Click to enlarge)



A seagull contemplates its fishing possibilities along the dam at my neighbourhood pond. (Click to enlarge)



After an afternoon shower cleared the air, the sun peeked out from between the clouds, creating the vivid oranges and greens of these droplet-laden Tiger Lilies. (Click to enlarge)



Viewed from above, this Heron landed on the dam while I was taking my evening stroll. He watched me with a wary eye as I took several shots. (Click to enlarge)



Once his fishing expedition was over, he flew off into the setting sun. (Click to enlarge)
