Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) flower
In the darkness, with soft light, even the smallest details of fragile form and the quiet elegance of nature learn how to glow.
Cheers!
Three days ago, I finally managed to get out along the Elbow Falls Trail that goes westwards into the beginning of the mountains. This was the first time I had managed to get out there this year and, really on the spur of the moment, that's where I decided to go. The weather called for some sun and some cloud, which sounded good. After the two heavy snowfalls on 9 and 10 September, I wasn't sure what to expect before I reached the beginning of the mountains, but every bit of snow had disappeared. The furthest point of my drive was Forgetmenot Pond, one of my favourite places to go. Too many other people had also decided to come out to this beautiful spot, unfortunately. This drive is the only one I will do on my own into the mountains, and it only takes about an hour to get from home to the Pond.
On the return drive, I called in at a place not far from the pond, where I have found a few mushrooms in previous years, and managed to find just a few that were in good enough condition to photograph. Other than that, I didn't see a whole lot during the few hours I was out. The scenery is spectacular and there were patches of trees that have turned yellow. Some of the trees looked as though their leaves were past their fall prime, and I came away wondering if I was a bit too early or a bit too late (seems to be the latter) to see the best of the fall colours. Found this small Moth on an outhouse wall : ) The final place I called in at was Maclean Pond, but the light was fading somewhat and so I didn't feel like going far into the forest. I had just got back into my car when I happened to look up just in time to see a family of beautiful Bluejays not far from the parking lot. Managed to get a few shots, but distant and not as sharp as they should have been. A nice way to end the day, though.

Comments Greatly Appreciated,
Jupiter, Antares and Mars all line up across the scene while the Milky Way rises behind Delicate Arch. Delicate Arch is always the highlight for our students in our workshops. It's always fun to hike up in the dark and then back down at sunrise. If you have never experienced the night from this vantage point, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list. Join a group, go with friends or whatever it takes. It's really a magical scene.

Cherry blossoms delicately wrap around the Thomas Jefferson Memorial at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC during the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The very beautiful, delicate blossom of the Nanking Cherry trees. We grow these to encourage honey bees and later the fruit feeds the birds.

A serene glimpse into the harmony between flora and fauna, showcasing the elegance and wonder found in the smallest of creatures.
"Then there are shadblow & delicate anemones, about the time of the cherry blossoms; the brief glory of the apple orchards follows; & then the thronging dogwoods fill the forests with their radiance; & so flowers follow flowers until the springtime splendor closes with the laurel & the evanescent, honey-sweet locust bloom."
-Theodore Roosevelt, 26th American President (1858-1919).
Shadblow Serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis) Also called Shadbush. Another common name is Juneberry because it has edible berries that ripen in June. We have not had a chance to taste them because the birds get to them before they are fully ripe.
Another green one ...
