Today started off rainy, so my plan to wander around the yard early was foiled. Then the day got busy and before I knew it (shakes fist at the Daylight Savings Time Gods) the day was almost over. But even though the sun had mostly set, I figured there was enough light to get some good shots before it got too dark.
Technically the gloaming (which, according to Wikipedia is "the period after sunset and before the darkness of night" which Google put at just before 5pm in my neck of the woods. I, however, took a meander in our yard at just after 4pm, so I suppose I was a little early for it, but when I stepped outside, that's the first word that came to mind.
But before I get to the photos from my wandering, a quick shout out to Wednesday Walk host, @tattoodjay - I've really missed doing this weekly walks and I plan to make a point of doing them more often. And be sure to hop over and take a peek at his latest - Wednesday Walk around Buttonwood Park. He has some gorgeous shots (the swan looking at its reflection is my personal favorite)
The Autumn Gloaming for a Wednesday Walk
1. The Waxing Crescent moon (will be the First Quarter moon tomorrow night) hanging in the sky.
2. I've never understood why, when the moon is half full, it's called the First Quarter, but there you have it. And here it's considered 39% full.
3. Love how the last bit of sunlight makes the last bit of fall foliage glow.
4. And love how the glowing leaves made for a striking contrast behind the weathervane.
5. It looks so peaceful here, but it was pretty windy at the time.
6. I'm surprised there are still so many leaves hanging on.
6. I managed a quick video of a single leaf toppling through the air, and turned it into a short gif.
7. The gloaming.
8. More glowing trees
9. I get the feeling that by this time next week, these trees will be mostly bare.
10. But they're still putting on quite the show in the meantime.
11. It's that in between time when season is changing to winter, but there are still things growing. Like this single dandelion in the midst of all the fallen leaves.
12. Winter is coming, but it's not here quite yet.
13. As I was heading back inside, hubby and the youngest were just getting home from grocery shopping. He noticed this airplane flying towards the moon and suggested I get a shot. By the time I'd pointed my camera in the right direction, it had already flown past, But I thought it was still a pretty cool shot.
