TREE DURING THE GOLDEN HOUR

Ida Lee Tree at Sunset (iPhone photo)

The sun was setting as I ventured out on an errand. A single leafless tree at the edge of our local park provided a nice silhouette against the gold and blue sky. I quickly pulled over and got out my iPhone to get a picture. My DSLR would have been better, but it was at home. As they say, the best camera for the job is the one you have with you.

Another Ida Lee Park Sunset
The clear sky in the photo disappeared and gave way to clouds. The golden hour hasn't come back. But I was able to catch a decent sunset from the same spot. Only this time I had my Canon 5D Mark iv with a 24-105 L series lens. The setting sun did add some nice orange colors.

A Cardinal to Brighten Winter Scenery

This bright red cardinal payed a visit to my Mother's bird feeders this past weekend. He wasn't too close but a lot of cropping let me capture his glory.
