January. For us here in the Northern Hemisphere, our days are often short and dark, and sometimes there is no blue sky at all to remind us that summer hasn’t forgotten us. But there is no reason we can’t get our blue fix in other ways, is there?

Enter Daisy Blue. A daisy, dyed blue, against a field of daisies dyed not blue. In fact, the rest of the daisies are about every color imaginable (ahem. A slight poetic license, that statement; mostly they are yellow and orange and purple and green). At any rate a picture to remind us that summer will be along quick enough. Besides, something bright on a winter day always makes me forget that winter is cold. And this time, I was inside, which is nice and toasty warm. Ah, daisy blue.

Summer isn’t done! It isn’t! It isn’t time for fall yet because we just haven’t had enough of summer. Of course, we can’t stop the seasons (and really, when it comes down to it, that would just be no fun. New seasons mean new photo opportunities), but we [...]]]>

Summer isn’t done! It isn’t! It isn’t time for fall yet because we just haven’t had enough of summer. Of course, we can’t stop the seasons (and really, when it comes down to it, that would just be no fun. New seasons mean new photo opportunities), but we can hold onto the seasons just past.

And that’s what this shot is. Taken when fall was just this far future time, this shot happened in the Jemez Mountains. We were cruising along a cartpath up a tree when off to the side we saw this… jumping out we looked at it every which way, and then decided this was a good angle. Out came the camera and quick as that we had this.

I really like the orange wheel against the mountain and the blue sky and think it makes a nice contrast. I hope you think so to.

And I think that summer is wheeling away… but that’s OK. We have pictures.
