Autumn sunset ❖ Coucher de soleil d’automne by blue_iris

There may not be a lot of colours around here these days with the leaves gone from the trees, but at least we have had a few beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Wishing you all a great week-end!

Même si les couleurs sont disparues de notre quotidien ces temps-ci, au moins nous avons droit à quelques couchers ou levers de soleil haut en couleur.

Bon week-end à tous!

Most of the leaves are gone from the trees, and I missed the fall colours, but one thing I do like is to see the tree skeletons. I love to see the essence of the trees, without any adornment.

Sorry if I don’t always thank you all individually. Sometimes I just run out of times.
Désolée si je ne réponds pas toujours à vous tous individuellement. Parfois je manque de temps.

Another magical early morning shared with Canada geese while kayaking on the Ottawa river. You can see the mist that is burning off as the sun warms up the air. It has been such a joy this summer to go out on the water early in the morning, commune with nature, and enjoy the peacefulness and quietness that the early morning offers.

Golden morning on the Ottawa River ❖ Un matin en or sur la rivière des Outaouais by blue_iris

❖ Please press M for a full screen view. ❖

This is a picture I took while kayaking at sunrise last week on the Ottawa River. It was very hot and humid, which you can see from the haze in the photo. During that outing, I saw an osprey and a bald eagle but I was too far for good pictures. The sunrise on the other hand was fantastic. This shot was taken straight into the sun, about 45 min after sunrise, when the sun was much higher up in the sky. Hope you like it. Cheers.

At day’s end by blue_iris

“Really to see the sun rise or go down every day, so to relate ourselves to a universal fact, would preserve us sane forever”. – Henry David Thoreau

It’s that time of the year where I like to go watch the sunset down by the river, when I get a chance. Yesterday, I did and me and the mosquitoes had a great time.

Wishing you all a great day and week-end, dear 500pxers friends. No 500px for me on week-ends… Weekly detox.

Bonne journée et bon week-end à vous tous chers amis 500px. Pad de 500px pour moi les fins de semaine. Détox hebdomadaire.
