Weird Sun Spot Motion Light Shaft Anomaly - Photograph

I took those photographs at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I have no idea what that weird, sun spot in motion with a light shaft beaming down toward the ground anomaly is. Note that in the second photo, the "sun spot" is partially in front of the tree. I do not alter my photographs (unless I explicitly state that I have, which I think I've done only once, with a photo that was very dark, so I applied a filter to it, to enhance the contrasts).

The sun was toward the right side of those photographs, but higher up, and not within view of the camera when I took the photos. I did not observe anything at the time I took them, either. As with the other cases where I have captured anomalies, I can't explain what is seen in the above photographs. And as with the Dudley Town Anomaly photograph, the object in both of those photos is pure white (0xffffff), indicating saturation.

I took that photograph in my yard this past week. That is some type of ground cover that grows on a rock ledge in a shaded area. I liked how it looked in the waning sunlight.

This is 1 of 4 posts of photographs that I took at the Audubon Larsen Wildlife Sanctuary in Fairfield, CT this past week.

The older I get, the less I like Winter, however, each season in New England does have its unique beauty.

Daffodils - Photograph

I liked how the light and shadows of the morning sunlight shining through the window blinds looked on these Daffodils that I have in a vase. I cut these in my flower garden a few days ago. Their beauty and perfection is cheerful to look at. Daffodils are one of the few flowers that Deer don't eat.

Waterfall Stone Wall Dam In Woods - Photograph

This is 1 of 3 posts of photographs that I took on a second trip to one of the north trails off Rock House Rd in Easton, CT. This trail is part of the Centennial Watershed State Forest Aspetuck Trail. The official trail map must be carried as one's permit for access to the area.

With regard to why a permit is needed on these particular hiking trails: they are on land that the public water supply flows through. So they have rules for what you can and can't do there, and if you get caught in there without a permit (which is the trail map), you can be fined / arrested.

This north trail has a hidden gem on it only about 15 minutes walk north of the road: a stone wall dam / waterfall! The trail also parallels the water, which makes for a tranquil, enjoyable setting.

"Long Shadow" - Postcard

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Three Muses challenge was "Illustrate a Quote."

My inspiration quote was an Irish Proverb:

All sins cast long shadows.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.8.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)
