    Hazy gold and orange sunset at Lost Ponds, Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. August 26, 2019, 7:04 PM.

    Standing beside a pond, in front of an opening in the lush forest that encircles it. A crevassed gray rock below has a few leafy shrubs growing through its cracks. The sun is about to set behind a low ridge running along the far shore, casting a bright yellow glow in the sky above, tinting the hazy swirl of clouds around it gold and orange tones. This is mirrored on the very lightly rippled waters below.

      The western wind is blowing fair
      Across the dark AEgean sea,
      And at the secret marble stair
      My Tyrian galley waits for thee.
      Come down! the purple sail is spread,
      The watchman sleeps within the town,
      O leave thy lily-flowered bed,
      O Lady mine come down, come down!

          time!
          My neighbours' honeybees visit our gardens often. Today, I caught them feeding on some of my delphinium flowers 🐝💜

          A bee feeding inside a delphinium purple flower with white accents, its body laden with pollen. You can only see one pollen heavy leg, wings & back body of the bee - its head is inside the flower.

                            Then I spotted a dark shape in the grass. After a few minutes, this resting bull, came into view.

                            a lone elk with large antlers rests on green grass in a misty field. The background shows a corn field and foggy forest with blurred trees under a bright, cloudy sky.

Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled light and shadow patterns on the forest floor. On the right, the ground is covered in a lush carpet of vibrant green moss, while the path itself appears well-trodden, with a mix of dirt and small stones. Fallen branches and exposed tree roots add natural texture to the woodland scene.

Then, I decided to explore a part of the site I hadn't visited, down a narrow dirt road, 8-foot walls of corn on either side.

                                                          As I came to a clearing, I surprised these bulls and much as they surprised me. ❤️

Her glossy plumage, a symphony of ebony and russet, catches the sunlight, revealing intricate patterns etched into each feather. The rich, velvety black of her body contrasts beautifully with the vibrant red-orange patches on her wings—a striking combination that defines her species. Her beak, pointed and precise, hints at her adaptability as a forager. Perhaps she’s scanning the surroundings for insects, seeds, or small aquatic creatures—the staples of her diet. Her eyes, dark and watchful, reflect both curiosity and caution. She is a sentinel, attuned to every rustle of leaves and ripple in the water below. The cypress branch cradles her with care. Its rough bark provides stability, and the delicate green needles create a soft cushion against the sky." - Microsoft Copilot
