Yearning for the sunlight. Live-giving light beams down onto these beautiful leaves, and they convert it to energy they can use to create flowers and seeds. Simply perfect!

Leaves aglow
The red tips of this plant, reaching for the morning sun, caught my eye.

I love the red glow from the beam of light 🙂
I am thankful that the red glow is simply the sun’s illumination and not a glow of fire such as both Colorado and Arkansas are currently suffering!
Sunrise Reveals Treasure
In the early hours of the day, the sun picks out some of its favorite treasures.
Glowing Treasure Trove – Summer 2012
They glow so brightly against the deep shadows of the woods and pond behind.
Soaking in the early morning sunshine always starts my day with a warm glow. There’s no better mood pick-me-up than the sunlight, for me 🙂
Good Morning, Sun!
We may not see them move, but heliotropic plants exist! I believe 😉
Yearning for the light – Summer 2012
Can you feel this plant’s celebration of sunrise? Reaching, yearning for the sun’s embrace.
Blends with Leaves
This Copperhead snake would blend in much better with all these dried leaves on the “forest” floor if only that pesky early morning sun wasn’t highlighting the roundness of its body and the beautiful texture of those scales.

I am glad I was watching for interesting things illumined by the sun’s rays. What a pretty snake – and I am glad I saw it before tripping over it! I guess greenbrier over the path serves some useful purpose 🙂
Waving at the Sunshine
Love the Sunshine! - Spring 2012
In early spring the new, green leaves stretch toward the sun, fluttering their appreciation of that wonderful gift of warmth and energy. How do you show your appreciation of the sun?
Perfection Unfurling
The very newest are so often perfect. The rest of the world has not yet had time to impact their perfection. Yet, in its own way, the twisted, gnarled Old is also perfect. It has met the world and is still standing.
New, Perfection - Spring 2012
Shiny new leaves, rusty old post
Hmm. A friend said I like contrasts like this. I think he may be right. I love the contrast of the shiny leaves, newly opened to the world, climbing up the weathered, rusty post which has been standing its ground since some farmer planted it there so many years ago. It also makes me smile to think about how it appears that the post is sprouting new leaves for the spring!

Spring Green Glow!
The glowing, yellow-green of spring leaves – Chartreuse – The color makes me feel a glow inside. I made this shot my monitor’s desktop wallpaper so I can look at it daily.
Soft, new fuzz on the edges - And can you feel the flow of sap through the veins?
It’s a BIG World Out There!
A small, red beetle crawled up an apple leaf. At the edge, what should he do?
What's Next? - Summer 2010
What would you do, were you a small, red bug? Fly off into the wild green yonder? Travel around the edge of the leaf? Cross over to the other side of the leaf?
