Day 306 - Photo Homework Lesson #2 - Shoot into the Sun
I got home late from work today, looked as the setting sun was hitting my backyard and thought, "David Perry said to shoot into the sun." This was a great time to practice.
One of my planters with my beloved Lemon Lace vine (Polygonum aubertii) in the background.
Peeking through the Lemon Lace vine (yep, needs a haircut).
Tibuchina kind of backlit by the sun.
Well, trying to get the last of the rays on this container. Didn't quite have the effect I wanted, but lets you see the geranium, angelonia, calibrachoa, and cordyline from a different angle.
I think I'm gonna have to start calling this vine "Shaggy". The last of the sunlight coming through.
Right as the sun set I turned to see this cardinal watching me- as I zoomed in to take his picture, I really thought he was giving me an angry look. Glance to your left and you'll see why - here I am taking his picture and what he really wants is some chow in his birdfeeder.

That cardinal is most definitely giving you the hairy eyeball! Great pictures taking advantage of the fading lighting.
Your pictures were lovely. I don't think I have seen a cardinal since I was a teenager. That is one thing the West Coast does not seem to have, unfortunately.

Yael and Alison, my hubby is becoming an avid bird watcher and is actively finding ways to bring birds into our garden. I keep telling him all we need to do is put in the right plants!
BTW - visited both of y'alls websites recently: delightful! thanks for taking the time to stop by here :)
