Lilies Against the Setting Sun

AGAINST THE SETTING SUN BY THE PATIO.

Photographs by Tony Fernandes.

Consider the lilies of the field

Whose bloom is brief:

We are as they;

Like them we fade away

As doth a leaf.

     

- Christina Rossetti.

BUCK MOON

Meanwhile, in Mississauga, it was a Full Moon last night. In the photo planet Jupiter is on the left as a tiny dot. Traditionally, a full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because a buck’s antlers are in full growth mode at this time. This full Moon is also known as the Thunder Moon because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month.

Leaves against sunset

"Each leaf tells us a story. the story of its struggle. the struggle against the storms that it faces in life.”  ― Avijeet Das
