The humidity of the past few days had vanished, replaced with clear blue sky and a delightful breeze. I ventured out to Piney Woods Church Road this evening to take a few photographs in that wonderful hour before sunset. These two are my favorites from the outing.
It has been a challenging week for me — for many of us — as we collectively mourn the untimely passing of Robin Williams. His humor brought joy to the lives of many. These images remind me that even in dark times — especially in dark times — we need to keep letting the light shine through.
Thank you, Robin, and good night.
Do you know the plant in your lovely second photo? It reminds me of mimosa, but not quite.
Sara, I am fairly confident that it is not a mimosa seedling, though it does look like one. My guess would be the native and very abundant partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), though without seeing one in bloom, I can’t be certain. I will keep watching it closely, because I am curious to obtain a positive ID for it, as well.
