As luck would have it: LAPC

/ SoyBend

As luck would have it, sometimes I see skies painted with bold strokes of orange

In a High Desert yard - sunset October 2019

Or blue skies full of popcorn clouds

Popcorn Factory , Clouds over Bend, Oregon 9November2018

Sometimes, I’m in a distant place at the right time and see tiny perennials in bloom

Bitterroot, Lewisii redviva

Or winged beauties alighting on blossoms in my own garden

as luck would have it

As luck would have it, sometimes I pause along a road and a small predator looks back at me

Or I discover a snowshoe-footed creature by the trail that other hikers did not notice

missed it by a hare

And if I’m very lucky, sometimes I unknowingly photograph something I hadn’t intended to

Can you find two purple pickerel bloom stalks, a pink waterlily, two spiders, and a frog?

  4. Siobhan, as always, your writing pairs beautifully with your gorgeous photography. This is a wonderful gallery, and that last shot, especially, wraps up the post perfectly. Nature smiled at you.

    • Thank you, John! I didn’t realize there were hidden treasures in the last one until I took a closer look. 🙂
