It was a rainy day today, that is until just before the sunset and I decided to see if I could get some photos. As I went out to my car I looked up and saw a tiny sliver of a rainbow -- you may have to enlarge the photo to see it(click on the photo), but it's there, a tiny sliver of hope for a better day and I thought -- how appropriate!
Then I headed to the park above the harbor and caught the sun making a surprise appearance before settling down for its evening rest.
And as it broke through the clouds I thought -- again, how appropriate for now, those fingers of light that drive away the darkness.
Then, on my way home, I saw another one of those brilliant red trees/bushes! Not sure exactly what they are, but from what I've been able to find out they're in the maple family. Needless to say, it was a fun way to end the day. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them. Happy weekend!

Wow! What gorgeous photos! Those are amazing skies and I love the color on those bushes.
What beautiful photos!!
Your pictures are wonderful. I found your bit of a rainbow. And that red leafed maple is magnificent!
Oh I love rainbows Sylvia - they are the sign of better things to come. Your photography skills are really wonderful. Who knows where it might lead. Its also good to see all those rich coloured leaves too - Autumn is a great time of year. There is a song I love called Autumn Leaves by Eva Cassidy. Google it on You Tube. Its just beautiful!
Love it when you take us on a tour with you. Great photos!
fun photos, sunset and clouds add a little sun and it's a recipe for great photos.
Those photos are just amazing. I love the bush, too. It is just beautiful. We have some bushes here like that and most people call them "burning" bushes. I am sure that is not the real name for them though. I did see the rainbow.
Great photos! You live in such a beautiful place.
Keep on clicking that shutter. You are giving pleasure to so many with your photos. I really enjoy seeing the area you live in.
I see the tiny rainbow!! and I feel the hope :)
the reds in the trees and that shrub are so vivid
beautiful shots
I certainly DID enjoy looking at your photos. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the rainbow and I've always considered rainbows very significant for good things. All of your photos were very appropriate for the hope and light we're waiting for.

These skies look similar to ours, but we’ve not yet gotten more than a few drizzles … though I’m still hoping for rain. I love the fall colors too ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
