Tina leads this week with a challenge to feature images that exemplify the essence of Ephemeral – something that “lasts for a very short time”. Here in the Pacific Northwest we are knee deep in falling leaves, as deciduous trees show-off lovely shades of red, golds and burgundy.
Transient light provides many opportunities to capture ephemeral moments. Below left, the sun shines through a bank of clouds creating a dramatic scene. Right, sunbeams turn Cyclamen blossoms into bright fairy dancers.
Reflections are another source of fleeting images. Below, carousel horses reflecting upon the glass structure, seem like phantom ponies prancing through the forest outside.
Misty fog adds a delightful softness to everything it touches. Below, a Bald Eagle, feeding on the beach is being watched by a California or Western Gull, ready to step in when the eagle has had its fill!

You get better and better every time!
Thank you, Ralph. Always great to hear from you!
First, a smile for Jello, such a sweetie 🥰. Your leafy image is lovely – loved the close-up vs the many surrounding neighbors. The phantom painted ponies are priceless!!
Thank you, Tina. The ponies image is so fun to feature!
Wow Lindy! I love all of these images but the one of Jello is my favorite.
Thank you Beth. I try not to use it too often. This challenge gave me permission 🐾🐾
Jello was indeed special. Nice shots, all.
Thank you, Jill. Hope you’re feeling better!
Love Jello in the dunes – a photo I remember well. All are beautiful and ephemeral, but the phantom ponies are something special!
Thank you, Leya. There have been many challenges that I might have shown that photo of Jello, again. This time it was perfect!
It’s always perfect, Lindy ♥
