Natural beauty

Via [personal profile] melannen, a request for peaceful nature photographs. This is vinca, photographed recently on a walk, yes flowering in January.

Purple vinca flower glowing in January afternoon light.

I've been inspired by [personal profile] jesse_the_k's sky photographs to pay more attention to the sky when I get the chance. This was my reward for going on an bike ride on a cold December morning. (Click for large version.)

I like both of those. Thank you.

(When does the vinca usually bloom, in your neck of the woods?)

SUPER CLOUD-on-SKY ACTION.

How lovely. Is that the Willamette, or a smaller tributary?
