Night-blooming Cactus

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 4, 2024

I am thankful for beauty in the night. My Night-blooming Cactus bloomed last night!
I think this type of Epiphyllum is called Queen of the Night.
The blooms are large and stay open only one night. They have a strong odor that attracts night-flying insects for pollination.

Have a blessed day!

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, February 9, 2020

I am thankful that after a week of rain and before the rain began again on Monday, we had two days of sunshine with clear nights! And as a bonus, the moon was full and shining brightly!
I used the porch railing to steady my camera to get this shot through the trees in our front yard.

Have a blessed day!

Sky Watch: Wolf Moon, January 20, 2017

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, January 13, 2017

We were going home after eating with friends, when we saw the moon rising. I did not have my tripod with me, but when we stopped on the side of the road, I braced the camera on top of the car to get this image.

Happy Friday!

Church at Night, January 5, 2016

Straight Out Of The Camera, January 4, 2016, Corinth, Mississippi, USA

One of my goals for 2016 is to improve my night photography skills. This church photo will serve as a beginning photo to compare my progress to as the year advances. One thing I can see right away is that I need to be more aware of nearby lights. Perhaps a different angle could have eliminated or minimized the extraneous lights. I welcome your photo tips and advice.

Have a wonderful day!
