We were walking yesterday when we came across some Carolina jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens), a vine with tubular yellow, five‑petaled flowers and long, narrow green leaves. They were already in bloom thanks to the warm, sunny weather. This photo shows three of the blossoms along with their surrounding leaves.

If you love flowers—or just enjoy discovering their beauty and names like I do—come explore my gallery of blooms captured in moments of wonder and curiosity.

"The photograph captures a single, arching vine of Carolina jasmine held in crisp focus against a soft, blurred backdrop. The stem is a warm reddish‑brown, slender and slightly curved, almost like a brushstroke suspended in the air. Along it, narrow, glossy green leaves reach outward in alternating directions, their surfaces catching the light with a gentle sheen.

Two bright yellow blossoms command the center of the frame. Each flower is shaped like a small trumpet opening toward the viewer, with five rounded petals forming a soft star. The petals glow with a saturated, sunlit yellow—rich, warm, and almost luminous—creating a striking contrast against the deep greens of the leaves and the muted background. The flowers appear delicate but confident, as if they’re quietly announcing spring." - Microsoft Copilot — "The photograph captures a single, arching vine of Carolina jasmine held in crisp focus against a soft, blurred backdrop.

Robin at Attention

I haven’t seen any American robins (Turdus migratorius) for quite a while, though Merlin keeps reminding me they’re still around. This is an image I took a few years ago of one looking straight back at me.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"An American robin stands squarely on a patch of early‑season grass, facing the camera with the kind of direct, unhurried confidence this species carries so naturally. Its body fills the frame, making the bird feel close enough to touch. The robin’s breast is a deep, warm orange—rich and saturated, like the color of a ripe persimmon. That bold chest meets a dark, almost charcoal‑black head, giving the bird a crisp, clean contrast.

Its eyes are bright and alert, set beneath a thin white eye‑ring that reads almost like a subtle highlight. The beak is slender and yellow, pointed slightly downward as if the bird has paused mid‑stride to assess the world. The wings and back are a smooth gray, each feather lying neatly in place, creating a soft gradient from slate to smoke.

The robin’s legs are thin but sturdy, gripping the mixed green‑and‑brown grass beneath it. The ground is textured—some blades upright, others flattened—suggesting a natural, lived‑in patch of earth. The background stays close and simple, keeping all attention on the bird’s posture, color, and presence. A small photographer’s signature rests in the upper corner, marking the image as a deliberate, careful capture of a familiar but striking species.

The overall feeling is one of quiet readiness, as if the robin is about to hop forward, tilt its head, and listen for the faint movement of a worm beneath the soil." - Microsoft Copilot — "An American robin stands squarely on a patch of early‑season grass, facing the camera with the kind of direct, unhurried confidence this species carries so naturally.

“Shoreline and Reflected Ridge” — A Sierra Nevada ridge reflected in a subalpine wilderness lake.

If you are a Sierra Nevada backcountry traveler, you recognize this a a classic Range of Light scene. It was early morning, and I had been photographing since before sunrise. I walked the shoreline of this subalpine lake, following terrain like that in this photograph. The sun’s light angled across the high peaks and talus slopes as it rose above ridges to the east…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2026/02/03/shoreline-and-reflected-ridge/
