High water at sunrise. The Maumee River churns as the rising sun splashes color in the clouds at dawn today.

Mist rises from the turbulent water of a river under a sky with orange and pink bands of clouds. The brightening blue hints at a beautiful day ahead.

Oncoming traffic. Afterglow as clouds break up following a rain this evening. #sunset #clouds #nature #rural #ohio

Warm hues dust the cloud shield overhead as it begins to break apart. Pinks and oranges highlight the gray underbelly from a sum well past the horizon. A darkening blue beyond shows through, as green grass around black asphalt framed in white lines and divided in yellow dashes lead to the vanishing point, where distant headlights shimmer.

Quiet time. Slow water reflects the painted sky at sunset along the Maumee River tonight. #sunset #nature #maumeeriver #clouds #ohio

A blue sky that fades to light brown lies behind white clouds painted in orange light from a setting sun. In the distance a bank of pink and purple clouds rises above the tree line of the riverbank. Water, stilled by evening air, reflects the colors from above with shrubs and trees on the near bank masking the river’s edge.

Stepping into a dream. There are a few moments around sunrise and sunset where the colors just take hold of your soul. #sunset #maumeeriver #nature #clouds #ohio

A sky of light blue lies behind a shield of tufted gray and purple clouds with pink and orange edges. Far off, a layer of thin orange glows from the retreating sun. With banks lined with green trees and top branches catching yellow light, a calm river reflects the colors around rocks and and exposed bedrock in this inset photo.

Prelude to autumn. A few scattered leaves on the exposed riverbed is a clear sign of the season to come. At sunset tonight along the Maumee River, near Grand Rapids, OH. #sunset #nature #maumeeriver #ohio

An orange sky dissolves into pink and purple near the horizon. Brown bedrock, normally below the river’s surface is pockmarked with holes chiseled by swift currents spinning hard stones. The far bank is lined with green trees topped in the sun’s last golden rays of the day. A few brown leaves hearld the change of season soon to come.

Gentle sunset. Pastel colors slowly grew and faded as the clouded sky caught the last light of day along the Maumee River near Grand Rapids, OH tonight.

Trees nearly in silhouette line the banks of a wide river. The sky above has layers of clouds each with a different form and catching a different color. Blue sky is behind tufts of blue clouds at the top, yellow streaks follow with orange just above the tree line of the far bank. The water’s rippled surface blurs the colors it reflects in this sunset photo.
