Not sure why it bothers me, but….
I don’t like it when the moon is visible in the daytime (in this instance, 10:15a et).

Not sure why this image was so appealing to me, but it was.
The sun poking though my fence, the boards casting shadows on the neighbor’s yard.
One is how the phone took it, the other I played with the iPhone picture editing tools a bit.
Nothing special, just something that caught me eye.

A sky shadow!
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen (or at least not noticed) the setting sun at an angle that results in clouds casting shadows in the evening sky.
Not a great photo, but I was walking out of my meeting and my hands were full. Still, something very neat and interesting to me.
