The Daily Joe

Sun Sinking through the Clouds Photo of the Day 177/365 I took this photo last evening on my way home from our karate classes. I could not pass up another chance to get a good sunset. It started with a view of clouds above our local "mountains" (hills) on the drive home and ended up stopping so I could shoot over an open field. I zoomed in as far as I could and got a number of images but this one was the best. I have wider shots but this one caught my eye.

Sunset over the Hay Field Photo of the Day 176/365 I really thought that the opportunity for a sunset was not happening last night. I was home for the evening and was looking, on and off, at the sky - clear with no clouds. As the evening wore on, I glanced out our front window and the light suddenly changed. I got up and looked out. Some clouds had gathered near the horizon and I "had to go" - and got the above image at the neighbor's farm. I had to hustle, but it was worth it.

Sunset and Smoky Sky Photo of the Day 175/365 I took this photo on my way home from class last night. Once again, I got lucky and was able to just stop my car in the middle of the road and take a few iPhone snaps. The traffic on my road isn't always that accomodating, but I won't complain. Despite the extreme heat we're having, the sunsets have been nice.

Rainy Morning with a Misty Field Photo of the Day 174/365 We've been having either rainy days, or like today, VERY warm day. This was taken some time ago on one of the rainy, misty mornings over a field. I had to do some editing to brighten and bring out the field's colors. As I've said before, the camera (no matter what camera) does not always give you what your eye sees.

Sunset Glow and Layers of Hills Photo of the Day 173/365 I just love how the glow of the setting sun offset the layers of the hills in this photo. While this actual photo was taken more than 15 years ago - it could have been last night. The glow in the sky was identical to last evening. I'm not sure if it's smoke in the atmostphere or not, but there are few clouds and an orange glow. I couldn't get out far to get a better photo so the archives had to do.

Night Clouds and Field Grass Photo of the Day 172/365 Last evening my wife and I were on our way home from some errands when I noted how odd the clouds looked to the east. She agreed and aked if I wanted her to stop.  At the time were were on a back road with very little traffic - so I said yes, but just to stop in the road, where there was an open field) and let me grab a few.  I got three pictures using the iPhone and we drove off (no other cars) and this photo is the result.
