Sunset, Sunbeams, and Blue Hills Photo of the Day 174/365 This past weekend, we saw an amazing sunset, and my wife and I drove to a number of locations. This show was from the first stop that we made, and the furthest north on our jaunt. We were pulled into an empty church parking lot with an amazing valley view. This shot showed the sunbeams coming from the clouds and the blue hills at the far end of the valley. I really liked this photo,

Backroad to a Dark Sunset Photo of the Day 173/365 On a road trip this weekend, we were trying to find locations for future sunsets and hoped to be able to catch a sunset. Unfortuantely, the rain clouds had other ideas. My wife decided to go down a road through a local game lands. As we topped a hill, I asked her to stop the car and back up just a bit. I found this view of this road going into the cloudy sunset. The clouds did give way later but I thought this looked dramatic.

Double Rainbow over the Field Photo of the Day 172/365 Last evening, my wife and I decided to get out of the house and go for another drive to scout locations for more sunset photos. The sun was trying to set, but rainclouds were moving in. We drove down a number of roads I had never been on, but we came out of the rain and saw the sun shining through the clouds, and I said we needed to be on the lookout for a rainbow. I got my wish and got a double showing over the field! Happy Father's Day!!

Sunset through the Dust Photo of the Day 171/365 We saw the sun setting last evening, and my wife and I decided to try to get out of the house and drive around, seeing if we could get some sunset time and photos. We made it to our first location, and I did get some captures, and then moved on. While going down the road, my wife exclaimed at one stop at the sun setting through the field dust. I did manage to get one shot before we had to move. I like how it came out.

Sunset on the Water Photo of the Day 170/365 Some days you just have to let things happen. This was one of those days. The sun had set, and the stress was falling away. The water reflected the sky, and the day was ending well. It helped the stresses of the day drain away with the fleeing clouds. I can only hope you have those kinds of days.

Sunset Behind the Tree Photo of the Day 169/365 Last evening, I was not very hopeful of a good sunset. The sky was so clear as the afternoon waned, and I was a little depressed as the heavy equipment began to tear up and flatten the farm fields where I love to take photos. I glanced out of our front window and happened to see a wonderful sunset with colorful clouds near the horizon just outside my front yard. I did get a few nice photos, and this was the best.
