Sunset behind the pine tree


 

Always chasing the sunsets (sunrises are  just too early). I try to walk or notice on drives, the colors, the clouds, and the sun position at sunset. I didn't quite position the sun exactly behind the trunk - but I think that would have hidden it too much. I like the way the sun shines through the branches.

Memories of a Spring Day in Maine

On one of our (mostly) annual vacations in Maine, we were just outside Southwest Harbor (I believe) and stopped to look at this dock. It was at a time of day when it was relatively void of people, but fully blue sky and sunshine. Some of my oldest child's engagement photos were taken here.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
