Photo of the Day 353/365

Fire in the Sky Over the Hills

While on the way to our Karate School, where I teach, it is my ritual to call my wife to check on the day. Last evening, she said, I might want to stop on the way to grab a photo or two and that the sky was great. She wasn't kidding. whether zoomed in or "big sky" - the photos were wonderful. This was zoomed in so I could see the wisps of fiery clouds at the very edge of the sunset.

Quilled Ornament

Daily Photo Challenge

Tuesday Art

I took this photo over the past weekend at Winterthur. There were so many trees and so many decorations that it was almost too much. This tree stood out as the ornaments were all created by hand, by the staff, using period methods of "quilling". I thought the designs and curled paper were truly creations of art and I had to capture a few shots, of just those creations.

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.
