Sunset Sky Down the Road

Photo of the Day 234/366

I took this photo last evening. We were on our way home from a shopping trip and I was lamenting that we would miss a nice sunset. My wife and I talked about a different road to take on the way home, so we took it. This photo was taken at a red-light as we were stopped. The clouds in the distance actually cloaked the setting sun, but the sky was really nice and I liked the leading lines in this scene.

Great Egret at the Lake

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Wednesday Nature:  This photo was taken a few years ago at a nearby lake. I was hiking on the lake-side trail when I came upon this Great Egret. I will likely never pass-up a shot of any animal in the wild (exceptions are nearby carnivores - let's to the OTHER way) and this bird's reflection made this shot even more special. This was a lucky shot - when I came back a few minutes later, the bird was gone, but I have this photo to remember it.

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.
