Sunset Clouds through the Pines

Photo of the Day 161/365

This photo was taken last week on our vacation in Maine. The day had been gray and cloudy. I was hoping for a clearing skies, or, if things went well, a sunset. As the afternoon wore on, I saw nature trying to deliver the skies and sunet - so I grabbed what I could and got this photo while we were driving on our way back to our cabin. I like the sunbeams "coloring" part of the sky (or what the camera saw)  and the trees. We DID barely catch a sunset (look earlier last week at the red glow sunset).

Boats where the Sea meets the Sky

Tueesday Free Choice: On one of our hikes last week, I looked out on the horizon and saw these white "dots". I grabbed my camera and zoomed out as far as I could. It was two white boats. I also saw it was very difficult to distinguish the sky from the ocean. I was able to grab 2 shots before we had to move on. I loke the mysterious feel of this photo - the white boats almost seem ghost-like in a dream world.

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.

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.

    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.
