Sun Sinking through the Clouds

Photo of the Day 177/365

I took this photo last evening on my way home from our karate classes. I could not pass up another chance to get a good sunset. It started with a view of clouds above our local "mountains" (hills) on the drive home and ended up stopping so I could shoot over an open field. I zoomed in as far as I could and got a number of images but this one was the best. I have wider shots but this one caught my eye.

Purple Phlox

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Thursday Color: Purple is my favorite color - and any time I can capture something in nature that is purple, I will try to get a good shot. This phlox with the deep green of the woods behind it is such a photo. I remember trying to isolate this lone stem so I could make the purple the center of attention.

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.
