Tree and Sunset Fire

Photo of the Day 114/365

I took this photo about two weeks ago. I was out for an evening walk and happened to catch the sun setting before it was hidden by the coming clouds. As it shone, I was able to get a position so that the tree shaded the setting sun, making the tree look like it was on fire.

Chipping Sparrow on the Deck

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Friday Nature: While my wife and I were eating lunch on our back deck, we were just chatting about the day when she said to carefully look behind me. I did, and this sparrow was on the deck rail. I slowly raised my iPhone to grab some photos. I managed 3 before it flew away. It was only about five feet from me - and I felt blessed by the shots.

Sunset and Field Grass Photo of the Day 335/365 I took this photo over the Thanksgiving Holiday (here in the states). I was out for a very short sunset walk. I really wanted to catch the sunset itself, this time, so I left a little early. In reality, I left a little too early and it was a little cold, but I managed to hold and and try to get some good images. I really like how this one came out. I like the sunshine hitting the grass and the streaming clouds. It looks alot warmer than it was.

Reds in the Sky before the Dawn Photo of the Day 24/365 I had been hoping for a nice sunrise yesterday morning but there was a huge sweeping bank of clouds right where the sunrise would be. But as I looked closer, I saw the pinds and reds at the horizon and thought that if I cold make them the focus, I could get a good photo. I tried to frame that part of the sky with a nearby tree and I think I got what I wanted.

 Streamers in the Dawn Sky Photo of the Day 241/365 I found this scene on the way to work yesterday morning. As the days move on in the year, the sun rises earlier and earlier. The sun was actually higher in the sky than I'd like for a sunrise photo, but I zoomed out to the widest setting I had so that the sun would appear lower in the sky, and the streaming clouds would reach up into the blue. I really like how this image came out!
