I’ve been kicking myself for not going out and trying to take moonlight on snow photos last night… it was absolutely, brilliantly, gorgeous! So when I headed to work this morning, I had my camera in hand, hoping to catch a shot of the moon on her lustrous way down…
and I did!
This is the time of year that if you’re a fan of blues, and purples, and pinks… you’re Happy.
So I continue down the road, berating myself for not leaving earlier and having time to stop to take photos with purpose and deliberation… when I drive past a neighbor’s corral. There stood a paint horse on top of the corral fence! I did a double take, and realized he was actually standing on top of a dirt pile in the corral, and driving by at 60 mph, he sure had the optical illusion he was standing on a fence rail! I laughed and was sad to realize I really didn’t have time to turn around and try to go back for the shot… I was late due to moonset already!
This evening we watched a large cloud stack itself against the southern sky… and light up with the sunset’s reflection.
I just had to zoom in a bit… just in case I ever want to paint this!
I’d say that’s a pretty great way to start and end your day… Moonset and Sunset!
Find me here!
Wonderful colours in both photos.
Clouds are my favorite.
Too bad you didn’t have time for a photo of the paint horse! Wouldn’t they forgive you if you were a tiny bit late for that, especially if there was a print for the fund raiser? Or do you open the library?
I open the library! Bound to be someone waiting if I’m late…
Clouds are almost surreal…so gorgeous!
That cloud picture is amazing!
