Sunsets, sunsets

More sunsets.  They have just been too cool.  I usually just have time to run out to the backyard really quick and get a shot.  I should plan my time better to be in a really cool spot without telephone lines and houses in the picture. 

Anyway, boring, but here are some more.

More Sunsets

I know that these aren’t great photos in a lot of ways but, once again, I love sunsets and we have had some very pretty ones.  I just missed the sun setting but was able to rush in when we got home and grab my camera.  I think I actually left Austin strapped in his car seat because I wanted a picture.  A few minutes later, when I kept asking him to come in, I remembered that he was “stuck” in the car.  Oops!

Anyway, I just thought that the colors were great.  I know there’s a telephone pole and lines in all of these pics, but that’s just the way it is!

More Clouds

I love sunsets and clouds.  These are from a while ago, shortly after we moved into our new house.  We’ve had more brilliant sunsets but I love the way the light reflects off the clouds, illuminating and tinting them, giving them more dimension and life.  I wish I’d had my camera tonight as I was driving into the large, red and orange sun on the horizon.

One of my favorite flower pics from Colómbia


This is a Bird of Paradise. They have always fascinated me, ever since I first saw them when I lived in Peru.

Payson Canyon, Payson Lakes

We went to our yearly family reunion a couple of weeks ago.  It is so beautiful up there! 

Friday morning, we went on a little hike on the Grotto Trail.  It was nice and easy and very beautiful with a cool waterfall at the end.  I’m not much of a hiker but I really enjoyed it!  I kept falling behind because couldn’t stop taking pictures!

Flower Power

These are from around the yard and garden of my parents’ house.  There were beautiful flowers everywhere this last week.  I love being there!
