An Early Autumn Sunset

Photographing sunsets has been a long time interest of mine although I haven't been out for quite some time I did have the pleasure of going out of town for several sunset shots after watching the ducks at the marsh area south of town.
                                The suttle  beginning of the sunset this beautiful
                                 September the 3rd, 2015
                                Above this narrow band of color the sky
                                had a heavy overcast layer
                                It really did not look like there would be much color happening
                                These much hated weeds looked rather interesting, I may as
                                well have fun while I am out here right?
                                The warm weather, whispy clouds were very pretty above the
                                 heavy band of cloud
                                A quiet time, nice to sit and realize what a nice day I have had
                                Young Poplar trees and weeds on the edge of the farmer's field
                                Oh Look! The sun is bursting through below the band of cloud!
                                       Burning through the weeds, getting a bit more intense
                                Then it just got a bit boring so we decided to go back to town
                                About half way back to town the sky
                                 suddenly burst into some awesome color
                                Drove around to the park road as it was getting very colorful
                                     Wow! It cant get better than this, can it?
                                                             Oh, I love it!
                           The ending of a beautiful day with the promise of a great tomorrow
                                                 May your nights be filled with happy dreams
                                                 and your days be filled with many blessings

Wandering Down The Trails

Is Summertime Over?

    Summertime offers us ultimate freedom and pleasures so I never cease to feel sad the first day of September because it makes me realize time is going by too quickly; We are entering the beginning of autumn, the season I love the best.
   Summer is ending but the cycle of nature must continue, therefore autumn makes it's way into our life and here I find  some of the greatest joys in my life, the wonderment of nature's most colorful palette of reds, greens, orange,yellows and so much more.   This time when all the leaves and other foliage ripens and falls to the forest floor to decay and the decaying of the vegetation will restock the soil with nutrients and will hold moisture to feed the new growth in the spring.
    Nature's way is good!
