Evolution of a Sunset

No Wednesday Wings this week, but I wanted to share a recent sunset with you. I'm so happy to see the gorgeous sunsets and cloud formations here in southern Utah again! I can't tell you how much I appreciate them. Not only that, but I also have an addiction to photographing the skies here. I haven't done much landscape photography, but something about the clouds and cliffs here compels me to keep trying to capture them through my lens. This sunset was last Sunday. I was outside a little early for it, but was fascinated by the clouds. I had a feeling there might be a good sunset, and didn't want to miss it. So, this is the evolution of that sunset. From start to finish, it was only 26 minutes - some of the most dramatic color changes were only three minutes apart. Mother Nature paints really fast:-) Hope you enjoy!

Poppies, Poppies, Poppies!

Yup, three recent photos of California Poppies:-)

"Sunny Side Up!" Love the sheen on poppies when the sun hits.

"It Takes Two..." These were growing out of a steep hill hence side view.

"Sunny Side Up!" Even on a cloudy day, California Poppies are neon-bright!

Short and Sweet

I'm going to draw tonight, so I'm just posting one of my new favorite flower photos:-) In fact, I've already added it to our shop, I like it that much! I love the translucent quality of the California Poppy, and that vibrant, cheerful orange.
