Day 65: Sunset/Heather

I asked if we could move sunset to tomorrow because I was meeting friends after work for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (yum!) and shopping. I was afraid I was going to lose track of time and miss the sunset. Plus, I wasn't sure how good of a shot I could get from a mall parking lot.

Ultimately, I promised Selina I would do my best to not lose track of time. And that is exactly what I did. My friends and I just happened to be passing the front door of Macy's at the right time for one of them to say "pretty sunset," at which point I gasped so loudly I scared them both. We were on the way to the cash register and I tossed my stack of clothes to one of them and ran out to take a couple of pictures, only giving them a brief explanation before bolting out of the store (luckily, they know about this so that was all that was needed!). I gave an explanation using full sentences when I returned to the store.

Day 65 - Sunset/Selina

I knew just where I wanted to go to get this picture.   I did get some good ones, but had Jeff pick out the one he liked best this time.  It's not necessarily my favorite one, but it's the one he liked best because of the composition.  I had a few other good ones though too, so I'll post those on my facebook page.

Day 41 - Over My Head/Selina

I tried a few different things to make this shot work.  I even wanted to take a picture of the huge rose bush on the side of the house, but I stepped on a thorn in the process.  Not good.  So, I came in the house for a bit and decided to try again later.  While watching tv with the family, I noticed that everything looked pink outside, so I went outside and so the pretty pink sky from the sunset.  Well, it's over my head, so I decided to try.   This is one of my favorite of those shots.
