Facing West:
It seems to me that sunsets look much better in person than in photos, but I braved the cold to capture these, so I want to use them. We were at my parents' 6/16. They live in a community where you have to be at least 55 to live there. There are town homes, apartments, and single family homes.

While I was out taking pics, a lady walked by with her dog, and thought I was taking pictures of the full moon, which I was not able to see from where I was. I took the next one from our truck on the way home, and the last one was the best I could get without a tripod. I have several pics of part of the moon, as the whole camera would move even when I was leaning on the fence to try to hold still.
Happy Skywatch Friday. Visit the SkyWatch Friday site to see the huge list of skies from all over the world.
Wow the moon is bright & love the shot through the branches

I love the way that there's colour in the sky in every direction.
ReplyDeleteA very nice photo series. The colors are beautiful. And the last moon shot is wonderful.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everyone. I either left comments on yours, so you came to mine, or else you came here first, and I think I've visited all your blogs. I think there was one who didn't have a blog I could get to.
ReplyDeleteGunilla, Thanks for the information. I didn't know that.

Great photos, Sue! The sunset photos are beautiful, but the moon shot is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI scrolled down and happened to see your Wordless Wednesday pics--perfect! That's the best welcome anyone could get:)
Thanks Rose,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting your blog, too. The days are getting longer! I hope winter weather doesn't stay around in spring like it has the last couple years.
I just love sunset pictures, thanks for sharing yours! I did notice the days getting longer today. It was ten till 6 and cloudy, yet it was a bit light out. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I am really amazed by your photos... the moon is absolutely stunning!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteSue, great pictures! I'm going to visit the Skywatch Friday site next-sounds very interesting.

ReplyDeleteYou really caught a good one and rounded it LOL off so well with the moon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. Sometimes it is hard to tell a sunrise from a sunset. I really enjoyed all the pictures. The dark buildings really bring out that wonderful sunset. I liked all your whole series and the full moon is great.
ReplyDeleteSue
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos.
That is so spectacular. Pretty funny that you didn't know the moon was screaming for a photo too.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love those pictures. I always am drawn to sunset pictures. As you watch...the colors change so fast. That moon through the branches is great.
