beautiful evening sky

The other evening as we were driving to dinner, the cloud-filled sky was especially beautiful. I grabbed a shot with my cell phone and thought, I bet there will be a spectacular sunset tonight.

Valley Farm Market

As we were driving back home the sun began to set, flooding the sky with gold and pink. I tried to get a shot of it each time I was at a stoplight, but the camera on my cell phone wasn’t up to the task of capturing those colors. I did get the above shot of this neighborhood market that I quite liked.

When we got home, Annalie and I raced inside, grabbed the Nikon, and walked down our street for a better view. The colors were already starting to fade by then, but it was still gorgeous.

    Lovely. I do love nice colourful sunsets.

  5. Those are beautiful shots! I often find myself in that same predicament… the scenery is beautiful out the car window, but my cell doesn’t capture it to truly illustrate the beauty!
