I sat editing some photos, cozy in my knock-off Uggs and layers of fleece. Out from his room burst my son. “Mom, he calls excitedly. You have 5 minutes until it’s gone”. He is holding my car keys and pulls back the curtain. The sky is blood red. He hands me the keys to the car and helps unplug my camera from the computer. It’s not the sunset that I smile about, but the boy who is so excited for me to capture it. Knowing all to well I may have already missed my photo opportunity, I am feeling proud and content. I only captured three photos before the color was gone. No worries though, the color in my life continues. Sand trap painted with light.Just seconds left...and then it was gone.

I love that tree at Lymans. Great shots, as always. I saw the same colors, different perspective, from my backyard last night as I was taking in the laundry. Thanks, as always, for sharing your views of the world :-)
