Thankful Thursdays: Appreciating what is before you!

As I turned down the dirt road toward home, the sun was setting, another end to the work day. Suddenly the colors started forming, the oranges, the reds, the yellows and as I tried to find a place to park, fumble to get the camera out of its case, I knew my window of photo oppportunity was f-a-d-i-n-g f-a-s-t!

I just pulled over to the side of the road and started taking pictures from the driver window and was able to get the end of a magnificent sunset!

Wanda,

Your efforts were worth it! Very nice sunsets. I've seen many while driving; however, by the time I was able to safely pull of the road it was too late! You were lucky and you did good!

Here's to many more beautiful sunsets!

I'm sure the camera did not capture the full beauty of that sunset.  But it's pretty close. Thanks

Gorgeous photo, Wanda. I’ve gotten myself into the habit of carrying my camera with me for such spontaneous (and fleeting) moments.

The words that comes to mind are brilliant and astonishing.  With prayers and thanks to the Creator of it all.  I think I will take my camera and go find a sunset.  :)

I can’t agree with you. Just because the sun sets doesn’t mean it’s the end of a work day. The sun setting is simply part of what Mother and Father Nature do during their work day. Don’t let them influence your work day! J

Russel. It was the end of my workday re: real estate agent and the beginning of wife and mother, the time change does make the day shorter!

True Chris, It takes Eyes Wide Open to appreciate the beauty around us!

I had to chuckle Wanda as I pictured you grabbing your camera for your drive by shooting.  I've taken many out the window too lol.

Cal, Thank you and am glad to share!

Gloria, Such beauty is to be appreciated when we are presented with the opportunity! 

Jenny, I took 7 photos, one of the road, a couple off kilter, two were washed out...I got a good one of the side mirror! This was a lucky shot for sure!
