The Setting Sun
When I read that this week’s You Capture Challenge was Sunrise/Sunsets, I chuckled.
I chuckled because I try not to make it a habit of being awake early enough to watch the sun rise.
So, with one strike against me because of my inability to function at O Dark Thirty, I would do my best to shoot the sun as it set.
Here’s what I came up with this week….
I shot this picture as I was dropping Alex off at pre-school one morning. I don’t think it was a sunrise because it was almost 9am, but I knew my chances of capturing the sun this week would be slim, so I captured it!
I shot this one from my back deck one evening. I was thrilled with the colors. Around 5pm every evening, this is the scene that we see. God’s handiwork is amazing. [McDaddy, I know you hate the arbitrary use of the word amazing, but in this case, I think it is fitting!]
I took this picture in May when McDaddy was deployed at Guantanamo Bay. Since I didn’t have very many sun pictures this week, I wanted to include this one. It is one of my favorite pictures from our time in Cuba. It was as if God smiled down on us as we stood on Glass Beach.
Kinda makes me wish I was at the beach.
Enjoy your Thursday, y’all!
Be sure to visit I Should Be Folding Laundry for more sunrise/sunset pictures.

I love the picture that you took in Guantanamo. Not only is it a good picture, but it gives me a glimpse into the area. My hubby is heading there in January.

I really love the light in the first picture. Good job overcoming the difficulties of finding sunrise/sunset photos.
Great captures! I used an old shot too-too pretty to not include! Just like your Guantanamo Bay shot.
The last one is great!

Yeah, I don’t think McDaddy would have a problem with you using “amazing.”
Beautiful shots! I especially love your last photo. Gorgeous!!
So very pretty! I just love how the sunset lights up the blues in the sky!
