Burst of Color

One of the things I love about orchids are their vibrant colors.  They're so intricate and perfect.  When mine bloom I feel it is such a gift and I enjoy them so much.  These weren't mine, I saw them at someone's home but couldn't resist to capture them for myself :o)

Skywatch Friday - Sunset Close Up 2


More from a few nights ago.  I was so pleasantly surprised by the bottom shot when I saw that I had captured a couple birds. It's photos like that, that make me race home to see what I got...what a thrill :o)

Sunset Close Up

Thanks to my blog buddies for welcoming me back!  It's good to have something fun to do at the end of the day again...hope I can maintain :o)

Got out of work a little early tonight so I headed to one of my high spots to catch sunsets and waited it out.  Funny thing, when I got there, there were 6 green parrots on the ledge...they walked along and then totally took over my corner...before strolling back down the wall and then flying away...was kinda cool.  I got some pics and a video.  I'll post them another day.

The sky wasn't as dramatic tonight as some other nights...so I zoomed in to catch the little drama there was. I love the contrast...the dark clouds against the firey colors.

Blue Sunset

Hi there to anyone still checking in on my site :o)  I've been away so long I hesitate to post because I know it'll be difficult to post regularly...so I just took the "daily" out of the title and posted anyway. 

This one was taken from the building I work in...of course.  But what a surprise!  It was so dark and the sky so varied that I got a lot of items out of focus or the exposure was too much or too little.  But like the little bear said...this one was just right :o)

I love the blue captured in the sky and cast on the buildings...cool.  Hope you enjoy it and I hope to be posting again soon!
