4. My dear MiddleFingerMom!
Why, thank you!

Hey, I just aim the camera, and maybe do a little fiddling with the color/contrast...

Mother Nature provides the inspiration!

7. I've never seen anything quite like that!!
The blue showing through all that glowing red (and red, is of course, far too simple a word for it) is astonishing.
I like the little cats eye lights near the bottom too.
Mother Nature may have made this, but you've got a terrific instinct for capturing it, CP. Thanks.

9. My dear Demoiselle!
Yeah, it was a lucky shot! We had been coming home from a musical recital at a nearby church, and I'd spotted it from the car.

And it was just getting better and better, and even though I had recently done a sunset pic, I knew I'd be sorry if I didn't get this one, and several others...

Thanks, sweetie...

I get lucky sometimes.

:D

13. I am a first time participant in the National Novel Writing Month.
Got to go a little solitary to get there good.
I'm supposed to be done come December 1st.
A first draft is my only goal for November outside of making a fantabulous Thanksgiving dinner.

27. I remember sunsets like that when I lived on the edge of Death Valley...
years ago. A lot of people(myself included) would gather with lawnchairs near sunset and watch the nightly event. It was pretty cool.

30. Red skies at night, Red skies at night, oh oh oh oh...
...nice, but if you see that in the morning, I'd pack some bottled water, clean clothes and provisions and get the "f" outta Dodge.

Don't you know I'd never see this in the morning?

I'm out of bed well after sunrise!

And I don't live in Dodge, either.........:P
