Yesterday's Sunset

I just had to share these wonderful images from yesterday's sunset. It was really rose and purple, even though it looks somewhat surreal! The above and below photos were taken with our neighbor's horse corral in the foreground. If you look closely at the image below, you can see Patches, the painted pony (look for the patches of white).
I turned from taking the sunset photos and saw almost the exact opposite effect in the sky toward the north. The sunset over the San Pedro Mountains looks almost pastel by comparison. Same sunset, same time, very different results!

Enjoy!

Glorious Sunset!

Check out the great sunset we had the other evening. All of these photos are of the same sunset - you can actually see how the clouds are very similar if not the same in some of the photos.
Wouldn't the above photo make a great bookmark? I really like the glow of the sun on the clouds on the left side of the photo.

These two photos (above and below) are the first photos that I have of Jazz, our friends' new horse. She's a mare, about 4-5 years old. She's very shy and not fully trustful of people yet. Our friends believe that at some point in her life she was either mistreated or just trained rather roughly. She is very pretty, and is slowly coming around, and it will be nice when that happens.

The last photo (below) is a great one of the sky, isn't it? It's one of the major reasons why I love living here so much!

Enjoy!

Winter Morning Walk





Woke up this morning to some snowy dusting around the airpark. I went for a morning walk with Miki, our German Shepherd, and took these photos during our walk. The top photo is of a friend's horses and barn at the end of our little airpark. I just loved the snow on the fence, and the moody feel of the image.
The second image is of an house that we originally looked at to buy. I certainly love our house, and wouldn't trade it for this one, but the snow does look nice on top of the adobe fence and archway into the front yard of this house.
The third image is one that I took as Miki and I walked along side the runway looking north. It, too, is just such a moody image I just loved it on this winter morning. It's kind of rare to see this sort of moody weather here. We mainly have sunshine and blue skies, so an occasional overcast day is a nice change-up.
Hope you all enjoy your day, whatever the weather is in your neck of the woods !
