SkyWatch ~ Yet Another Sunset


Time to see what the sky is doing and what better way to try
out my new camera. Here are some of the first ten shots I took.


I just went outside to shoot at anything and the sky decided
to put on quite a little show for me.


The clouds changed their character virtually in moments,
creating an unexpected softness,


only to blush a deeper red the next instant.



Hope you all can enjoy whatever the heavens bring your way
and share it with the rest of us on SkyWatch Friday!
