314/365: “When you go home, Tell them of us, and say, For your tomorrow, We gave our today.”~ Patrick O'Donnell
3 more pictures and a note above ! :)
Today Steve and I went out for a special sushi lunch at our favorite Japanese restaurant and as we ate, I told Steve about Remembrance Day and how it related to my poppy picture from yesterday. I told him the wonderful things that people wrote and how I changed my quote and whole direction of my post and all that I had learned. It really is amazing how enlightened I have become because of my interest in photography and all of the friends I've met first on Flickr and now on ipernity. My life has been so enriched and I am ever thankful and happy for the opportunity to grow in so many ways. *hugs all around*
After lunch we went to see Ender's Game (mixed reviews, but I liked it overall). and as we were driving home, we saw the sun sink lower and lower and become prettier and prettier. When I got home, I grabbed my camera and the 17-40mm wide angle, and we zoomed back down the road where we thought the sunset might look extra special. We stood there enjoying the lovely day's end and taking pictures, and I also thought about how lucky I am to be free.
When we got home, the sun had set, but as I continued to glance out the window, the colors suddenly got brighter and brighter, with hot pinks and oranges, red and yellow, against the darkening blue sky. I opened the window in the downstairs bathroom, stuck the camera out, aimed and fired! This is that picture! I took several more, and I also went outside, but this was the peak of brilliance and I was lucky enough to get the picture! It might just be my favorite sunset I've captured yet, hooray!! :)
