Fall Bucket List 2013 ~ Project 52 Week 34

I captured this sunset the other evening.  We don’t often get colorful sunsets here- partly because there are less dust particles in the atmosphere (which explains why we had such amazing sunsets in the desert nearly every night) so when they happen I do run out to get a couple snaps.  I do love the view from our back yard- I love seeing the silhouettes of the pine trees.  I longed for trees for all those years we lived in the desert- it’s such a welcome & amazing sight.

I was able to capture the Blue Moon last week.  I don’t capture the moon as often as I used to.  The hubs asked me why I used to run out every night to capture it & now I will pass on it more often than not.  Well- I started thinking about it.  I think it’s because I have so many other things to capture here.  When we lived in the desert- there were only so many pictures I could take of sand & sand & well….more sand.  I welcomed capturing other things- like the moon.  So I did it quite a bit.  Now – I have SO MANY pretty things all around me.  I never yearn for something new to capture.  It’s such a blessing & I am not taking it for granted.  (Last Blue Moon images September of 2012 HERE & past super moon & lunar eclipse images HERE )  These pale in comparison to my images last year of the Lunar Eclipse- those & one super brilliant partial moon really are my best work to date on the moon.  Sometimes it’s just not as clear & other times you can really get some awesome shots.
