Spectacular Sunset

As mentioned in an earlier post, 

this year I have really been trying to appreciate the little

day-to-day things in my life.

You know, the things that we rarely take notice of.

The things that we take for granted.

Like the sunset.

Tonight as I walked over to pull my blinds closed,

I noticed this spectacular sunset. 

Normally, I would just stand

and appreciate it for the few moments it was there, 
not giving much thought to it at all.

But, my photography classes have given me a new appreciation

for the beauties around me.

Rarely a day goes by now 

that I don't notice the beautiful sky,

regardless of the weather.

I have come to appreciate gray, stormy days

just as much as the bright and sunny ones.

I've always been a sucker for sunsets.

Tonight's took my breath away.
Not a speck of editing in this photo, by the way.
This is 100% mother nature 
(and a very good camera lens.)

Enjoy!
