Sunset silhouette

I happened to have my camera with me last evening.  I will admit to chasing sunrises and sunsets when I see them.

This fortunate capture was taken from the parking lot at The Urbandale Country Club.  I was drawn to the sun going down and a Robin just happened to be in the picture adding to the effect.

Interesting sunset last night

Sun sight

Captured this last evening.  I was interested in the sunset but the sun was pretty bright.  I happened to see this branch in front of me kind of "sighting" the sun.

Sunset a few evenings ago

I'm always glad when I remember my camera.  This was just a drive into Johnston but I was treated to this beautiful sight...

Sunset from my mother's yard

Contrails at sunset

Interesting sky tonight with contrails (jet trails)...

Interesting sunset this evening

I can tell if we have an interesting sunset by looking at the sun on the trees out our back window (looking east).  This is what I saw tonight...

The Des Moines Register.com and WHO Channel 13 picked up one of my photos

I also post pictures to Instagram and include the hashtag #IA365 for a chance to get re-posted by the DM Register on their Instagram feed.  That also means you could get posted on their website and possibly used by Channel 13 weather.  Well that happened today.

My post of a sunset got re-posted by the Register and the Register started following my Instagram account.  Then at the 4pm newscast, my photo was used and name mentioned.  Ruth saw it on TV and is my witness.  It's a nice photo but I feel I got noticed for my caption "Thankful for sunsets".
Here is a screen grab of the re-post.  As of this posting, I had 78 "likes" (the currency of such things).

Beautiful sunset tonight

The pictures don't quite capture how amazing the sky looked but here is a sense...

Interesting clouds last night
