I do love Arkansas sunsets! When they are quite colorful, there's usually a weather change ahead. It hasn't stormed or poured down rain for almost a week, so we're due for another round in the next few days, I suspect. In any event, I've finally learned to carry my camera with me all the time, just in case there is a pretty su
nset. I walked out of church Wednesday evening to see such a sky. Since I didn't have time to make it to my favorite spot at my daughter's hilltop home before the sun disappeared , I drove to the nearest place to the church where I would have an open view of the western sky.

Pat,
Wow! And over 50 comments already! The consensus seems to be that the darker picture is the better one, but the lighter one is actually my favorite. (I don't know art, but I know what I like!)
Is it all right if I post that photo on my blog? I would give you credit for taking it, oof course. Let me know.
Keep your camera at the ready! And congratulations!
