i took an impromptu walk tonight

i only worked a few hours today and the clouds started to look like something interesting might happen, so i headed out to one of the natural areas just down the road. still no killer sunset, but i got a few good shots. got sprinkled on a little bit, too.

finally caught one of these guys. they were making quite a racket tonight.



to the west







to the east





snuck a shot of these guys while their human was in the loo

Your rain clouds are especially spectacular. In fact, the second one of those two looks really dramatic with the outline of the mountain with the sun behind it. Well done!

Glad you had time to get out for a walk.

When taking sunset photos, it is good to look behind you to see what's happening. It paid off for you.

many evenings. That's one reason I remember to look east at sunset.
