The Best Thing We See Today

Good Friday Afternoon!

The unofficial slogan of this operation has always been “the best thing we see today”. I’ve joked for years that I’m a poor landscape photographer - I don’t have the patience to sit in one place for hours, waiting on the light. Maybe someday.

But it does mean trying to be ready to capture something at a moments notice - and sometimes the best thing isn’t in some far-off locale, or vacation destination.

This sunset scene happened right off my front porch, this image taken from the end of my driveway. The day had been stormy all day, and we had been hiding inside, listening to the rain on the windows. Near dark, it stopped raining, and for a while it all looked just ominous - but then, right at sunset, the clouds started to break up - and this. The glow on the wet street, entire palette of colors in the sky.

The best thing we see today.

Hope folks have a great weekend.
