A Very Late Happy New Year

It's still January so I think it's not to late to say Happy New Year.

At the end of last year I was busy making jewelry to sell and holiday craft fairs.  The full time, work from home job I've been lucky enough to have for the last 8 years has changed to (very) part time so I've been focusing on trying to replace the income.  Holiday jewelry sales were good and I added some art to the table...somehow selling art felt so very personal.  

I've been looking for a new job but the going is slow.  And stressful.  So I am making a bigger effort than usual to enjoy the blessings I have.  As I always do at this time of year I enjoy watching the sunsets.  The picture above was taken looking out our kitchen.  

The picture below is from a park just down at the end of our street.  I watch the sky every evening and if it the conditions are right I can sneak away for 15 minutes of sky watching before I make dinner. I never get tired on taking pictures of sunsets.

I hope you are all enjoying 2015 so far.  I am looking forward to what lies ahead...I just wish I knew what it was!

Throw Back Thursday (but not the way you think!)

It's throw back Thursday but instead or posting picture of me when I was little, here are some sunset photos I took back in January.  Yes, sometimes it can take 3 months to organize 3 photos.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!
A little late but this is my first post of the year. 
At this time of year I love to take sunset pictures and here are a few from the end of last year.

 

 

This one if looking out my kitchen door.

 

There wasn't much of a sunset this evening but I turned around and saw an opening in the clouds that was all pink lit up.

Sunrise 2/15/12.  Taken by my friend Gus J. who rises early and watches the sunrise nearly every morning. 

 Taken with his phone (NOT an iPhone, he will have you know!!)

Sunset photos all taken by me using Canon EOS Rebel T3i

Oh, and by the way...I'll be doing another give away soon for followers of this blog...just in case you were on the fence... 

Sunrise and Sunsets - January 2012

I've become a little obsessed with sunset pictures recently.  Often one of my Facebook friends posts a picture of a beautiful sunset that I could not photograph and I try not to be jealous...unfortunately sunset time is often the most hectic time in my household...trying to start dinner and get the kids settled into doing homework, it's hard to sneak away.  Here is a collection of sunset pics (and one sunrise) that I was lucky enough to see in person and photograph.

Sunrise from my kitchen window, January 24.
