It was only about a minute later that the pastel sky and clouds turned a deeper blue.
I always try to remember to turn around when sky watching and as I did the moon was already shining high in the sky.
The next afternoon as I was driving to see my Stepdad for Father's Day I spied a doe and her fawn. I knew I was too far away to capture any award winning photo but I had to capture the moment anyway. Moments like this are why I love living in the country!

beautiful setting sun (and moon). and the deer just make me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful takes of sky and the deer are bonus's . Right.

ReplyDeleteSunsets change very quickly. You snooze you lose. I really like the color in the second photo
ReplyDeleteOh so wonderful - love the deer photo too. And the moon!
ReplyDeleteLovely soft sunset pics, and a terrific moon capture.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just LOVE when your hubby comes to tell you when there is a great picture opportunity? I do! I love that he has become involved in something I love, and he loves it, too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you took that deer picture, even though you don't think it's worth an award. They are beautiful just like you captured them!
Oh, what gorgeous moments you captured!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are superb Carletta, enjoyed the quote you added to the moon and the fawn shot was a beauty. It must be wonderful to live out in the country. I hope we can do that one day.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great day,

That one sky photo looks like angel wings in the clouds! Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeletePAT: I thought the same thing and was going to say something but people don't always see the same things. Glad you saw it too.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky shots, and glad you took a chance at capturing the deer photo!
