Day 69

The weather today was crazy, and yes, that's the technical term, it was sunny one minute, then snowing so hard the next you couldn't see across the street, then sunny again, then windy, then snowing, sunny, cloudy, well you get the idea...crazy. So as I was heading home the sun was behind me and I could see in the rear view mirror it was about to go behind some clouds, I thought it might end up looking good and thought I would take a picture if I got to a place where I could stop. I found a spot and when I got a good look I was amazed, not only did the cloud look like it was glowing but the sky had turned every color it could, gray, blue, pink, orange, yellow I was shocked, because I thought back to just the other night and how completely different that sunset looked (day 66, Chasing the Sunset). By now you all know I am utterly fascinated by sunsets, and this one proves my point, this sunset was beautiful.

Usually I'm alone when I'm running around looking for photos, but lately at lunch or afterwork my brother is with me, we carpool to work so he's a captive in the car, I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm nuts because out of the blue I'll just stop the car and jump out. He always says "you're going to stop here?" or, "don't pull too far off the road, you'll get stuck!" My response to all this is always "nah, don't worry", and out I go. It's nice to have him there, he's always ready to hold the camera, or watch out for cars, or be ready to push the car out of the mud (which I haven't needed him to do yet) and it's also nice he's there to see what I'm seeing in person, then we look at the pictures on the camera together to see if anything came out, it makes it more fun when you can show someone else, even if it's your overprotective little brother.
