Setting Sun

While we were on vacation, we were treated to the most glorious sunsets. 

The clouds were different every night. 

so, I got to play with my camera, figuring out how to best capture the beauty.  I'm no expert

but some nights were just breath taking,

especially when I could coax the boys into the picture. 

Then we got home.  The Midwest isn't Mexico, but boy, some evenings, the setting sun is still gorgeous.  Instead of an ocean, the sky reflects off a frozen lake, but the promise of warm water is taunting me, promising balmy times ahead.  Spring can't come soon enough.
