As I was driving home tonight, I saw the most incredible fireball in the sky. My camera doesn’t really do it justice, but it was a sight- enough to make me pull over and get somewhere high up to capture it.
Given my mood once I saw this, I was reminded of how just one amazing sunset can sort of change your whole day. There are the sunsets you are prepared for, sitting out with loved ones with a beer or a blanket. Then there are the ones that take you totally by surprise, driving or walking down the road, coming out of a store or work or school, and bam- nature awes us once again.
Tonight was one of those humbled by Mother Nature experiences. In honor of the beautiful skies, the sun, and the world we live in, I give you a photo bomb of some I’ve tried my darnedest to photograph. We all know that a Canon Powershot cannot do justice to the skies, so cut me some slack and enjoy!

Cheesy as it may be, do you like sitting and watching the sunset? I think it might be the only activity I can sit still for for an extended amount of time without attention deficits. Where is the best sunset you’ve ever seen?
Here’s hoping your day is sunny side up, except on its way down 🙂
