A quick view of sunset from my driveway, and the local pond; for real color fun!

When I stepped out of my door, I was bombarded by stunning colors, so I thought I would share the fun with you.

This is the view that met me when I stepped outside. Try real hard you can see My Land Rover in the lower left!

Seeing the colors, I drove over to the local pond for some more pictures.

As you can see, I wasn't disappointed!

A real mix of colors, and nice reflections too

Cattail seeds anyone? :)

Fire in the sky to the West:

The reflections were really nice here.

So I decided to take one with Just the reflected view:

The water was smooth and I got a good picture. Then I noticed that the sun was Not reflecting in this picture, so I raised the camera slightly, and took this:

So I can see the sun on the top, but not in the reflection! Can anyone tell me why?

The wind came up a little, and the reflection got interesting with the ripples cutting up the view slightly.

Finally, I found a Christmas tree on the shore, I may decorate it later.

No power for lights, but I may try anyway.

Nice little spot close to home. I love sunsets...Nature's free show...

I am continually amazed at the breath of color shown to us in sunsets! I really like this little pond, it is my quiet place....

The first picture is from my driveway, it really caught my eye!

So good to have a place to go, reflect, contemplate...I think it's important to find some quiet time to block out societies noise.

It is an oasis for sure. Quietest place in town, because the buildings block the traffic noise....

Keep that place to yourself! Tell anyone and they'll all be there!

Oh No, I told You, so there goes the neighborhood....

But I didn't tell you Where it is, ROFLOL!

It is a special place to go to recharge.

I think if I turned up unannounced I might be in for some attention I'd rather not have...Say no more.

Your secret is safe with me.

Come on down! We can start at the range, you can show me how to shoot....
