Scenic Sundays: Outside the Back Door....

We don't live in a remarkable or spectacular scenic area...we are surrounded on four sides by farm fields, there are six houses in the whole mile, and the fields in the winter are either white or mud, depending, or as shown here in early spring, a combination of both. (Of course, in the spring, summer and fall, I think the farmer who farms all the land around us does the best job at providing beautiful scenery: my favorite crop to be surrounded by is corn!)

But, to make up for the lack of geographical scenery that some of you enjoy, we do live in a place that sits in the wide open, there is a big sky, and the sunrises and the sunsets are easily seen and some not to be missed. (At night, a lot of stars are seen due to the lack of outdoor lighting. One of our favorite things to do is have a campfire, and sit around it and stargaze.)

For now, just enjoy an early spring sunset with me!

I looked out one evening week before last, and I literally sucked in my breath at the sight of this sunset and made a mad dash for the camera, because opportunities like this one are lost in one single minute, as any of you would know who have photographed sunsets. This was a particularly brilliant one and I hope you enjoy scenery from my backdoor today!
