No Fishing!

We had some very pretty skies during a recent visit to our local park. As you may have guessed, we're home (not visiting the desert) for these shots. I happened to notice the skies before heading over to the park so I grabbed my DSLR with wide angle lens on the way out the door, and glad I did!

Here's my granddaughter riding her bike over the "no fishing" bridge, with my wife in the background. This man made cement "lake" is only a couple feet deep. The park stocks it with fish (catch and release only), and they don't want people fishing off the bridge.

A perfect spot to sit and watch the moon rise!


 Reflected sunset.

 My personal favorite from the evening.

I took this pretty shot of the moon nestled in the clouds after we got home from the park and I could grab my telephoto lens. Hope your week was a good one!

    It's enough to make me break down and buy a DSLR and some software - what gorgeous photos (especially the moon nestled in the clouds). But maybe I should master my iPhone SE first.

    The colors are amazing in your photos! My favorites include the moon rising over the park lake, the sunset reflection, and the telephoto moon capture. Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family have a joyful, blessed Thanksgiving. :)

    wow, taht´s a beautiful sky. Glad you took yoru camera :)

    Re your remark on the coyote: the coyote is not tame. As I saw it, it treated us the same way as the nearby bisons. It is used to bison, it is used to people. They were just passing by. Not in "huntingmood".
