The Sunset and Moonrise

In the backyard we could see the brilliant glow.  So, to the front, we ran for the show.

Sunset

Our neighbor's driveway has the best sunset viewing spot.  They don't seem to mind the crazy lady standing in their driveway (often) (and with a camera).

Sunset

But seriously, watching the sun slip away is one of my favorite parts of the day.  A blazing reminder of the gift of each day; the beauty of it; the brevity of it; the complete and perfect plan of each day.

Meanwhile, the view in the backyard.

Moonrise

We spent the evening running and playing in our little backyard oasis, until complete darkness had fallen.  We tucked in our little guys thankful for each moment in that perfectly planned and ordained day, under the perfectly planned heavens.

Linking up with Beth's You Capture: Sky.

Beautiful!! I need to find a good sunset photography spot - it's too hilly around my house.
