Sunset on the last day of 2009

I've finally scrounged a few minutes to get the most recent pictures off my camera. They were of the sunset on New Year's Eve - a particularly pretty one and a great way to end the year.

This I love for the beautiful colors and again the clouds.


Hope the new year is finding everyone well!
Happy Blogging!

I neglect my blog for six monthsish and I have more followers! Hello to all you new people, my apologies for not being more interesting. I hope you have enjoyed perusing the archives. I have a new camera and I love it. It's a nice mid-range, user-friendly little guy and best of all... it zooooooooooooooms... It's a Canon SX-30, with a 30x optical zoom. Did I mention it zooms? Here are a couple of my favorite photos so far: This a burrowing owl that lives near my parents house in Nevada. The little family lives in an empty lot across the street and for awhile we were worried that some construction in one of the houses that bordered it had scared them away, but nope, there's the proof. If you have never met a burrowing owl, I recommend it. They are fun to watch; I especially enjoy watching the flying dust when it's time to clean out the den. Or, if you aren't paying attention and happen upon one by accident, the fluffed feathers and hissing are rather spectacu...
