Recipe for a Sunset

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
― Rabindranath Tagore

The weekend has seen a combination of rain, thunder, lightning, hail, sleet and then finally snow before it cleared up just in time for those beautiful sunsets that I thought would never be seen again! It’s true that the perfect sunset is the combination of the reflection of a day of rain (or in our case, three days!), a sprinkling of clouds and a handful of rays.

Stir it up with a camera and add a little hanging out of an upstairs window et voila – you have the most fantastic ending to a Sunday! The colours captured remind me of Summer, I can’t wait until the weather improves and I properly venture out with the camera once more.

I also grabbed a few minutes to photograph the biggest and most beautiful roses I’ve ever seen. It was tricky, the light was poor and the roses weren’t co-operating, but the results are passable at least!
