The best sunset I saw on my last camping trip.

Summer evening sky, a study
When it’s too hot to take pictures during the day, wait until the sun goes down, and point your camera up.
Early sunsets
The sun is dropping out of the sky way too early these days. I took these pictures of the sun setting over Lake Monona about 4:30 in the afternoon the other day.
Sun dogs
While out hiking this afternoon, I spotted some sun dogs in the cirrus clouds moving across the sky.
The sky at dusk
When I was camping last week, I wasn’t on the right side of the lake for watching the sun set. But the sky still offered some beautiful scenes during that time of day.
Reaching for the sun
Some trees always seem to be reaching higher. Over the years they continue to strive for heights not yet attained. They wait patiently through cold winters, and resume their hard work again in spring — always keeping their focus on that goal of growing bigger.
The next time I think giving up would be easy but not the best choice, I?m going to remember this tree.
Sunset skyline
I believe this is the first time I’ve ever taken pictures of a sunset during the winter. I guess the lesson is, you’re not going to get good photos if you don’t get out there.
Sun dog
I first noticed this because of the interesting cloud formation — it went on like that for miles. Then when I looked a bit closer, there was the sun dog.
Wooded sunset
Oak tree at dusk
A few days ago I was out hiking late in the afternoon. Heading back to my car as the sun was going down, I passed this bare oak tree. When I looked up, I was struck by the silhouette of its crooked branches against the darkening sky.
Funny how a casual glance up on the way home, can turn into the best sight of the afternoon.
