Sunset


Had I ever truly seen a sunset before today?
















I have never done this before... but today I dedicate this series to my LoveLee... you know who you are.




It's not the destination....

It's the journey, right?

Today, I got in my car and drove... where was I going? No place in particular. In fact, the only thing I knew was I was going west. I thought about going all the way to Niagara Falls, and I would have, but I stopped and drove up this little country road and found a lighthouse and pier. I didn't think I was going to stay there for hours on end just enjoying the view and the warm air and the heavy breeze... but I did.



Needless to say, I took a lot of pictures while I was there.

And this one right here might be one of my favorites... but I think I am going to dig through them all and go all Monet on your asses...

Monet painted Rouen Cathedral over and over again because It was never the same twice. It was always different because of the changing light. Time of day, the weather, Monet's own emotions, all the little things that change over the day.

In the three hours I was sitting there at the pier, waiting for and watching the stunning sunset.... the every changing sky made me think of Monet...
I hope to bring you all a little series from today... Keep an eye out. *wink*
