Well, I didn't exactly do nothing. In the last week I went to two SEC basketball games with my husband, a choir concert, and a friend's birthday party. I finally got to go to my liturgical prayer group, get back involved with the LGBTA, and even do a little curling. After months of doing nothing but school nonstop, I feel like such a hedonist. And I discovered that it feels pretty nice.
The only thing I'm missing in this sudden glut of Appalachian spring are the sunsets. Normally, we have simply amazing sunsets here in the evenings, full of blazing deep oranges and fuschia, but they haven't been living up to expectations recently. The afternoon clouds roll in like the tide and stifle the twilight sky. So, that naturally means I'm longing for some wide, open vistas with color. So, I thought I'd share the ones I keep sticking on my computer while I'm supposed to be working.
I'll start from north-central Wyoming, not terribly far from where some of my relatives live:
That's still not as deep as it looked from the top of this pasture. My dad and I were just speechless at how vibrant the pink clouds looked.
This is from Bosler as I approached Laramie from the North back in January. The sky had a nice, deep set of salmon and yellow to it:
Sometimes, even Bosler can be pretty. Both summer storm-clouds and twilight skies suit it admirably. A little farther down the road I stopped and snapped this one:
This one is from Laramie, about eight miles or so north of town. Yes, the color vibrance has been adjusted in this photo, but not as near as much as you'd think. That tiny purple streak along the very edge of the horizon wasn't showing up as well as I could see it with my eyes. I hope you enjoy!
