Sunset Sunday

High in the mountains, we found a campsite where we had amazing sunset light and wonderful wildflowers.


Shyla and I would play in the flowers at sunset, with her attention sometimes wandering to the deer who were in the forest right by our campsite in the evening. Here was a beautiful buck with the sunset light behind his velvet antlers.

After the sun's descent toward the horizon, it would set exactly at the bottom of a "V" in the mountains.

It would sometimes give a beautiful display of color when the clouds were aligned just right.
I have two criteria for an awesome campsite - morning sun so that it warms up quickly and sunset light for photography. This campsite had both!!!! It's a winner so we'll be back there again for sure!

  1. Summertime, and is that snow still lingering there? Maybe you are so high that it always has a few patches. Superb sky colours.
