This evening I went for a walk hoping to find something to photograph, but as the light was fading I didn’t really have much hope. I stopped at the bridge where a little stream runs under the road and nearly didn’t see the family of swans; two parents and three or four half grown signets. Lovely! I tried to take some photos, but there were too many branches in the way. Wanting to walk a little farther, I turned off the road to walk up past the fields where its peaceful and safer (I was nearly hit by a car crossing the road because I didn’t look right until I stepped into the road – escape from death number…can’t count that high!). It didn’t actually occur to me to look at the setting sun until I’d taken some pictures of a dead looking field and noticed steaks of light on the clouds. It was then I turned around and saw the sun setting behind me. I walked up farther to where I could get a clear view and took some lovely photos of the sun setting over Stamford. I nearly missed seeing the sun itself…I roll my eyes at myself…but then I saw it peeping out from under the low cloud and I hurried back to take some more photos and admire the view. Here are some of my favorite shots…
