Location
My favorite times of day are sunset and sunrise. End of old and a new beginning showering glory across the sky of Gods incredible creation. For this reason I’m always stalking places to shoot for these two times of the day. Driving the countryside this particular day, I’m watching the sunset across the sky and pulled over to capture it. I ended up glancing over and seeing a couple of Western Salsify close by, then determined to take a shot of them as well. Loving how the warmth of the sunset silhouetted the Salsify, I lined it up with the sun behind it. Taking several shots of the perfection of them. Then embracing the imperfection of Nature’s natural way of starting another new beginning, I then framed the Salsify that’s falling apart in front of the warmth of the sun and took the shot.Time
