Living all my life in Tornado Alley, I’m fascinated by the weather and photographing it.

Apollo and the MLK 2014 Sunset

It’s been ages since I posted a sunset photo.  The wind really picked up yesterday just as the sun set on a gorgeous day:

Of course, when I stepped outside into the backyard to take the photos, Apollo just had to join me.  He had a hard time standing still for his portrait, but this one turned out well:

It was a very busy three day weekend.  We made great progress on our remodeling project.  The weather was so nice I was able to walk both dogs without wearing a jacket and we grilled out Sunday afternoon.

Hope all of you had a great weekend as well.
