The sunset from Double Ditch on Friday night actually wasn’t very remarkable. As my family and I prepared to leave, however, we caught a hint of pink in the clouds to the east. The sun was up to something on the horizon, past the clouds that were obscuring our view! I turned north instead of south, to see if we could get a good view, when I noticed this sunset on the western horizon.

These are bluffs just north of Double ditch, with a little bit of a stack from Center to give perspective. I saw the color start to develop just over the horizon, set the tripod and got the camera ready, and then the deep, brilliant reds began to show. We took PJ out for his first sunset with mommy and daddy Friday night, and the skies did not disappoint us! We just had to work a little harder to see it.
