I didn’t do any shopping today; as a rule, I never shop on Black Friday. It’s just too crazy in the stores, and there’s nothing I need that bad, to make it worthwhile, to put up with that chaos. I did, however, enjoy a beautiful sunset, and now it is my pleasure to share it with you.
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In it’s brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of achievement.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn.

I almost forgot I had these pics, waiting to get posted. I shot them about a month ago. I was outside taking macro shots of the water droplets on the cedar bushes in front of our big picture window, when I realized I was being watched. I looked up and saw two of my “furry children” peeking at me from between the blinds. These are our cats Jack and Earl, and I managed to snap a few “reflection” shots of them before they got bored with me and went to find something else to do; most likely another nap.

I woke up early this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. It worked out ok though because I went out and got some nice shots of the sunrise.
I had to take a different route to work the other day and I got a few nice pics along the way. This is Highway 101 between Fence and Florence.
Just a few shots of the sky at sunset during my break at work.
We finally got to see the sun again this week, but only briefly. It started out sunny on Wednesday and I took these shots on my way in to work, but as you can see from the pics, by the time I got to Iron Mountain, it was quite cloudy again. Actually, it has been ever since. We had rain on Thursday and part of Friday and we had snow a little while ago this morning.
I shot these pics on my way to work the other day. The tamaracks here are just gorgeous. I love the way they look against the evergreens.

I took this shot yesterday on my break. The sunset got mucher prettier after this, but I was unable to get another shot as I was back on the job by then. I could see it through the windows though.
Yesterday I had to go back to town in the late afternoon and on my way I saw this sundog. Of course I had my Rebel along, so I pulled over and took a shot, but I found that the sundog barely showed up at all so I took some HDR shots instead. After processing them I found that the sundog stood out much more.
