Sunset glow on Resa’s Tree 

As I walked out to where I could see the sunset last night, I photographed the trees in the afterglow. When I got out by Tiffany’s tree, I turned around to see a blazing sky lit up by clouds glowing like embers, their flames bursting into the heavens.

Below is a closer shot of the owl in Teagan’s Tree. The owl flying over us as we walked towards it on the ditch bank. The owl landed in a tree behind me along the ditch bank. Two closeups of the owl.

Pterodactyl (Great Blue Heron) perched on the Tangle-Heart Tree.

While I was out in the bosque at sunset, I saw two owls in a cottonwood, and a pterodactyl (Great Blue Heron) in the Tangle-Heart Tree. I also photographed cranes against a colored sky, and two ducks in the dark.

From left to right: Resa’s tree, Robin’s tree, unclaimed trees and Susan’s tree.

As Suzette was leaving after having black eyed peas for new year’s, she texted me that the clouds looked really cool behind the trees. I ran out and took photos. A third moon was hanging in the western sky.
