First of the Month - Sunset on Willard Bay

The 1st of May shows off peach blossoms while the sun casts off pink hues over Willard Bay. It's been a cold, wet Spring, so the blossoms have come out later. None-the-less, it's beautiful!

This was the first night I was able to get out and get a decent picture of the orchard and Willard Bay. I love the subtle pink hues the sun is throughing off into the clouds. The grapes and trees have all been pruned and are just beginning to bud. It won't be long until we see green everywhere!

It's 5:50 p.m. and the sun is going down behind some clouds. It looks like I won't be getting a colorful sunset tonight. The grape vines are anxiously waiting a pruning job.

On Kelley's blog there is an invitation to participate in First of the Month. The object is to take a picture of the same scene, at the First of the Month, for an entire year. I'm not sure how to participate having a private blog, so I will just place it in my Photo Journal and enjoy it myself!

It was 5:30 p.m., and I took my camera out to my favorite spot in the orchard. It's here that I can capture the entire feel of the orchard, grapevines, life on the farm, and the peaceful setting of the sun on Willard Bay. It always takes my breath away. I can't believe I live in such a beautiful place! I am so excited to shoot this same scene eleven more times throughout the year! (Note: The sun was just setting when I went out to take this picture. By the time I got to my "shooting spot", the sun had dissapeared behind a cloud, making the picture a little dark. Hopefully, I will get a better shot next month.)
