Unfiltered

There are times when you see a picture and you wonder - exactly how much filtering or photoshopping was done to get that color?

Then there are moments where you just hope the camera will even come close to capturing the colors you see right now.

Tammy grabbed the camera to capture some vivid colors during Sunday night's sunset.  If you want the full effect - click on the image and you can see a larger version of the picture.  These ARE the colors we were seeing.

Mother Earth still has plenty of tricks up her sleeve and wondrous things she hopes we will appreciate.  Let's take the time to care for her and perhaps we can continue to reap the rewards of golden sunsets and purple clouds over waters with electric blue waves.

Or perhaps you would rather see a deep, dark blue green in the background as the waves crash and show off a little icy blue in the middle of the white foam?  

Once again, we wonder if the camera will capture the colors that are actually a bit better in person than they ever will be captured in a still shot.  And, why would I try to enhance these colors with a photo editing program anyway?  These are pretty much what we were seeing.  It really is that ....  bold.

We will also happily report that it is pleasant to walk through a tree tunnel on a path where there are no other humans at that moment in time.  But, there were some birds and dragonflies  - which made both farmers happy.

You all know how hard it is to make a farmer happy, I am guessing.  So, we'll just call it a good thing.  And, the next time the farmers try to tell you that they don't know what happy is - just tell them to think about purple sunsets lined with gold.
