Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: evening sun

I'm usually home in the evenings, but a few days ago, I stayed out longer than usual. I bumped into Flickr friend, Ron, just as I was on my way home after driving some of the side roads south of the city. I followed him back to an area where we had both seen a Great Gray Owl recently and, to our delight, we got the chance to see and photograph him/her again. When I was on my way headed home a second time, I passed two of these beautiful Wilson's Snipes, posing perfectly on fence posts : ) I saw how amazing the evening light can be - this photo is much nicer than any of my previous Snipe photos, taken in ordinary daylight. Taken from my car window : )

Caught the last sunlight of the day on this red barn, during the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count for High River, a town to the south of Calgary. Taken on 18 December 2012. Another cold day here today, and snowing. Temperature this morning is -22C (-8F), windchill -30C (-22F). Tomorrow is forecast for -27C (-17F), windchill -33C (-27F)! Off to see my youngest daughter later this mornining - she's cooking a turkey lunch for me : ) What an absolute treat! NORAD Santa Cams: "Santa Cams are ultra-cool, high-tech, high-speed digital cameras that NORAD pre-positions at many locations around the world. The cameras capture images and videos of Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey around the world." Apparently, he has already left well over 1,335,200,000 gifts (as of 8:30 a.m. Calgary time). www.noradsanta.org/en/track.html HAPPY CHRISTMAS, everyone, and all the very best in the New Year!!
