An Alternate Universe

Ivie came running up to me, yelling, "Daddy, Daddy, the sun is going down, and it looks bew-tee-full!" (She had heard Shara making remarks about the sky.) I grabbed the camera and set it up on the back porch, facing west just over the roof of our house. The dogs were drawn to the tripod like those apes at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey and the monolith, approaching it with great curiosity and trepidation. You can tell from the picture where their noses bumped the camera. In one frame a few birds are captured passing overhead.
