Tim certainly knows how to spot a pretty sky! This time he let me take the picture myself on my camera, lol!
I was out this evening shooting flower's, when this couple walked by, yep, I just had to shoot the photo.
After taking my wife out for her birthday, we saw this evening sky in the restaurant parking lot. You know me, I had to grab a shot!
A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed... It feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

I decided to spent one evening shooting. Tested light, iso-settings etc. Here is one of those many shots I took that evening. More to come.
Canon EOS 50D+EF 85mm/1.8
I am not sure if this is a wild flower or an escaped cultivar as I have seen them in the wild and in gardens. I do like this shade of yellow.

Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Tucker County, West Virginia. I drove to Canaan Valley the day before the Potomac Highlands photography workshop (Randall Sanger Photography) and was rewarded by being able to accompany workshop leaders Randy Sanger and Todd Williams the evening before to scout a possible site for the workshop. Sunset that evening was the most colorful sunset or sunrise of the week (below), although it came many minutes after this shot. The refuge was created in 1994 with just 86 acres; now it has nearly 17,000 acres, nearly half of them wetlands -- the largest wetlands complex in West Virginia.
I still have several photos from the September workshop that I've not posted, but I'm about to set out for another workshop (this photo has been loaded, ready to open, for ages -- I see that I put the photo in the comment space three months ago). I enjoy going out with other photographers, and the workshops get me to areas I might not visit on my own -- and force me to get up for sunrise!

A wild evening in the sky to say the least. After the sun went down I was packing up to leave when I noticed another photographer looking through his lens up at the sky. This was happening 45 degrees above my head and the clouds where swirling about. Rather, it kept engulfing itself as it would roll. My 70-200 brought it close enough and it was fascinating to watch as it was ever changing.
After the colorful event in the clouds finished we talked about what we saw and about photography in general. He had as much equipment as most and it was attached all about him. I will always remember what he had to say regarding just being out and shooting. "It beats sitting in the basement", he said, meaning better than sitting watching the boob tube. "Yes", "You never know till you go" I added.
