You Capture: Nature

Photobucket
Tonight we took the kids to a park to burn off some of the everlasting energy they seem to possess. :) It was fairly late in the evening when we headed out, so this gave me a great opportunity to catch nature at one of my favorite times of the day. Ah, the beauty of seeing the sun set!

The view from the park is just beautiful. In a way it reminds me of the rolling hills of where I grew up.
Catching the sun starting to go down between the evergreens.
I love the peace I feel at this hour.

Nothing is more beautiful to me then being surrounded by God's creation outdoors and my family.

I had to throw this one in of Claire and me. I didn't take it but I did set the camera up (on the right setting) so all Bill had to do was focus and snap! :)

You can check out more nature pictures on Beth's blog.

You are so right about the "peaceful hour." There is just that one moment in the day when everything is crisp, clear, and perfect. I think sunset does it for me too! Beautiful captures. Fantastic silhouettes! Tell hubby he did well!
