Taken on short hike today. If you look real close there's about a dozen elk just past the horses.

Digital Camera by Scott Marvin, on Flickr A first and third Generation KLR650 in their natural habitat. Taken near Kentucky Lake today.
I was trying to get tools loaded before dark and noticed the mountains were glowing. It only lasts for a minute or three so I paused for a quick photo.

I've been running back and forth to Southern Colorado every weekend, usually passing this area in the dark. Finally seeing the Sangre De Cristo Mountains was a nice treat. The phone's camera can only catch a glimpse.
Looking off toward the East where Taos and Questa are from the Tres Piedras area.

And a Happy New year to you, Dave, and all that contribute to this great forum.
Colorfull. Yes, sunsets are different when can see all the way to the horizon.
Pacific coast ?
Yes not far from Lincoln City, about 140 miles from home. We were treated to that sky for 7 days.

Yes about 30 miles west. Jan 1 brought a change, wet and grey for the rest of our stay

this little dude has been coming around every day. First saw it a couple of weeks ago picking up lychies that had fallen on the ground.
Still a young un, dad rejects them around a year old because they, (primary carer of the nest and chicks), have a new batch to look over. Have seen then this age still with their dad.

Out for short drive and walk yesterday and bumped into this herd of Elk grazing in the outskirts of town. This is about 1/2 of the herd and counting the ones that weren't in the photo the herd would be about 200.

Charmayne and the kids came over Friday night leaving today. Knowing they are starting to get old enough, I thought I'd ask for their help moving the Bandit inside the shop. So after moving my woodworking tools around, I gave them both a short ride
Rose is about 3-1/2 foot tall now at 4 but her 2 year old brother Hunter is only a foot shorter

and their rides
Hunter is still way too short in the legs right now

Rose can just about reach the rear pegs

Not quite sure why the videos won't play but it probably has something to do with Flickr

Late March, when can catch sunset between the two lighthouses like this.
(is a vidio, might need to click it to get the vidio to run)
CAmera (Panasonic GX85) has function to take successive shots for a number of shots. I think I did 100 shots at 12 second intervals, and then made a video at something like 10 frames per second. dont really recall the specifics, but something like 15 minutes before sunset and 5 minutes after.
The difficult part is figuring where to setup tripod and how to frame it, but I had been there a couple evenings prior so that made it easier.
Other thing is determine what to do with the exposure as it changes in that 20 minutes. I chose an auto mode and set the target away from expected path of the sun
I wanted to be in a position to catch the sunset traverse all the way, I missed it some as it went partly behind the lighthouse, but what I did catch was better.
Notice what happens after seems like sun should be completly below the horizon.
