Beautiful New Year's Eve

Dec 31, 2009, Hillsboro, Oregon, across the street from Diane's sister's farm. This was awfully close to sunset time.



And a little more context:



I love that little orange cone in the middle of a very blue picture.

The image that got away—as I turned onto Dick Road, the cemetery behind the church had a dusting of snow on the ground, mist in the air. And the whole scene was basked in the eerie evening light.

We couldn't see the blue moon, but that spectacular scene more than made up for it.
