Thanksgiving

I am so far behind the times. I am still catching up on photos I took in November .... yeesh!

So for Thanksgiving, my husband and I went down to Connecticut to celebrate with him family. We stayed with his Grandmother and spent Thanksgiving afternoon and night with his Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. It was a fantastic time. We went to Hammonasset State Park while we were there and I took pictures of the sunset again.

This is a picture of one of the buildings on the beach, before you actually get to the beach. It is a puddle and the building. I love taking pictures of puddles.

It was definitely reminiscent of a wintry sunset.

A couple of people were out walking their dog.

Pretty clouds...

This is one of my favourites...

Nelson and I...

Another one of my favourites...

I love how the pink sky is absorbed into everything.

Beautiful colours...

Howard's Symphony

For my husband and I, Madison, CT is a special place for us. My husband, Nelson, has a lot of family down there and it's where he did a lot of his wooing. :)  We were down there last year in May to visit family. As watching the sun set at Hammonasset State Park is one of my favourite things to do, we stopped by while we were down there. Even better, this sunset happened to be on one of our anniversaries, so it was extra special. May 23rd was the day we became engaged. I call this post "Howard's Symphony," because this beautiful sunset was also on the anniversary of Nelson's Grandfather's death, and we've always felt that his spirit was there, guiding us together.

The weather became overcast and stormy, and I thought for sure that the sunset was going to be crappy.

Then, the sun broke through the clouds a little.

I love this one, with the sun descending from the clouds for its last burst of shine.

Under the blood red sun. 

This is my absolute favourite, though. I loved how the sky cleared up just long enough for a brilliant sunset. Truly I think it was part of Howard's spirit at work.
