I had hoped that last Thursday that I would be able to get a photograph of the first sunrise of 2009, unfortunately the weather was not cooperative. So last week I had to use a flight shot of geese that I took on Christmas morning for my
SkyWatch post instead of the beautiful New Years sunrise that I had hoped to share with you.
However as New Years day progressed the clouds eventually cleared so I went out and did a
bit of shooting and even though I did not get the first sunrise of the year I did get the next best thing.
So this week I would like to share with you the first sunset of 2009 from Wood Lake Nature Center.

...and a lovely one it is! Alothough we are in summer, I have had neither sunrises nor sunsets worth taking this week. Just clear hazy skies.
