i'm totally with you about the running .. the only time i run is when i'm trying to get an excellent shot .. and that's the honest truth .. the thing is, i find myself running quite a lot ...!!
sunrises and sunsets are sooooooo quick ... you see it, and think 'OMG thats so absolutely beautiful' .. of course you have your camera with you which is like an extension of your own body .. but unfortunately you then realise that altho the sunrise/set is the most amazingly beautiful thing you've ever seen, the scene sucks .. thats when the ability to run very very fast comes in incredibly handy .. !! ..
i'm thinking as i write this that a bit'v training might be a very good thing .. not for my health but so that i'm that much quicker ... of course with the added advantage of speed, i might be able to get that elusive 7+ in a challenge or a ribbon .. and i'm not talking brown .. it'd be good if i could put that in a photograph for the 'dream' challenge .. coz it's certainly 'in my dreams' .. !!:):)

edit to say .. i got carried away talking about the running and forgot to say that i love the beautiful colours in this sunset & i love how the image is sort'v divided by the sky and the silhouette of the trees ... excellent .. :)

This picture sure fits your story. What I really like is that it is not a perfect burst and probably fits how you feel.

I'm glad you ran for this. Beautiful colors and the silhouette of the pine helps give it perspective. Love it.

Wonderful colors!! very intense sunset you've captured, we get quite a few colorful sunsets normally here in Western Ok. although this year it's been SO rainy and overcast we have missed out on a lot of them. Great shot!!!

Oh my, such lovely vibrant sky colors! I love how you have the evergreen silhouetted against that sky, this is gorgeous! We have a lot of colorful skies here in NM, but not a lot of evergreens :-)

The greens on the trees are really nice.

You are entitled to extremes today.

It feels somewhat inappropriate to talk about a photo having read your story, so I will content myself by wishing both you and your husband strength and peace to get through what has obviously been (no matter how much you suspected it before) a shocking and painful day

Take care and my thoughts are with you

Well this is quite a symbolic interpretation of your day and the event in your life. Sorry to hear that something happened to ruin the occasion. But you know, after the explosion comes the bright burst of colors that we all enjoy. Hope you get some quality time today with those who bring you peace and happiness.
