Spring Sunsets

Earlier this week thunder clouds and wind roared across the heartland. We have been experiencing a warming trend here in the valley south of Bayfield, Colorado after we received a thin layer of snow cover here in the SW Colorado valley, Tuesday, April 24, 2007.

Our Youngest son sent me an email with images attached mentioning and requesting, "These are the Western skies of last night-storm clouds building up. Maybe you can make a panoramic pic with these images?" They were taken April 23, 2007, Monday evening as the sun was setting, West of Alva, Oklahoma, in northwest Oklahoma.

You can see the thunderheads building on the right and the sunset to the left of it. I were told that it was looking off to the west along highway 64, west of Alva, Oklahoma. I used my HP Photosmart editor and made a panoramic view of several images Robert sent me. They turned out great. AND... Robert said that is exactly what it looked like in person.

One last memory jogger to throw at you... Have you ever heard of the "Butterfly Kid" of 1903?

I need to get out of here 'cause I heard, saw my first hummingbirds searching for their regular feeders that I usual set out. That seems early for them. BUT... I guess May 1st (May Day) is just around the bend!
