I decided to focus (a poor photographers joke) on sunsets. I limit myself to shooting from our driveway or, more often, from a small lake, Kendrick Lake, located about a mile from the house in Lakewood, Colorado. I was surprised by the range of moods and 'looks' the lake and sunsets gave. There was rarely a dull evening. Hope you like them.

A typical sunset that works The next photo shows the same spot but without the sun.
