Day 355: Sky III

Another shot of the sunset right outside our front door.

Day 328: Sky II

Beautiful sky right outside my front door tonight. These shots never come out the way I want, but I still whip out my camera every time.

Day 326: Tree VIII

A beautiful day in Eugene!

Day 316: Wyoming

Our road trip has officially begun. We made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming yesterday and spent the night. And saw our first glimpse of mountains!

Day 284: Sky

This was the view from our hotel room in Ft. Leonard Wood, where Tim filled out his paperwork to leave the Marine Corps. Let me say that one more time. Tim filled out his paperwork to leave the Marine Corps. (!!!)

Day 267: Sunset VII

I only have about a week left on the island to capture these amazing sunsets.

Day 260: Moon III

How creepy I must have looked when Tim came home to find me, lights off, with my tripod and zoom lens sticking out the window.

Day 144: Winter

As I said - completely obsessed.

Day 143: Moon

I can't stand this cold weather, but I am obsessed with the bare branches on the trees. I can't stop taking pictures of them!

Day 121: Sunset V

Crazy sky tonight! It went from orange to pink to night in about 10 minutes. That's our building in the bottom left.

Day 98: Typhoon II

I know, enough with the sky pictures! I couldn't resist. We had some of the strangest weather I've ever seen today. Typhoon Chaba came close enough to Okinawa that Tim was sent home from work and told to batten down the hatches. We reached TCCOR-1E, which basically means hole up in your apartment and stay away from windows. The winds were absolutely nuts. Somehow though, around sunset, the sky started changing from orange to pink to purple. When my camera battery died, I stuck Tim's point-and-shoot out the window on full auto and got this. The flash hitting the raindrops makes it look like a meteor shower!

Day 97: Typhoon

Apparently Typhoon Chaba is making its way to Okinawa - this is the view from our window tonight. Sometimes, like Jane Eyre, I wish "the wind to howl more wildly, the gloom to deepen to darkness, and the confusion to rise to clamour."

Day 92: Storm

This is the view from the top floor of our building. The ocean is close enough that you can actually see the waves breaking. We loved watching this huge storm cloud roll in.
