Reverse 365: Catch-Up

I have been MIA from the blog for a bit as I had to travel to Kentucky for my grandmother's funeral. I am still not feeling too creative, but I know that if I neglect my goals any further I may not achieve them by the end of the year. So on with the photos...

This first set of photos is from Quincy Wildlife Recreation Area in Eastern Washington. I love how the sunset started off soft and pastel and then turned a fiery reddish pink.
