I Should Have Taken My Camera!

It poured rain Sunday morning which was a good thing because we have not had rain in over 21 days. Not a wonderful thing when you are trying to get your garden going and the grass to green up. But the day cleared and the sun peaked out so we decided to take an evening stroll but it was still partly cloudy, no need for my camera.

But the sky and Lake Michigan looked glorious and I whined "I should l have taken my camera!" If my husband had a dollar of every time I said that he would be a rich man. But he is a sport and let me borrow his iPhone to snap a few photos. I was amazed how pretty they turned out, the color was not enhanced but just for fun I "framed" them. They are ready to hang on the wall don't you think?

    Unbelievable photos. I can't believe they're from an iPhone. I almost need sunglasses to look at that gorgeous sun. Way to go, Laura. And, thanks, hubby for the loaner.

    Most definitely, ready to hang! If they improve those phone cameras any more, there may not be a need for "regular" cameras! :)

    Laura,
    These are beautiful for an iPhone. You really captured the beauty of the sun here. God's sky always amazes me. You are getting to be quite talented, my friend.

    Thanks for popping in over at Quirky Vistas to check out my rainy afternoon post. Ours unfortunately has, as of yet, not been followed by beautiful sunshine, and it looks as if it may be a while before we enjoy a beautiful sunset again. At least I know I can come back here and see yours if I get to missing it too much!

    Your pictures are wonderful! My husband and I do the same thing where I am always saying, I should have brought my camera. Usually we are close enough to home that he goes back for me. I'm glad you got your pictures!
