When Interests Converge

It’s nice when interests converge. For instance, I love bicycling, cameras, and clouds. So when I get to combine the three, it’s so nice! Of course, I can take care of the bicycling and camera aspect myself, but need a little luck with the clouds. It’s nice to be prepared, though! What’s the saying? “Luck favors those who are prepared”? Something like that. Anyways, one good thing to come out of the pandemic is that I spend more time bicycling than other activities to relieve the stir-crazy feelings.

“Sunset Panorama” Cedar Park, 2020

This evening, we were relaxing as usual when Bay said that the sky was really orange. I took a peek out the window and decided that I needed to get a photo, so I grabbed my camera, hopped on my bike, and sped over to the wide-open space that offers a good view of the sunset.

To my surprise, there were about 10 people there, all watching the sunset. One lady even had her camp chair set up so she could watch in comfort. Since I had never seen people stop to actually watch the sunset at that location, I wondered if there was some other special event that was about to happen, such as a space station flyover. I think it was just a beautiful sunset that drew everyone out of their homes, though, but of course that’s plenty of reason! And Bay was right, the sky was glowing orange! 😊

Another beautiful sunset seen on my evening bicycle ride around the neighborhood. Lots of people were outside walking, but I seemed to be the only weird one taking photos. 😜
