Sunset'n the High Plains

United States
October 2, 2020 9:33pm CST
'tis a magical thingy to 'hold. I wish I'd a camera that'd catch what I see coz Mother Nature paints such with a vast colorin' box. 'lways a blessin' to see wispy pinks 'n purples dancin' 'mong the clouds. The sun's been'n the 'wrong' spot now fer the past year 'r so. Not fer certain what the cause, seems 'nly myself 'd noticed such. Most refreshin' to see that such's now righted fer this time 'f year. 'd to gimme a new phone (dang't, mercy't the learnin' curve...) 'n 'twas most thrilled 't takes such good pics 'f sunsets 'n rises. Purty much sucks't all others, but'm sure 'tis user error. I'll get'er figured one'f these days 'n with lots 'f practice.

@wolfgirl569 i think the daughters does purty much all but wash the dishes. be a cold day'n hades 'fore i pay that much fer one. this'un's an 8x zoom i believe? twice the other. i'd gotten 'nother jest like 't (the elder phone), but figured since such'll be obsolete 'n no longer work when at&t goes 5g come 2022 why bother. 'nly paid $60 fer this'un so aint complainin'. quite 'mpressed such took such good photos 'r our skies though. 've yet to try 'ndoor 'n low light outside 'f the moon. hopefully i'll get't figured 'fore the hubs's the need to 'pgrade....

'tis not a new phone, jest new to me :) does've the capabilities though 'f capturin' sunsets'n rises more true to the colors i see. i still prefer my 'real cameras', though such's not 'lways handy to carry 'round 't all times. yes ma'am, a purty view. wonderin' if'n the sun settin' where 'tis 'pposed to be finally 'tis a sign. wish my papaw 'twas still here coz he'd most likely know. i miss his wisdom.

that't 'twas :) ya know, if'n we tried i fear we'd not get much else tended, eh? 'tis true, some thingies 're jest meant fer the soul who needed 't most. 't least that's what my papaw used to say. the hubs company finally 'xcepted the fact he'd no 'ntent to return to work. i figured givin' him mine 't least i could learn him (when he's the mood...) how to use such. took him 5 days to recall not to punch the phone when a call 'twas there, but to swipe to the right.... i figure if'n i've gotta've a phone'n me outdoors, such might's well've a usable camera. saves my good camera's from all the bumps, scratches'n dents that'd no doubt 'ccur. did find 'tis a higher iso, e'en than my 'real' cameras. so'll be 'nterestin' to see if'n i can get some flight pics 'f the hummers next spring with more clarity'n their wings :)

@crazyhorseladycx I have finally realized that, many things are for only us to see. I hope you can get some good camera pics.

I always imagine your place there and I say to myself: I wish I lived there. Right, now, am trying to savor the beauty of nature you are describing.

aw, mighty kind 'f ya. i fear ya'd not like livin' here though. triple digit heat, high winds that blow dirt'n debris 'cross these parched lands. where e'en the cacti begged fer sips 'f water. 'tis a thing 'f beauty though e'erchangin'.
