Yesterday, hubs and I drove out to his youngest brother’s lake home for a family gathering on hubs’ side.
It was hubs’ eldest brother’s birthday, so we enjoyed a day of cards and a steady supply of finger food.
The day was jam packed with laughter and continual pestering of each other and everyone else present, because that’s how they do get-togethers. I’m sure being raised in a family of five boys may have had something to do with that.
On the way home, the setting sun breaking through the clouds at different intervals made for a striking light show . The best views seemed to be through hubs’ window, so that’s where I took a few photos.
I was pleased with the multiple frames that showed up in my feature photo. I was aiming for the light show alone, and ended up unintentionally catching the sun being framed by the clouds, the reflection of the trees being framed in the side mirror, and the entire image being partially framed by the car window. I also didn’t realize until after we arrived home that I had caught the farm buildings. Sometimes “on the way by” photos can be full of surprises.
Photo Note: I take all of my photos for a quick run through Snapseed to see if white balance needs correction or if there are any other tweaks I can do to improve the photo. For my feature photo, there was nothing I could find in Snapseed that helped the original. I did straighten the horizon and did a few minor adjustments in my native photos app and left it at that. It’s not a perfect photo by any means. It just wasn’t helped by a lot of post processing, and sometimes that’s the case.

Beautiful picture of the sky! Dan has 4 brothers and 1 sister. There are a lot of what I would call jabs at each other anytime they all get together. Somehow, it seems to me, they show they love each other by making fun of each other. His sister is very sweet – and they make fun of her, too! Fortunately, she can give it right back. Did hubs’ brother purchase your motor home? Safe adventures to all!

Thank you for the compliment on the photo, Betty. Hubs’ brother didn’t purchase our motorhome. We sold it outside of the family. Yes, those jabs and teasing seem endless in families with lots of boys. In my family, there are four sisters and one brother, so we tend to do less of that, despite my brother’s best efforts. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Enjoy your day!
