Sunset

At the close of last month I relocated one of the trail cameras from it's north-facing position perpendicular to a mowed trail to a location maybe 30 to 40 yards to the west.  It is on the north side of Silver Creek directly on a game trail meandering thru heavy brush.  I positioned the camera in such a fashion that it is about a foot from the ground, tilted-up a couple of degrees and pointed southwest to cover the trail head-on.  

It's working out rather nicely producing plenty of photos of bucks, does, fawns and recently a coyote.  There was even a photo of a deer with its ear shorn-off and hanging by a thread.  Yeesh!

At the time I was strapping the camera to the tree the thought crossed my mind that with the approach of the winter solstice it might just capture some interesting sunset photos with Old Sol settling deep on the southwest horizon.  Sure as shoot'n - on the late afternoons of the 7th, 8th and 9th of this month the skies cleared and the camera captured a series of sunset images on all three days.  The best of the batch are these taken on Saturday the 8th of December.  Time lapse format.....
