spectacular sunsets & a spectacular senior

the sunset was absolutely spectacular last night.

undoubtedly one of the most breathtaking i've ever seen.

it was the perfect weather to have the top down on the beetle

so caroline & i thoroughly enjoyed our ride at sunset.

we listened to the Glee soundtrack

& then i taught her the words to "have you ever seen the rain".

a little classic rock appreciation moment thanks to Creedence Clearwater Revival.

it was my favorite thing of yesterday.

we had to stop & pick up some supplies so she could create a model of a plant cell.

we had continued to watch the colors of the sky blow our minds.

as we walked into hobby lobby, i wanted to ask for the microphone 

& announce something along the lines of...

" attention shoppers, put down your craft supplies,

 go outside

&  be wowed by the amazing sunset".

but i refrained.

when caroline & i walked out

it was still stunning.

while my humble canon would not have captured its grandeur

i would have loved to be shooting with that sun as my backlight.

we stood on the sidewalk for a second

& i encouraged her

to give God a hand.

so we stood there

& applauded God 

for His own masterpiece.

you know, i doubt the sunset really has to be all those shades of marvelous

but He is an artist

& i think sometimes He loves to blow our mind

with something like a splendid sunset

to remind us He's in control.

i love my abby!

she & her mama are two of my most favorite people.ever.

i told you that bailey, savannah & i headed over 

& invaded her Homecoming evening
with silly antics, goofy jokes & paparazzi style obnoxious photography.

that's what friends are for anyway!

she & her bestfriend were stunning!!

i love few things more than capturing the laughter

& giggles of teenage girls.

abby, you beautiful girl

you were you own version of spectacular

& you blew our minds!

don't ever let anyone tell you anything different.

love you sweet girl!

oh & ps

the boys have a bit of a tradition

which involves shopping at the local thrift shop

for their attire.

 The heavens declare the glory of God,
   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Psalm 19.1
