Millipede and a South Texas Sunset

We actually accomplished something today...With Mom's help Fred and I managed to clean the Utility room...The Utility room was and is our catch all room and it was a Mess...But today we moved everything out and cleaned, rearranged, trashed quiet a bit, and re-organized...I have to say it is kind of nice to be able to walk in the utility room and actually be able to move around in there, lol...Now I just hope I remember where we put everything and I can find stuff when I need it...Yikes!!

In the middle of redoing the Utility room I was out in the yard and noticed this big guy...

He's a Millipede...

I had to get the Macro lens out...

I didn't have much time though...Someone was grumbling that I was playing with the camera when I should be working, Oops!!

But when a photo Op shows up you have to "Go For It!" and I did!! I think this guy is pretty cool...look at all those legs...

Then this evening I was sitting here at my desk working on Michael's Valentines when I noticed the gorgeous Sunset...I didn't switch lens so this was taken with the Macro lens...it's a bit grainy as I turned the ISO to 800...Ekk...But I didn't have time for the tripod or monopod, actually I was to lazy to go back and grab one or the other...But I love the colors and that is what I wanted to share, the beautiful colors of the Sunset...
