Texas Rangers, Sunsets, and Fireworks

Friday night a group of my friends decided to take in a Texas Rangers game. Now I really enjoy going to baseball games, and the Rangers are actually doing well this year (for once!), but for some reason I never really have gotten into actually WATCHING the Rangers games. I LOVE watching the Braves though! Anyway, the game was a lot of fun, and the Rangers beat the Dodgers 6-0.

Love this pic of Amanda, Amy, and me!The color accent feature on my camera gives some interesting views.

Honestly, I really didn't watch much of the game. I was more interested in photographing the amazing sunset and trying to catch pictures of the incredible lightning storm that surrounded the stadium. Shockingly, the storm never hit us - it seemed to go right around the stadium - but it sure put on a good show for us. Unfortunately, I never did get a pic of the lightning (this was the second time this week that I tried unsuccessfully to get pics of lightning, and if you haven't heard the story of my Wednesday night attempt, let's just say my head had an encounter with a falling iron and may never be the same!). Regardless, I was able to get some great sunset shots, and also thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks show that closed out our evening (I'm like a little kid with fireworks - I LOVE THEM!). I was just disappointed that nature's fireworks seem to evade my photography skills. Maybe next time...

(If you look closely below, you'll see a rainbow in the middle of the sunset - just to the right of the big baseball)
