The night would be perfect: some clouds and sun. This was a rarity for us in Sacramento lately. Taking the opportunity, Laura and I went to photograph the sunset at Gibson Ranch Regional Park.
This is a Sacramento County park and equestrian center that has picnic areas. a dog park, small lake, and other activities. It’s a perfect place that is local to catch a sunset. We were not disappointed.
Before sunset: The equestrian area was gated off, but these facilities were available to photograph.







As the sun was getting low in the sky, fishermen were still trying to catch their limit.



And I became taller! Okay, with the help of my shadow!!

Finally a great sunset and lake reflection!


After all those weeks of overcast and rain, I was a happy camper! The damp, overcast and rain did come back, so I was glad we went that evening.
Fabulous. The sunset was well worth waiting for Anne 😍

My dad worked at Gibson Ranch for a while in the 90s. He was retired and liked working at the ranch as a handyman. I’m so glad you got to see such a glorious sunset! Are the poppies out in force yet?

I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to go down to Jackson to find out.

Thanks Sarah! Yes, we need to take advantage of whatever we can. I thought the cat was gorgeous too, especially for a feral cat or well fed barn cat.

Love the sunset, Anne!
I hope you don’t think me rude but I noticed that you’d visited Restlessjo, my old blog. I’ve been at Stillrestlessjo.com for a couple of years now but WP doesn’t always recognise that.
