The other night, my son was quite fussy right at bedtime. The surefire cure for this is a car ride. He usually falls asleep within a few blocks of our home. I realized that this was happening right before sunset, so I grabbed my camera as we headed out the door. I am glad that I did, because I was able to catch the sun right as it disappeared behind the trees on Government Island, which sits in the middle of the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington.
What a great week back. I am so glad I have started blogging again. Thank you to all my new followers here on Blogger and the new people who have "Liked" Hood Photography on Facebook!

Welcome back--and what a stunning photo!
congrats on your new son, I'm the mother of four sons and now 7 grand children. Thanks for visiting my blog-you live in a lovely area-and what a great sunset you captured...
A wonderful sunset. Stunning !
Thanks for your comment, but I have no Facebook Account.
Beautiful. I can't help but wonder if poor Kyron Horman is on that island, or one of the others, in the Columbia or Multnomah Rivers.
Beautiful sunset!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
I also "liked" you on FB.
That is a gorgeous composition and capture!!
That is such a lovely sunset!
Stunning sunset.
I like this deep amber hue. It's amazing how dramatically the colors change--and in such a short amount of time. Your son fell asleep, I assume. What a gorgeous backdrop to catch a few winks... it's so serene.
Gorgeous amber colour. And congrats on the birth of your son!
What a gorgeous, golden sky! Congratulations on the birth of your son and so nice to have you blogging fulltime!
Happy Skywatch Friday! Lot's of very nice nature photographs on your blog...
What a beautiful sunset. So warm and full of light.
Beautiful shot. Now, not that I wish you a fussy newborn....but if a car ride puts him to sleep and you get gorgeous images, well........LOL
I have a sweet pit bull mix too. His picture is occasionally found on my dog and cat blog. His name is Bingo. MB
Great composition! New follower. Nice to meet you!
Ha! My parents told me that my older brother was the same way. He wouldn't go to sleep unless they took him out around the block in the car. That's back when gas was $0.35!
That is a beautiful sunset! My oldest son was one who "needed" a car ride before he would fall asleep. I have taken many an evening drive...but never had a camera in those days!
A beautiful sunset over the river! Congrats on the birth of your new baby boy. :)
Oh I remember those days of putting a fussy toddler in the car so she would sleep!!! A beautiful photo!!!
Gorgeous sunset- I love that particular location. Fond memories.
A fine shot of the sunset over the Colombia!
«Louis» thanks you for your visit to San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.
Love the copper color in the sky. I do not see that color very often.
Welcome back and congrats on the new little one. Enjoy him while you can they grow up and are gone before you have time to blink it seems.
Nice shot!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
There's just something about the hum of a car motor that lulls our wee ones off to sleep, eh?
I remember those days, lol.
Your sunset over the Columia is perfection!
It radiates warmth and serenity.
Nice to have you back and posting your beautiful photos! :)
Your nature photos are a pleasure to view. Thank you for your visit and comment to QDP on the East Coast. Enjoy!
I'll bet this sunset is ALMOST as beautiful as your new baby! Glad mine never fussed much—we live in NYC and didn't have a car. :~}
Very pretty! I just started back blogging this week too! It's the first week of my retirement.
This is a gorgeous shot of the sun setting! I'm glad you stopped to snap it. Have a wonderful weekend!
