I found the most beautiful sunset and reached for my camera to capture it. Among the shots I took, one stood out to me above the rest. The vibrant yellow and purple hues of the sunset refract across the landscape, perfectly complementing the intricate, hand-crafted Arizona bird feeder in the foreground.

I hiked a trail head to try and take a piture of the sunrise but there were clouds in the way so I decided to wait for the son to be out of the clouds and took this picture

When I took this photo, I was guided to it by the calls of a bird in the tree. I spotted it perched high on a branch and quickly took out my camera. At the time, I wasn’t sure if I had captured the shot, but later, while going through my photos, I found it. The image itself isn’t dramatic—there’s no sky with a thousand colors—but it tells a story. It reminds me that even a single bird can hold the beauty of a thousand sunsets.
