Call me a little squirrelly

Call me a little squirrelly, because I can be restless and unpredictable, but I like get away from the house ands just take pictures.  It was rainy all day and then around 3PM it cleared up.  With the clouds in the sky, I thought I might be able to capture a nice sunset in the evening sky.  It turn out that where the sun was setting, the sky was clear and to the east of me were the Cumulonimbus clouds.  I was hoping for some Cirrocumulus or Stratocumulus clouds.  It is was it is and I just made the best of it.

We had a warm spell and squirrel were out harvarting food for the next polar front to by.
