Thanks, Jim.
It's just that I'm having trouble getting the image in my head. Last
pass, the weather didn't cooperate at all and it rained throughout most
of the window of opportunity. Today, the gorgeous cloud formation left
the area about an hour before sunset.
But I've got the groundskeeper's blessing, so I'm going to keep going
out there until everything happens the way I have it visualized. i may
follow through on the suggestion to try the same shot in all four
seasons as a series, too.
