Just a massive simple cloud that caught my attention.

Yes, it just spread out over the area and was there when it got dark.

I'll be putting some photos on of my Boomerang at some point in time.

Thanks.

Maybe that was it - it was just so massive, just hanging there over practically the whole valley.

Shooting back towards the actual sunset, so it backlights the hills. It's a great place to ride, also.

Little trick - I keep it with me at all times. If I'm home, it's accessible. If I'm going to/from work, I carry a little sack - like one of those gift bags you'd put a smaller present in - with all my reminder notes I might make at home or in the car, bills to pay, etc., and of course, the camera. So, it's with me in the car, and goes into the office, as well.

I drive over an hour to work and then again back home, stopping by the horse's both times, so I need to keep things accessible to me.

Thanks. Had to share.

He's a registered Morgan. Before that I had a part Quarter, part TB saddle horse, and also had TB racehorses. My Morgan, though - wow, I would get another in a heartbeat. How about yours?

I only got to ride one of my racehorses once - had to sneak on the track, and only did a light canter.

The 1/2 Qtr/TB was a backyard bred guy and was really low key.

Now the Morgan - spirit, but with intelligence!

While I may not get another horse after my Morgan goes (he's 23), I would love to have a mineature.

Thanks. I liked it because it spread out like a giant umbrella over such a large canyon area.

Thanks much! I am a So Cal native, and while I have visited many parts of the country that are truly beautiful, I just couldn't see myself landing anywhere else but here.

The wind will be flying through my horses mane - with any luck, not mine.

Ahhh, my dad was in the Navy (photographer during WWII). as was my brother (USS Constellation during Viet Nam) and out of San Diego.

Thanks much, MoonCrow. I was just blown away by the sheer massiveness of this one. It's hard to get a feel for just how big that area is, looking away from Santa Clarita and up the canyon. That was one big cloud!

Thanks for checking it out.

Honestly, my Boomerang is in the works. I need to get a more recent photo of him. It's hard right now with the winter coat and weather. He wants to look his most charming! I'll even post a photo that will absolutely AMAZE.

Teaser: I still have it and it cost me $10,000!

Thanks for the cloud comment. The hardest part was staying with traffic for that first shot!

Thanks, on both counts!
