Here in Nebraska, the evening skies are really something. This beauty was waiting in the sky as I emerged from the woods yesterday.

I spent a lot of time on my feet yesterday, so I decided to head out early and do a few silhouette sketches, then re-group and take my bike into town to explore the Homestead Trail for a bit http://www.traillink.com/trail/homestead-trail.aspx . It's a lovely trail over an old Union Pacific railbed. Goes 40 miles to Lincoln - I didn't go the whole way!

Made 2 little watercolor studies at Homestead in the late afternoon. The light's most interesting then:
