This past weekend the hubs was on call. Saturday night we went to sleep as usual. At 2 a.m. the phone rang. He had to head out to take care of some things I can't disclose. I walked him out & you would think that I would have gone straight back to bed. NOPE! The sky was so pretty. The glow from Vegas over the mountain was beautiful against the clouds & I just had to take a moment or two to capture the beauty. I was even more excited when I uploaded the shots & saw that I picked up the beam of light from the Luxor. We do normally see it from here- (even through Vegas is 70 miles from here & we have a mountain range in-between) but I was pleased to see that the lens picked it up too. I love that even in the middle of the night- there are things to capture if you are paying attention. They are like little photographic treats for those that happen to be out.
I also have to mention (because I am so stinkin' excited about it) that I was featured on Simple as That this week for this shot of my daughter that I posted on Saturday (catch it here). I love Rebecca & her blog. She is so amazing in so many ways. If you have not been over to see her- I strongly encourage you to head on over. I promise you will leave with a huge batch of inspiration & a smile on your face.

Fabulous shots, Gina -- especially the night sky. Wonderful! :)
Awesome shots. I love that night sky!
Wonderful night sky shot!! Jealous of all the stars you see!! The shot of your daughter is wonderful... and congrats on it being featured!
gorgeous
Wow...those are magnificent. I am quite impressed you can see the Vegas lights from 70 miles away...though I suppose I am not shocked...
Both shots are beautiful. The night sky shot is awesome. I need to practice my night shots.
Gorgeous night sky! Yay for you being able to forego sleep for a few minutes to capture it!
LOVE both shots! I cannot believe you were awake enough to grab a camera and get a shot like that. Mine would have been blurry and all over the place. LOL! I might have to pay attention to the sky tonight before bedtime - though, it's dark and raining here. Maybe I'll get lucky..... :)
That is a gorgeous shot of the night sky!
Lucky you, up at 2 a.m. to get a great night sky shot. Love your daughter's photo too. That's a great capture.
Great sky shot! I've never taken a sky shot and had the stars show up. How do you do that? Please...(begging)...share your settings.
Love the shot of your daughter. I had to go look at the earlier post with these shots. She looks like a little model. I think she knows what to do with that camera pointed at her.
Hey, well done for being alert enough to capture such a beautiful picture at 2am. And well done also for having your photo recognised on Rebecca's simple things round up - well deserved.
Love both of these. Congrats on being featured over at Simple as That. Love Rebecca. Thanks so much for linking up! Happy WW!
Congrats! I love both shots, and think it’s cool that the lights of Vegas help backlight the mountains between you. So pretty.
a-mazing pictures!
Beautiful pics, i love how you captured all those stars! It never occurred to me to try that, and while i don't have vegas nearby, we definitely have a ton of stars out here : )
Congrats on being featured, it's a great shot!
Love that sky shot.
And congrats on the feature! :D That's always exciting.
You know I love the night shot. LOVE! The shot of your daughter is just awesome. Congrats. Hope all is well.
