One More Try
It really is pretty, and you can't tell. I have taken a few more photos and done a few tweaks.

60 MPH Sunset I finished the quilt.
So I did the unthinkable, gasp, I took a photo from a moving car. In fact I took several photos. After I downloaded to my computer, surprise, my phone took better photos than I expected.
