International Space Station sighting from near De Leon, Texas 5-1-13

I see a very slow moving aircraft on the western horizon on just about any clear evening that I assume to be the International Space Station. It has a long tail and  is moving from approximately southwest to northeast. A few days ago, it was moving very fast and was out of sight quickly. Normally, it is moving very slow. I searched Google images for a similar pic of the space station on the western horizon at sunset but there were NONE.  A picture is difficult to get this time of day because of the low light but here's some attempts. 

Cropped photo looking due west, zoomed in somewhat while trying to keep it focused:

Here's the same photo with less cropping but was still reduced from the original since blogger won't really show a full resolution pic. The space station is not visible:
