Most days I look up to admire clouds, find interesting shapes, and enjoy sunrise and sunset.
These photos were taken from the window of the plane. The first one looks like a bear climbing out of the water (clouds) and the others were just ones I found interesting.
The second and last pictures are of the sun from different angles and points of sunset.
Eyes flicker open
Will the morning colors be putting on a show?
All day I glance skyward
at the wisps
at the billowing puffs
at the myriad of shapes
always putting on a show.
Setting my imagination free.
And then, evening colors.
Will they bring another dazzling display?
As the weekend winds down, those of us who want to squeeze the last drops of fun from it enjoy the sunset as we look for moose. Tonight there were none, but the magnificent sky, wildflowers, and a lone duck in the lake were enough.
Capturing sunset
on a steamy summer night
home before darkness
Stopping for sunset
snow covered distant peaks glow
fleeting views captured.
This is a “throwback” from three years ago as it came up in my Facebook memories. There is beauty everywhere you look in Lucerne. But the magical moments as the sun sets reflecting on the water is otherworldly. Combined with the leafless trees and the purple gardens, this is a sunset I will always remember.
My last night on the gulf coast of Florida provided a magnificent sunset. Looking forward to waking up to my spectacular sunrise in the mountains tomorrow.
Mother Nature is a bit of a show off. 😎☀️🌴
These photos were taken from the Westin rooftop in Sarasota, Florida. There is a 360 view. The rooftop has a great pool on one side and a bar with a variety of seating options on the other 3 sides as you walk around. It was a lovely evening as day faded into night. No matter the lighting, it is a beautiful view.
Just as the sun sinks into the Gulf of Mexico, the pelicans glide over the water near the shore. Back and forth they fly, as they swoop like an acrobat when they spot fish below. With precise skill, diving when they spot fish below. I’m not sure if they enjoy their dinner as much as I enjoy watching them. As they sky darkens, they fly away from the beach, returning the next morning for “the catch of the day.”
Sunset photos taken from two nights and two slightly different locations in Longboat Key, Florida. Enjoy! 😎☀️🎁
