Goodbye to Spring #SkywatchFriday

Summer starts tomorrow.

It's going to be such a different summer than almost any summer in our lives, we can all agree.

But sunrises are still sunrises, and sunsets are still sunsets, and nature puts on a show for us whether we are watching or not.

I've been negligent on my sunrises (asleep, mostly) and sunsets (too tired) but on Wednesday night, I literally dragged myself out there, barefoot (not a great idea), to watch what was unfolding.
The sun angle isn't convenient to get to the action where my house is situated, but I didn't want to walk too far.  Here, I think it was about 10 minutes before sunset.
And there are those pesky overhead wires.
A few minutes later, it was coloring up (same view as picture #1)
I walked west a little more.

A different angle.

Good night, sun.

Today would have been my late best friend's birthday.  I bid, on her birthday, farewell to spring, and hope for positive change in our world.  Every day, every sunrise, every sunset, is a chance to make our world better.

  1. Beautiful photos and words. I guess shoes aren't required when it comes to capturing pretty sunsets!

  3. Every day, every sunrise, every sunset... is a wonderful mantra, Alana. As the summer begins to take hold, let's hope sanity tries to do the same.

  4. I know how you feel about dragging yourself out for the sunrise or the sunset. We have those pesky wires near our house too. I am glad you were brave enough to take these wonderful skywatch photographs. Be safe. Have a great weekend.

  5. Lovely series of sky photos. Sorry about the loss of your friend. I'm sure you have a lot of wonderful memories of your times together. Summer begins and it is definitely not what we would have thought of a year ago. One for the memory books.

  7. Nice skyshots, don't worry about the wires. I have the software to remove the wires but I don't generally do it. They are part of the environment in which I live.

  8. It’s a glorious sunset. A reminder that there is much beauty in the world, much to be thankful for.

  9. Sorry about your friend. I understand not wanting to go too far afield for photos. The sky is still pretty.

  10. I use the same excuses for not getting sunrise and sunset photos (too early in the morning, too tired at night). So I thank you for getting out there for these beautiful photos!
    Have a wonderful weekend!
