Can Sunset Lightning Strike Twice? #SkywatchFriday

 Let me assure you first, I'm not talking about actual lightning.  Rather....

Last week, I brought you an amazing sunset from February 9th that I would have missed if not for my spouse, whom I've turned into a fellow skywatcher.  Thank you, spouse!

Can the same thing happen twice?  Judge for yourself.

On February 12, Superbowl night, we were busy around sunset, preparing food for the arrival of our company (only one person, but, for us, that's enough) who was going to visit with us during the first half of the game.

I was totally involved with doing my part of the preparations, when spouse said, "Look out the window!"

Oh no! There was no way I could interrupt what I was doing to get to the park where we watch sunsets.  Instead, I dashed out of the house into our back yard.  Yes, I ran outside, cell phone in hand, with no shoes on.  Fortunately, the snow had melted.

  The best part was behind some houses.

I tried to get a slightly better view, but we have a small yard and I couldn't maneuver far.
I tried to capture the blue of the blue hour.
A reflection from one of my windows - alas, a curtain produced the rectangle in the lower corner.
The sunset started to fade away, and I had to go back inside.

Sometimes you can't be in the right place at the right time.  You just do the best you can.

  6. So you are a shoeless Rambler and photoblogger!! In the snow. That's badass, just so you know.
    You got some great images so I guess it was worth frost biting your toes.

  8. Upstate New York has jackpot sunsets whether the photographer wears shoes or not. Hope the three of you enjoyed the super bowl.
