Don't Turn Your Back on a Sunset #blogboost #SkywatchFriday

I should know better.

I was taking pictures of a sunset.  It started out promising.
Soon, a bird joined me in watching, as the sun went behind a cloud.
And then another bird, as the sun peeked out one last time.
As anther bird arrived, we all took a final look.

Yes, I turned my back on the sunset.  It was cold.  The wind was whipping and I only had a light jacket on.

So spouse and I went back to our motel, and I made the mistake of looking back at the western horizon.

To my combined horror and enjoyment, the entire horizon was on fire, but I couldn't see most of it as it was blocked by buidings.

I did manage to get this.

I hope the birds back at the beach had a better view.

    Isn't that annoying, when the best part happens after you leave?

    At least you caught some of it, and a lesson well learned.

    Sun rise and Sun set, the prettiest part of the day, and the full moon we are enjoying this week makes sky watching very entertaining.Thanks for sharing, I love the ocean and sunsets are a big part of why,

    Once I was leaving an area, looked in the side mirror, saw the sunset getting more beautiful by the second. My husband pulled the car over to the side of the road, and I made a photo of the mirror with sunset reflected in it!
