Sailor's Delight #SkywatchFriday

I was writing a blog post in our bedroom yesterday when my spouse called up and said "I think we are going to have a good sunset".

I threw on my coat and followed him out the door to our local park. It was raining, and I didn't hold out much hope, but then, in the western sky, I saw a blazing sun about to set.  As we approached the park entrance, this is what I saw.

I zoomed in and saw a sailor's delight, a reddish orange that took my breath away.

Besides our amazing still green grass in February, I saw the walking paths glowing orange.

The sun was ready to set, and I zoomed back in.


Just as it set.

The sun disappeared.

I tried to zoom in on the orange paths.  Obviously, not their normal color.


 With the sun behind a hill, the color started to fade.

One last little show as the last of the sunset lighting highlights some clouds.  I returned home to finish my blogging.

What an unexpected treat.  Some sailors somewhere will be delighted.
