Stormy Sunset

The sky this night in July was very ominous and gave the outdoors a strange orange glow.  It was beautiful!

Sometimes there are very pretty sunsets that we watch while we have our backyard campfires. This was during one we had this week.

Summer Sunset Storm

Eddie and I went outside to have a little campfire for a while.  Skies were blue and there was no wind.  We looked a bit to the northwest and there was one big storm cloud slowly moving over the top of us.  It was very interesting how the sky became black over us but under the storm were bue skies and a pretty sunset.  I loved the contrast.  We stayed out until we saw lightning.  We got a few sprinkles from it, but that's it.

Sunsets

Last night my husband called me outside to see this beautiful sunset. I love how the puffy clouds in the distance look like they are on the ground. I have always loved watching and photographing sunsets. I took many sunset photos when I lived in Hawaii and Florida. I also have several from locations in New York and anywhere I may have seen a beautiful sunset. Someday I will scan all of them and have them for projects such as note cards. They are all from the days of 35mm cameras and I do not have them all scanned transferred to disk yet! That is a project to tackle when I get time.

In high school and college I decorated my rooms with posters of sunsets and photos of sunsets that I had taken. When my husband and I were dating, the first time around, I visited him in Naples,Florida and he knew I loved sunsets. He took me to the Gulf of Mexico to see a beautiful sunset. In those days, he wasn't really romantic, and while I walked the beach and enjoyed the beautiful view, he sat in his truck. I still have the photos I took on that day. Now, more than 25 years later, he sits and enjoys the sunsets with me!
