Best Sunsets of the week

I’m cheating Ippose, but then who is keeping track of when I post and in what order?

We’ve got house guests from Michigan and have been busy wandering around snapping photos of this and that and there has been little time to get the photos loaded onto the computer, much less edited and posted.

But tonight’s sunset prompted the posting of this first one on October second.

We had been chatting in the back yard and then did our usual move to the front balcony to watch the sun go down in the west.  My in-laws were quite impressed with the view and the afterglow that silhouettes Mt. Taylor some 70 or so miles away.

We love the big sky.

I almost missed the show tonight.  I’ve been here 3 years and I still have not gotten used to how quickly the sky changes, especially as the sun is setting.  I looked, thought that things looked promising, and sat down to watch a bit of TV.  In the window behind the TV I saw a faint glow and jumped up and ran for my camera.

Both of these are taken with the long lens, but at least I’ve got something to show for it.

It’s a small slice, but a nice one.
