The sun has made its farthest reach to the west in this photo and now that summer solstice has arrived it will begin its journey back again to the left in the photo above. I have been indoors during this magic hour most evenings because it is after dinner and dishes and I have put my feet up. But the red in the window caught my eye and even though I had just changed into my nightwear I put on sandals and hurried down to the dock to capture such a lovely sunset. (At my age I no longer care if neighbors catch me in my jammies. It is an honor to be the subject of gossip rather than forgotten.)
The menhaden have started their dance up into my small finger of the river. They are small fish that flash silver when they flip to swallow more plankton for dinner. They swim in ballet groups of dozens and we saw several of these groups. Next, they will be followed by those that eat them. It is a constant drama.
There was a soft breeze that swept away the heat and humidity of the day and there was an added bonus of no biting flies or mosquitoes to distract from trying to keep the camera steady.

Glad to share my blessings on this day.
Beautiful colours, I am love with number one, stupendous.
ReplyDeleteGlorious, sunset! Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteNow you see why i love sunrise and sunset walks. Midday and midnight can be for sleeping, the sun rising and setting is for viewing.
ReplyDeleteBest tie of the day!
ReplyDeleteStunning sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteskies change very quickly just before and after sunset. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteStunning stuff. Pure color at it's finest there just to stir our imagination into another dimension. Jammies...mine aren't worth speaking about, so I wear Muumuus. Those baggy ruffled dresses that the Christians forced on the Hawaiian women...they are marvelous for rushing about in our fogs. People stop me and ask where I got it. Now then, I just ordered a second one. :) Only 36 bucks off Etsy. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am glad you ran out in your jammies to capture those photos:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteOh! Such glorious beauty! Of course you had to go out, even in jammies!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous sunset. jammies or not I'd have been out there too. days will be getting shorter but temps here at least will continue to climb til September.
ReplyDeleteSuch astonishing color! Our sunsets on the pond are lovely but much more subdued.
ReplyDeleteThat sunset and your photos are just spectacular! I would have been mesmerized in place until the last bit of color melted from the sky. I share your views on not caring on occasion to being seen in my P.J.s if it conveniences me. We're more clothed than if we wore bathing suits.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics of that great show you had! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice photos !! There must be a beautiful place !!
