I recall, as a little girl, my Mom calling us all into the living room to look at the sunset and enjoy the beauty together. I still find myself doing the same …. calling anyone around me to enjoy its’ beauty and say farewell to this day. Why, I’ve been in conversation with a complete stranger and realized that Mother Nature was creating a painting for us and the show would only last a few moments. Stop. Take in the beauty. Be present!
And of course, I’m almost never without a camera. Here’s a few photos I’d like to share with you . . .
One of my favorite photos. No PhotoShop here. A 360 view, in Alaska, of course!
California sunset with tree silhouettes.
Back in Alaska, watching the tide come in and enjoying the view.
Sky on fire! Amazing! I watched this sunset until the last bit of color vanished into the darkness.
What a show!
I am always amazed at the different shade and hues. No two alike.
Sunset during forest fires. Ominous and eerie.
My habit …. to enjoy the sunset in the present moments it is available to us and be grateful for the beautiful colors, shapes and textures, then, to capture it on film for future moments to remember its’ amazing beauty.

Wow! Gorgeous images and lovely thoughts 🙂
Are you signed up for Deepak’s new mediation challenge, by the way? I am going to do the first meditation tonight 🙂
All the best! x
Thanks Miss M . . . yes, signed up for Deepak’s Desire and Destiny. I did it earlier today. Thought for the day: Who am I?
Did you like it? I look forward to getting started (once baby’s asleep!)
It was very good. Looking forward to the next 20 days.Hopefully I can do it consistently.
Me too! I was so hit and miss the last time around, but loved the first two challenges, so I am sure if I make time and plan well, I will enjoy this one just as much 🙂
Beautiful…..I’m addicted to sunsets too 🙂
No two ever the same!
Alaska looks incredible in your photos.
Alaska is incredible. We lived in Southeast where it rains more than it snows and the climate is more temperate. Sometimes it would be raining all day but when the sun set, it would clear up and the day would bless us with sunshine and beautiful colors and hues. I highly recommend everyone experience Alaska in their life time.
Thanks for stopping by. Always appreciate your photography as well.
