(Heading home for the evening.)
The sun and sky threw a big party yesterday evening and they invited almost all of the colors of the rainbow to join them in their celebration. It was a stunning sunset.
A flock of geese flew by, adding their music to the celebration. Just as I thought it couldn’t get any better, it would.
This morning’s sunrise was almost as stunning. I was in the kitchen just after my early morning yoga/meditation practice, heating up some water for tea, when the sky lit up in a multitude of colors. I stood and watched. It was one of those times when I wanted to be in the moment rather than capture it (with the camera).
(Wide view of the pond and the sky.)
You’ll just have to take my word for it (regarding this morning’s sunrise). Have you ever noticed that sunrises frequently have a similar look and coloring as the previous night’s sunset?
Today’s outdoor time was all about errands and chores. The wind has been all bluster and noise for the past 24 hours, with gusts up to 45 mph. A cold front is moving through this afternoon, and the temperature has been dropping. We’ll go from 40s to the teens by tonight.
No music so far today. I’m in the mood for silence. I will pop in a CD later. Something soothing, I think. It’s not a day for harsh sounds.
(Just before darkness settled in.)
That’s about it from the Bogs for today. Here’s a little something to celebrate the day:
For a person like myself who loves bright colors, you couldn’t have given me a better valentine’s gift. Thank you.

Robin, I saw a very small part of the sky above the house roofs last night. The colors were amazing. I’m so glad you captured it in photos. This is very lovely. I love what you did in the last photo. Beautiful!

I don’t want to read anyone else’s comments before I leave mine, because I’m pretty sure I will be repeating what has already been said, but what stunning, gorgeous, amazing color!! How nice of Mama Nature to treat you to those beautiful colors and how nice for you to be able to capture them!
Wow, what a color show Mother Nature put on. It doesn’t get much better than that!
