Dusk clouds feeling poetic

The clouds were in a poetic mood this Sunday as the sun was setting.

These three birds literally got a "birds-eye view."

I don't know if that qualifies as a pun, but it was definitely intended.

Bright, streaked sunset is followup to Hurricane Harvey

This was taken in Beaumont about three weeks after Hurricane Harvey came through Southeast Texas.  The unusual upward streaks were eye-catching.

A golden sunset sneaks through a week of rain storms.

Even through the rain and storms, this golden sunset found a way to brighten a fading sky.

Sunset flowers play with sun's rays

Cloud catches ducking rays

Riding home sky splash

Just riding home and the sky presented this view to me.

Into the heart of the sunset

Driving home into the heart of the sunset.

Stalking sunset leaves trail of color behind us.

 Another look at the sunset that was stalking us on the last leg of our trip back from Dallas.  This was on FM 105, I believe

Sunset grabs attention

This was Thursday's sunset -- it kept drawing my attention while I was driving home. I finally had to pull off the Interstate and get my camera out. The sunset did not disappoint.  I just wish I had stopped earlier.

Sunset: Subdued brilliance

The sunset last night was somewhat subdued and brilliant at the same time.  There were few sharp edges since the clouds were so diffused.  The crepuscular rays were almost faded away when I pulled off the road to shoot this shot.

The day is done

Put a bright, colorful streak across the sky -- the day is done.

Golden sunset fills your eyes

This golden sunset assaulted our eyes on our Alaska cruise this summer.

Golden sunsets fill your eyes .. Alaska

On our Alaskan cruise this summer, this was a favorite pastime out over the open waters -- watching the sun have its golden way with the clouds and water before it pulled it's dark blanket over it all and went to sleep.

Sky-fire sunset overwhelms camera phone

I was taking my dog out for a walk in the crisp air the other night, when this last bit of sunset exploded overhead.  My phone camera could barely contain itself with excitement  -- not that he knew what to do with color this bright and bold swashbuckled across the sky.

Sun settles,but Bolivar bay stays awake

The Gulf sun slips slowly into the bay behind Bolivar Peninsula as a boater silently slides his craft into the dock.  The salty smell of the breeze and its icy effect on our skins gave a sense that the sun had run its daily course, but the bay was not ready to sleep.

The glittering Bolivar sunset

Linda and I took a drive down to the Bolivar Peninsula the other day and just drove along the beach to enjoy the cool, breezy sunset.   The beach did not disappoint.  I donned its most glittering, glistening outfit for the occasion.

Stretching time

Stretching out that last hour of daylight driving, travelers push in to the heart of the sunset down I-10 near Lake Charles, LA.

Red lights suspend sunset chase

Driving into the heart of the sunset down the I-10, held up only by red lights.

Sharp. Distance, Sunset

How does that Yes! song go?  "Sail on, into the heart of the sunrise... Sharp. Distance." This is the I-10 version of that, sunset-style.

Live sundown stage

The Beaumont, TX,  downtown skyline appears as dark stage props against the glowing sunset. "...all the world's a stage."
