Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.
Like River I generally run with a theme. One evening this week the sky seemed to catch fire as the sun went down, resulting in a much more vivid sunset than we usually see. Joy and bliss.
And such a useful sunset it was too. I also used it to illustrate my latest post at Vision and Verb. As some of you know, I am a collaborator there and post with them once every three weeks. It was such a privilege to be invited, because the other collaborators are SUCH talented women. If you get the chance, come and visit...

Sometimes it's nicer to simply enjoy, ignoring the scientific reasons for it.
ReplyDeleteLovely views you have, m'dear.
dinahmow: Often it is nicer to simply enjoy...
DeleteWhat a gorgeous, molten sky!! Such a gift to be able to see and share. The second and third ones are my favorite, they look so other-worldly! But they are ALL stunning!
ReplyDeleteLaloofah: That, coming from the master(mistress?) of sky photography is a compliment indeed.
DeleteLOL, thanks for the exalted title! :-) Our skies should get 90% of the credit, my camera 9.5%, and I'll take what's left merely for making the tiny bit of effort expended to look outside, grab my camera, point it in the right direction and push a button. :-)
DeleteThis sky of yours gives Wyoming's best a run for the money, believe me!
Amazing sunset. Framed so well between the trees.
ReplyDeleteAlways see you at Laura's and thought I'd stop by and say hey.
Alex J. Cavanaugh: Welcome and thank you. I will reciprocate shortly.
Deleteexquisite. thank you.
ReplyDeleteCindi: It was an amazing sky.
DeleteMagnificent.
ReplyDeleteManderley: Thank you.
DeleteOooh, so pretty. Lucky you to have been there to witness it. Lucky us that you shared it!
ReplyDelete*Totally* off topic (sorry!), but I can't seem to find your email address to ask directly, am wondering if would mind telling me about Ditropan? Just got some (hooray!) and was curious about how long it took to work for you, and if you take one or two pills daily. Also, any side effects? Many, many thanks!
Ms. C-P
Ms. CrankyPants: I take Ditropan morning and night - and it has made a very, very big difference. And did so quite quickly - about a week I think. Good luck. Side effect - very, very dry mouth. Not really helped for more than a few minutes by drinking. Dry mouth toothpaste and mouthwash.
DeleteThanks!! About to take my first dose...
DeleteThat looks blissful indeed. Lovely pics! I will check out your other post too.
ReplyDeleteRiot Kitty: Thank you on both counts. It was an amazing sky. So vivid, and it lasted for a few minutes at maximum intensity too.
DeleteNothing like a sunset. And 'that' is one hell of a sunset!
ReplyDeleteWendy aka Quillfeather: It was, wasn't it? Normally I prefer dawn, but this was amazing.
DeleteLovely images of a beautiful sunset, EC.
ReplyDeleteHold your head high and accept you were invited to be part of Vision and Verb because you are a talented woman. :)
Lee: Thank you so much. I do still feel a bit of an imposter though.
DeleteAmazing photos
ReplyDeleteDon QuiScottie: It was an amazing sunset.
DeleteStunning sunset, thank you so much for sharing it. We have so many trees around us that we have to make do with brief glimpses.
ReplyDeleteCarol: Lots of trees is a decided plus just the same.
DeleteOh wow, what a superb sunset! I love the way the tree silhouettes frame the scenes. Beautiful EC!
ReplyDeleteKaren: Thank you.
DeleteStunning colours! Thank you, EC - these are great shots.
ReplyDeleteAlexia: And thank you too.
DeleteThat is one spectacular sunset! I looked at the pictures again and again and suddenly the second last one jumped up at e and I wondered why. So I looked and looked again and finally saw that it is that the clouds at the top are a little darker thus setting off that spectacular light to even better advantage.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the analysis.
Arija: It was a much, much more vivid sunset than were usually see, perhaps because it happened shortly after a brief rain storm. And you analysis was fine - thank you.
DeleteA perfect end to my day seeing your beautiful sunset.
ReplyDeleteLinda Starr: I hope your day was wonderful too.
DeleteBeautiful! I haven't seen a sunset like this in person for years.
ReplyDeleteExcellent article at Vision & Verb, by the way. You made me think :)
jenny_o: It had been a long time since I had see one even close to as dramatic either.
DeleteI can only say that while I am traveling, there are some posts I will read but not comment, but yours are never in that number. I love your pictures, your stories, and your life. You somehow give my life something it would never have otherwise. I am glad to see you posting these beautiful sunsets, EC. Loving your presence in my life. :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan: What a truly lovely thing to say. Blushing here.
Deletenice sunset
ReplyDeleteAdam: It was.
DeleteGreat Sunday Selections. At first I thought you had posted pics of our Western Australian sunsets!!! Only joking, they are beautiful and I'm so glad yours are as good as ours....well almost!! I never miss your posts as they are always wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMimsie: Another person who wants me to get a swollen head today. Thank you so much.
DeleteI can't imagine you ever having a swollen head. You are too down to earth for that to ever happen.
DeleteMimsie: Thank you. I really don't recognise myself, but the wonderful things you and DJan said have touched me. A lot.
DeleteWOW! I haven't seen a sunset like that in a long time! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTeresa: Neither had I. Magic.
DeleteOh my - I love that stunning sunset! We've had very few good ones this winter.
ReplyDeleteladyfi: Wasn't it amazing? Much, much brighter than we usually see.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning photos EC. Hope you are keeping well. xxx
ReplyDeleteKakka: Thank you. We are muddling along here - how are you?
DeleteGorgeous colors! Looks like liquid fire.
ReplyDeleteLaura Eno: Thank you - that is a brilliant description.
DeleteI can't think of a better adjective that Gorgeous for that glorious sunset.
ReplyDeleteLynn: It really was.
DeleteThe sky certainly is on fire in those first three images.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!
River: An amazing sight, and I am so glad I looked up and out at the right time.
DeleteFantastic skies there, those colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDeniseinVA: It was just so dramatic, and beautiful.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning! And you can see this from your house? How wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSunset is my favourite time of day, I would be spellbound watching one as beautiful as this :)
Vicki: These photos were taken from the road at the front of the house. Trees in the backyard meant that the view was not as clear.
DeleteI love sunset but as a rule it is dawn which has my heart.
Gorgeous! Love sunsets :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to see you at your other spot.
Carol Kilgore: Thank you - on both counts.
DeleteMy dear friend,
ReplyDeleteSuch radiance in those glowing sunset photos. The sun sets and hugs the horizon. Thank you for this.
Sunny hopes, your way,
Gary
klahanie: The great outdoors. Wins me every time. And your description of the sun hugging the horizon was spot on. Thank you.
Deletegorgeous sky talk:)
ReplyDeletethanks for the beautiful share,
Jennifer
Jennifer Richardson: My pleasure.
DeleteSuch brilliant oranges. Very pleasant and warm in sensation (though I don't know how it actually is this time of year for you). Pretty cold and overcast here; would gladly trade for how I imagine yours is.
ReplyDeleteJohn Wiswell: Our days are still warm, but it is finally starting to cool down. For which I am grateful. Not to your temperatures yet, but cooling.
DeleteGorgeous sunset images! I'll jump over and check out Vision and Verb right now.
ReplyDeleteJennifer: Thank you. I do hope that you like Vision and Verb. Posts go up each day and are always fascinating.
DeleteStunning colors! This scene must have been a joy to behold.
ReplyDeleteRon Dudley: It was indeed a joy. Spectacular - and out of the norm as well.
Deletewow incredible sunsets, the colors are surreal :).
ReplyDeleteunikorna: Thank you. They were. And a joy.
DeleteJust.... stunning. Utterly beautiful capture of an idyllic sunset, E-Child!
ReplyDeleteKath Lockett: It was magic. Complete magic.
DeleteEach photo chronicled another few degrees as the Earth turned. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane: I hadn't thought of it like that - but you are right. Thank you.
