10. My dear Lex!
Oh, thank you.......

We don't always get those colors, either.......

And I was so lucky to have seen them in time!

Because they last such a brief time, alas......

It makes us treasure them, though........:hug:

25. Of course, they always go so fast
Sometimes the sunrise is gorgeous like that, and I am urged to call someone on the phone and tell him to look out the window. Then I stop...

and think...

and realize that if he is not already up and looking at the sky on his way to work, he wouldn't appreciate my phone call at that ungodly hour.


Sunsets are usually safer

Today was quite gray and overcast here in Minnesota, my son and I were watching for snow to start falling as we messed about on the ski slopes.

24. Sunset is an angel weeping...
...Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward...

(Pacing The Cage)


Thank you, Peggy, for sharing your
beautiful photos! :hug::loveya:

31. if that first one was any purtier
