1. Ah, the magical time. Sunsets always make me feel lucky to be alive.

The colors are simply awesome, humbling at what only nature can do, but also somehow redeeming.

We're blessed, you and I, to be alive!

:toast:

4. My dear NYC_SKP!

It was the luckiest of chances...I just happened to look out the window, and see it!

I literally ran down the hall to this room to get the best view!

Five minutes later.....it was gone...

Thanks, sweetie!

:hug:

5. Exquisite!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Nance!

Ah, are you?

I prefer to see it, not be out in it!

I did have to go outside to take these, but just onto a balcony.

Glad you had a moment to come by, and to enjoy!

Thanks, sweetie...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear applegrove!

I wanted to show off the clouds the best way I could...

11. How absolutely beautiful!

I particularly love the last one, framed by a pine branch on the left and a palm tree on the right. Gorgeous.
Gee whiz, how bad can winter be in California be when it's framed by palm trees? (I ask as someone who was born in North Dakota and gets through cold dank Philadelphia winters as well.) Thank you, Peggy.

12. My dear Demoiselle!

Ah, I thank you!

Winters down here at sea level are really nothing like snowy days elsewhere, and believe me, I appreciate that fact!

I would have a very hard time, esp. at my age, lol, getting used to ice and snow. :scared:

Glad you enjoyed these!

:hug:

13. Love that last one

Nicely framed, really odd cloud patterns in the center there. Frame it!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear omega minimo!

If it weren't for the wires...'

I suck at advanced photoshop techniques, alas...

But still, I thank you!

The storm is blowing away, and left these clouds in its wake...

[omega minimo]

16. I don't mind the wires at all

and I'm qualified to endorse the photo for show or sale or framing. :hi:

edit;
on second look, I noticed the wires and a second vantage still has them nicely arcced, low in the photo, leading into the nice dark silhouettes, including the electricity poles in the low background.

What's not to love? We live with the damn wires, dammit. Don't PS me, bro!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. OK...I'll take that!

And what qualifies you to endorse my photo???

:shrug:

:hi:

[omega minimo]

Thanks, sweetie...
