Cooler nights and colourful skies

Winter has returned with its cool fingers - the days are glorious, warm and pleasant but by late afternoon the mercury drops and once again the heaters and fires are activated to keep the chill away.
With the contrast of temperatures the clouds have been eye catching - and when that happens the setting sun paints them with reds and gold. This evening was one of those "ooh" moments!

Looking almost north the sky between our palm trees shows the colour of fire. The clouds are not large but numerous enough to give plenty for the fading sunlight to bounce off.

Looking west to where the sun disappeared (a little bit north of west) the sky is absolutely stunning. Strong reds tonight. Does that mean it is going to be a good day tomorrow? It is always a good day tomorrow!

I wonder what will attract my eye tomorrow - you will have to wait and see!

  1. When we get sunsets and colour like that we call call it a sailor's delight. Not sure why as we don't do much sailing in the prairies! lol
