Many times I'm sitting at my computer and can look out the huge double window in my sunroom. As I look through the branches of the big old oak tree often I catch a glimpse of the sky and know a sunset I wouldn't want to miss is about to happen. Traces of pink in this image were enough to make me grab my camera last Thursday as I was looking at Sky Watch posts and head outside.
Reaching my front porch this was the view over my front yard.
Waiting patiently I was soon treated to this beautiful pink sunset. Having lived almost thirty years in the city I know how lucky I am to be able to witness the beauty God spreads before me at my own front door.

Indeed, you are the lucky one to get such beautiful paintings to look at!
ReplyDeleteOh you are lucky to live in the country and look through your sun window! What a beautiful sky out there!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF!
You have a to-die-for view all right! Love the soft pinks you caught behind the branchs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Isn't it wonderful to be able to see the skies so near and so clearly? We live up high and have such breathtaking views of the sky. These are marvelous shots! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to look out a window and see such beauty.

Oh, so beautiful!!! They don't come much nice than this, just different.
ReplyDeleteYou made my heart smile when you shared that story about seeing a sun dog and telling your hubby. These are beautiful shots of an altocumulus sky on fire... they look like little cotton balls. Great shots, Carletta!
ReplyDeleteOh!! Just beautiful!! I love that first one best- with just the hint of pink~ and the promise of what was to follow!
ReplyDeleteI'll have some sky shots up late tonight but nothing this spectacular!!

Beautiful color on this pictures, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCarletta, I do the same in the morning. I'm up well before first light and as it dawns my head autonatically lifts to inspect for colour possibilities and cloud potential. I grab my camera, and, dressing gown flapping race along the house and down the drive a bit to miss the immediate trees, then stand and freeze while I document the wonderful light show.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos.
The pink in the last photo is awesome.
ReplyDeleteCarletta: I agree that you are lucky to have this view and then get to see it go into a great sunset.
ReplyDeleteThat was great that Becky noticed the Kent company and thought of me.
Hi Carletta, wish i live in a place wherein i can look at a beautiful sunset anytime. That's a lovely pinkish sky.
ReplyDeleteHappy skywatch!
Some of these cloud colors are so beautiful this time of year. You were lucky indeed to be able to capture these gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF.

Beautiful ! Your view out of your window and mine look quite similar, strange !
ReplyDeleteA nice series that shows up the effect of the progression of a sunset on the clouds very well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your sunset with us. Good to visit with the old Sky Watch Crowd. I guess I'll watch for some good ones here and make a guest appearance. Pappy :)
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are just stunning but the last one is my favourite. It is just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies. Yes, it is much harder here in surburbia near a small city to catch a wide open sunset. So wonderful that you can share your pinked skies with us.
ReplyDeleteI love how a few minutes seems to recreate the whole world -- beautiful! have a wonderful weekend, Carletta. :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! Stunning shots!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome day, Carletta!
This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh OH OH---I love to watch the sky and be rewarded with great colors like you were. MB
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I was thinking : how lucky you are that you have a window with a view on the sunset sky through an old oak tree. But you lived in the city, so you know so well what it is like to have no such window. Crossing thoughts :-)
ReplyDeleteI love pink skies! Beautiful shots of a beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so soft and tranquil!
ReplyDeleteReally great captures!
That is most definitely a "pretty in pink" outfit the sunset is waering. Lucky to to catch it! Lucky us that you're sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky you saw that night! We also live in the country and LOVE it. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch great shots. Love the colors of the sky when it's like that. I can't see much of the sky from my windows. :-(
ReplyDeleteA good capture, the pink sky is beautiful, what a great view from your home.
ReplyDeletePretty! We've had gloomy skies for a while now...rumor has it we'll be catching a glimpse of the sun on Moday...yippieeee!
ReplyDeleteGlorious!
ReplyDeleteand your sharp eye and patience surely paid off
thanks for sharing!
Perfect in pink... :O)
ReplyDeleteHope you are well..... :O)

These are really pretty. I love the soft colors and the flowing branches in the first one and the last one is really beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteGod certainly has blessed you to be able to step out your front/back door and enjoy the beauty He has created around you. This was a lovely picture with the pink.
ReplyDeleteThese are all just beautiful. How nice that you have that huge oak to look at out your sunroom window!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Carletta!
