Jan, I'm glad the yearly migration of snow birds has started. It's nice to look at a sunset without ice.

Gary:  Thanks, come on down ... we have plenty of sunshine to go with those sunsets.  Visit us anytime!

Jan-You really have some beautiful pictures.  This one is just breathtaking.  We've had our share of cold these days, but I've lived in Utah my entire life, so I'm completely used to it.  Enjoy your Florida weather and don't get too cold.  

Hi Jan:  Yeah, wintertime, I hear ya.  It's wintertime here in Fort Worth, too.  Seventy nine degrees yesterday, and then today the temperature plummeted all the way down to seventy-seven.  But, don't get jealous so quickly... the weather forecast calls for temperatures in the sixties by the weekend.  I need to try and find my snow tires. <grin>

Jan, your picture is absolutely gorgeous.  It's one good thing about sunsets in Florida... that the sun will always rise just as beautirully the next day.  Jan, thanks for sharing.

HI, Julie,

Thank you.  I'm glad you liked the picture.  I've never had the opportunity to visit Utah.  One thing that AR has made me aware of is how limited my travel experiences have been within the states.  I've been to a lot of the big convention cities ... I've been to England and Scotland... but there are so many places I would rather visit .... just normal cities and towns where people live out their every day lives.  That is so much more interesting to me than all the tourist "stuff." 

Karen Anne:  You Texans have it so good, don't you?  I know that's God's country out west!  Don't know too much about those sunrises... Like you, I'm a night owl unless I can't sleep ... like this morning!

Jan:  What a beautiful way to start off my Monday!  I love Florida and I am so envious of your mom and dad!  I have been thinking about a condo myself in the Destin area.  We had snow here in Blue Ridge last weekend, down to 10 at one point.  But it is supposed to be 70 today!!!  With an ocean sunset like that to look at, who cares how cold it gets, right?!

Hi, Donna:  You're right... from inside the condo, it doesn't matter how cold or hot the temperature gets!  The view is ever beautiful and ever changing, and yet somehow always the same ... constant reminder of how amazing the world really is and how quickly things can change in life.

When you get ready for that FL condo (Destin or anywhere on the Gulf Coast) please let me know.  I would love to meet you when ever you come to the beach. 

Hello Jan,
A beautiful sunset.  The north has been sharing their "cold weather" with us too.  Our average lows for January is 34 degrees, we had 2 mornings last week in the mid teens.  Brrrrrrr!  Good news is we bounced back and yesterday our high was near 70 and promises to stay there for a few days. 

That is a beautiful sunset Jan! I get to enjoy those about twice a year when I visit Florida to show my horses.

Lisa

JAN-  ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! What a lovely reminder of God's beauty! Thank you for sharing. GBU!

Hi, Cynthia:  Glad your mild weather has returned .. NC is so beautiful anytime of the year. 

Lisa:  Thank you.  When you come to FL, where do you show?  If you are ever on the NW Coast of FL, anywhere between Tallahassee and Pensacola, please let me know.  I would love to meet you in person.

Elizabeth:  Yes, you are so right... only God can paint a sky like this one.  Have a blessed day! 

Hi Jan - You are so right. Florida has some of the world's most beautiful's sunsets. My parents live in Melbourne Beach and I always enjoy the sunsets when I'm down there.

Excellent picture Jan, I love the sunsets, it's my favorite time of the day. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Sandra:  thanks for reading and commenting on the sunset, and also thanks for the email earlier today.  Looking forward to reading more and getting to know each other better. 

Hi, Vinnie, thank you... for reading and commenting on the sunset.  Have a great week! 

Jan, I recently commented on a post by a visit to Southern California by somebody from Michigan. She mentioned that she left 20 degree weather behind to find 60 degree weather here. I told her that we think of temperatures in the 60s as COLD. I guess we're spoiled. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Bill Roberts

Hi, Bill,

I heard that y'all (Southern English) were a little bit spoiled out there in CA, but I didn't want to say anything about it :) ... Hope you are enjoying a good start to the new year.  Thanks for coming over to read and comment on the FL sunset.

I love sunsets and your picture is beautiful ! To me sunsets are so calming and can take you to another place !

Hi, Melissa,

Thanks for coming over to comment... and for the invite to your new group.  I'll click over and join right now.  Looking forward to a great 2008!

Jan, now I can say I've started my day by viewing a beautiful sunset!  Thanks for the beauty.

Hi, Elaine,

I'm glad you enjoyed the sunset.  Hope it made your day more beautiful... thanks for commenting!

Pretty sunset shot, Jan. I must say it's the first time I can remember seeing a show that is many repetitions of nearly the same photo. I was more impressed by the single photo shot than the repetitious slide show.

Sharon: 

How sweet of you to make such a positive and supportive comment on my post.  I must say that you surely do not watch many sunsets! The sun moves very slowly over a period of time and the repetitiveness of the photos that you observed in the photo show is a result of the time lapse of the shots I took as the sun was setting.  A very careful eye will observe changes in the photos as the sun is slowly setting.

You can advance rapidly through a real estate career, but you cannot rush the timeless work of God.  Take a break and watch a few sunsets when you have the chance.  Have a blessed and happy 2008.

Jan,

That's just plain wonderful.  What a great photo.

Mike in Tucson

Mike:  Thank you!  I'm glad you have taken the time to view the sunset, and I appreciate the positive comment.  Have a wonderful weekend! Be blessed.

Jan E:   Oh, Jan, you are so lucky to live in Florida.  When our winters start here, I long to be living on the beach watching these beautiful sunsets. 

I love the photo show that you created... Wow, 31 different shots.  Great time lapse... what I liked about your photo show is that you can also look at the slides and see the sun set.  Absolutely beautiful... and I have an affinity for your choice of music... Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.  Great job, gal.

Jan W:  Thank you, my friend.  Your comments are always so positive and uplifting... that's one of the best things about being in The Rain!  When it's winter in Tennessee... I miss snow in the Smoky Mountains! 

Thanks for the reminder of warmth.  I've been freezing since November.

Janeen:  thank you for reading and commenting on the sunset.  Nice to get to know you, too! Best wishes for much success through AR!
