Wordless Wednesday…Sunsets

 

Larry and I tend to see more sunrises than we do sunsets. It’s not that we turn in early but the way our home is situated, we are privy to only “portions” of the setting sun.. 

 

Last week we were in Lenexa, KS visiting family. As we were headed into a restaurant, I had to stop to take in this beautiful sunset. 



Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore



When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Mahatma Gandhi



The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.
Pamela Hansford Johnson

Being able to see the sunrise and sunset each and every day is a wonderful thing, they are all so beautiful.

Good morning Kathy,

My brother has always loved sunsets and that has always been a primary consideration in any house they buy or Vrbo they stay on various lakes. I love your photo of the sunset and good for you for stopping and taking advantage of a photo op! The quotes are all excellent and have never heard any of them before so learned something today!

Hi Dorie Dillard Austin TX what was funny is that our friends and Larry were heading into the restaurant and then realized that I was back taking the pictures.

Good morning, Kathy... that is a beautiful sunset... no wonder you stopped to take a picture! Even I, who never thinks about taking a pictures, could well have stopped to do so.

Nina Hollander, Broker there are times when I'd love to let others take the photos so I could enjoy the real thing. I've learned to do both.

Good morning Kathy. Our new home has an eastern exposure for our balcony. Allows us to see the sun rise and have tea after dinner on the balcony in the evening. While living downtown we had two balconies on facing west and one facing south. Always had a place to sit. Sunrise? Sunset? Choose the one you like best. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin We get sunsets but often the trees are in the way. This is when I wish I had a drone.

Living on the east coast of Florida I do miss the beautiful sunsets that occur on the west side of the state.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I hear you!!! When we walked on the beach at Delary, we had spectacular sunrises.  Our friend has a condo and is high enough to see the sunsets.

Hello Kathy - the Tagore quote you selected nicely underscores the message in your post. And the accompanying feature photo fits well with the theme too.

Hi Kathy,

That is an absolutely beautiful sunset.  The way that our house is situated on a lake, we never get to see the sunrise like you do, but always the sunset

Jeffrey Richman When we bought in FL we learned that our back needed to face east otherwise we'd get that very HOT FL sun.

Hi, Kathy Streib that is a beautiful sunset. The midwestern skies can often put on a show.

Kathy, We're the opposite. Larry and I rarely catch a sunrise but try and catch as many sunsets as possible. Your photo and quotes are magical!

I can honestly say that I don't know which are my favorites - sunrises or sunsets.  Your photo is amazing, Kathy.

Absolutely beautiful, Kathy! I would have paused to snap a photo as well!

We tend to see more sunsets than sunrises and enjoy getting to the beach to see them in their full glory. 

Love the quotes!

Sometimes I catch a beautiful sunrise in my yard, but usually I'm not up in time. Sunsets we see more often and they never disappoint!
