Last night Robert came running in the house and told me to bring the camera outside. I slowly grabbed my camera thinking it would be another bird shot. Whenever there's a "good" bird shot the bird flies away as soon as I get out there. To my surprise it wasn't a bird shot but a most gorgeous sky as the sun was setting. These shots are taken from my backyard with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8. Enjoy!

We've had some lovely sunsets the last week or so. I just went outside and the weather is perfect. I might go for a midnight bike ride, its so nice out.

Fabulous! Looks a lot like the one I took photos of on the 12th. (You haven't seen that essay yet, I don't think.)
I'm so jealous...I would have to stand outside...watching...until the sky ended with stars

Wow, beautiful shots! In my neighborhood, the trees always block the sunset. My mom gets so mad because she can't take any pictures of the sunset!
Marianne R. Nov 15, 2008, 7:53am EST
Gorgeous sky shots! Wow!
Wow, glad you got out there to see that beauty!
John S. (arizona) Nov 15, 2008, 9:31am EST
Arrrgh... looks like I missed another great sunset! Those are wonderful pictures, the color is so deep(?). I need to get out more, LOL.
"......thinking it would be another bird shot." .... this cracked me up by the way.
I'm frequently yelling at Kim to come look out the kitchen window to see a another "new" bird feeding, and she rolls her eyes at me from the comfy couch with that look of "it better be worth it" ha ha.
Take care.

Beautiful Shots. I used to go to the lake with my hubby in the evenings while he fished.
I loved to watch the sunsets over the lake.
