With my backyard sunset I am linking up with Skywatch Friday
While watching the sunset from my deck, I could hear the Cardinals. Cardinal sounds were coming from all directions.
Zooming in, the colors of the sunset looked more orangy than the pink in the previous photos. My photos were all taken within minutes of each other.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my pretty sunset and skies. Skywatch Friday is one of my favorite memes, I lov seeing beautiful skies from around the world. Happy Skywatching!
Thanks to the hosting group of Sylvia, Wren, Sandy and Fishing Guy. And I always appreciate and enjoy your visits and comments on my post. Have a safe and happy weekend!!

Hi there - what a great sky. I think these are what my father sued to call 'Mackerel Skies' - the stipes look like those on the side of a fish!

Those skies are lovely!
Are those last night's skies (12/14/11)? We had beautiful skies that I got some snaps of too (last night) and I just wondered if we were looking at the same time :)
I love sky watch and would be so happy to have this stunning sky out of my yard. we have to many trees between us and where the sun goes down, we get a little but nothing like this. beautiful ducks down below.
gorgeous. love the waves of the clouds. :)
Hi Eileen...My these as gorgeous...it is amazing how fast the sun sets isn't it..don't hesitate or you'll miss it lol!
I like them all, but I do really like the second one with the rows of pink cotton looking clouds!!
You are lucky to have so many Cardinals..I have some that come to the feeders, and it is always about sunset you hear there song!!

What a beautiful sunset! I like the picture of your cardinal too.
Beautiful captures! The cardinal is so pretty.
those rippling clouds are amazing!! beautiful sky-shots!!
love the cardinal too...funny how you still have cardinals there?? ours have left i guess for the winter...i haven't seen or heard them in a while! i guess if they make their home in (north) FL...and the temp gets below 60...they head farther south??!!
Beautiful sunset. It's amazing how quickly the colours change.
Oh Eilen questo colore rosa nel cielo รจ meraviglioso !

I love those wavy pink clouds! You have a beautiful view from your back yard!
Beautiful pastels heightened by the red Cardinal!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
A beautiful collection Eileen. Soft cloud tones contrasting with the silhouttes of trees; rippling clouds that remind me of sandy ripples on a beach; absolutely exquisite shot of the Cardinal, and what seems to be an angry sky. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Beautiful Eileen!!! I hope you will consider sending me an email about what you are grateful for to add to this year's gratitude word quilt. It will be posted on my blog on Dec 31st. I am collecting expressions of gratitude from around the world. Enjoy the weekend's skies, blue, grey, or filled with a pallet of many colors!

What a gorgeous sky, I love the second photo with the ripples in the clouds. It looks like Mr. Cardinal was enjoying the sunset too.
Glorious sunset shots. The shot of Cardinal is great.
I love the fact that the sky can change dramatically in a matter of moments! Lovely shots, Eileen.
What a brilliant set of captures. Outstanding work.
Thanks for sharing this view. Very beautiful, as ever!
Such beautiful skies! Love the ripples in the clouds.
Good clean air and a good eye make these sunset photos extra wonderful. Those jewel-like ripples!
Beautiful colors! One nice feature of this meme is that you do not have to travel far to get a photo.
The 2nd pic is very beautiful and unusual - my favorite!
Nice sunset pictures Eileen - like those layers of pink clouds that look like pillows.

Wow wow wow!
An absolutely wonderful sequence of sunset skies. I particularly like the roll clouds, one sees them so seldom. Really lovely.

Wow!You got some real pretty backyard sunset this week.
Great shots. Gorgeous sky and cute cardinal. You always bring nature to life.

Spectacular sunsets, Eileen! We love watching sunsets in the winter since we can actually see more of them without the leaves on the trees.
Gorgeous sunset, Eileen.. The 2nd one is awesome --with those colors.
That is also a fabulous picture of Mr. Cardinal. He posed so nicely for you.
Hugs,
Betsy

Lovely shot of the cardinal! That green background really shows him off.

Your backyard (and I think I may have mentioned this before ;>)) is simply Paradise. That sky -- and all those cardinals -- just heaven.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
