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!!
Such a beautiful sky, these are wonderful shots ..

ReplyDeleteHi 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!

ReplyDeleteAre 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.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. love the waves of the clouds. :)
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
ReplyDeleteI like them all, but I do really like the second one with the rows of pink cotton looking clouds!!

ReplyDeletelove 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.

I love those wavy pink clouds! You have a beautiful view from your back yard!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pastels heightened by the red Cardinal!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
