When I left my daughter's home after this past Sunday's evening meal, there was not even a smidgen of color in the sky. About three minutes later, as I turned a corner toward my home, I saw this beautiful sunset. I pulled into a shopping center's parking area, rolled down my car window and got this shot. The photo is as it came from the camera except for minor cropping. Ain't Nature grand?I had intended to post more photos of the raccoon's nest which was in the tree recently removed from my property, but decided that it could be another post entirely. Besides, this sky is much prettier.

My Sky Watch Friday posts
It is well known that we Portuguese once sailed the seven seas searching for new lands, wealth and adventures.
We were brave in those days and gave the world new worlds!
Luckily I don’t have to sail the big oceans on a small ship to sea the wonders of our world …
No Sir, I just need to check with Mr. Tom, the finest host there is, for a trip around the world with SKY WATCH TOURS and with a click here, a click there I am quickly in the USA, England, Brazil, Italy, China, Australia, Finland … well, everywhere.
And on each stop I come to see a little marvel of our world under a great sky!
Hope you can come and see my piece of the sky at lenses & visions
Gosh you just about beat me this time. Nice photo.
I think this is going to be the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on.
I really admire your photography skills and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.

Good grief, I owe you a huge apology. I picked up the feed for your site and haven't seen a post since May. Trouble was, I just realized that I had picked up the feed for the comments to a May posting. I am mortified with stupidity and ask your forgiveness. I have been checking regularly and wondering why you weren't posting. So sorry Pat, and I will be stopping by regularly you can be sure.
Your Skywatch post is lovely!!
