Sunsets this time of year are short lived. You see the lovely colors glowing, and before you know it, the sun sinks rapidly into the water, and is gone.
I took these pictures about a week ago. I was up by the bay, and was trying to focus on a tree that I liked, when I saw the light quality change.
I turned to my left, and saw the sky glowing red. It only lasted a moment when the glowing sun dropped quickly.

As I was telling Arija, it's amazing how similar our ever changing skies are! These are beautiful and look remarkably like Seattle skies. I guess it really is "one world" isn't it? Thank you for the beautiful look at your skies!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my fav .. I love the composition ..

Hi! These are breathtakingly beautiful. Lisa
ReplyDeleteIt's been interesting to see how many of our skies have the same beautiful colors -- wherever. These are lovely shots, Bobbi, thank you as always for sharing the beauty!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about sunsets being short lived. We had a great one the other night. I went inside to get my camera. By the time I came out - it was gone.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Ralph

JoAnn greetings
Nice, bobbie - you can almost hear the sizzle as the sun slides into the water!
ReplyDeleteThose sunsets are especially beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. They are so calming and neat in some way.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and happy skywatching:-)
Fleeting yes but oh so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of the changing skies. It happens so fast we can almost miss it happening...nice capture!
ReplyDeleteShort lived, but you got it!
ReplyDeleteBobbie these are lovely sunsets. I particularly liked the glow cast onto the grass and trees with the sunset. It warms everything in the picture.
ReplyDeleteYou were not too late in capturing the glorious sunset. The color is very rich.
ReplyDeleteOh bobbie! Glad you were there and that you had your camera!
ReplyDeleteNature is truly beautiful! Happy weekend! Hope you get time to visit my corner too...
ReplyDeleteNo doubt about it, you can just about watch it move when it gets that close to the horizon. Coming up or going down! Back in October when I spent a good deal of time catching both sunrise and sunset over the ocean I was stunned at how rapid the change was.
ReplyDeleteGreat job catching the phases!
Gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing lately too that I have to be quick to get outside. Sometimes I just forget the camera and enjoy. :)
The sky is always a source of inspiration, isn't it. I guess that's why we love the Sky Watch meme!
ReplyDeleteI've found that participating in memes in such simple, fun way has actually helped me to be more aware of what's around me.
These are wonderful. Especially as we contemplate winter. Nice that you were able to capture this fleeting sunset.
Nice - it's amazing how well you captured the first hint of changing light in that top photo.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the sun setting in the skies. I never take photots, I just don't think of it!
ReplyDeleteWOW - these photos are amazing. The changing views are beautiful. Great pictures and beautiful sunset.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe third photo is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat one is my favourite.
I so envy all you people with such great photographic skills.

ReplyDeleteYou certainly have to be quick on the draw to catch it before it flits away. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYour sunsets are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYes in the last few minutes of sunset, the colors change very fast. In winters at your place it must be faster.
