Homage to sunsets

The late summer to fall season is usually filled with glorious sunsets. Each is a unique fleeting moment that cries out to be captured on film (despite the fact that some of those "unique" moments look very much like others!). The pictures are often a pale comparison to the real thing, but during the past couple of months, I managed a few that I thought were nice. Our sunsets are rather self contained compared to those of say... the Southwest. But... they still satisfy this old moss back. :-)

These first three were taken over a two day period and from the same group as the one used for the header on this blog.

Some clouds were starting to move in the next day. I think I'd spent this day working outside and this was the frosting on the cake.
The following are from September-October.
Taken after we returned this past week... the leaves have dropped from the birch trees. Winter can't be too far away.
