There was sun dogs in the sky last evening but by the time I got my camera, the mini rainbows of the sun dogs had faded away as the thicker clouds moved in. And those thicker clouds this morning are dropping huge snowflakes again but at least there was a pretty sunset last evening.
Sunset Before the Snow
The majority of very cloudy days have made it hard to get colorful sunset this winter and if there are nice sunsets, I am too chicken to brave the cold.
Pine Tree Sunset
Cloudy and foggy mornings have prevented seeing the some sunrises, but some days the weather clears by evening for some colors to paint the sky.
Winter Painted Sky
The sun sets over cranberry marsh as harvest winds down for the season.
Cranberry Sunset
The colorful leaves are hard to see after the sun goes down, but the clouds add some colors for a brief moment before darkness descends until morning.
Moments Before Darkness
Every sunset and sunrise is different, although some days they may be very similar without much variation or color, but then other days the light reflects off the clouds to give an red, orange, purple or pink glow to the sky.
A Pink Reflection
Scattered clouds on the horizon near sunset creates some beautiful rays of sunlight as the day approaches night.
Radiant Rays
The Labor Day weekend is often referred to as the end of summer (even if not the end of astronomical summer yet), but apparently the maple trees think it is autumn as leaves started to turn last week since they heard it was meteorological autumn already. So I guess it is the end of summer (even if the dew point is 73 right now and doesn’t fell like autumn yet).
Start of Autumn Sunset
As meteorological summer winds down, soon the corn fields will turn from green to brown until harvest as fall marches towards winter.
End of August Sunset
Every sunset is different; from ones with no clouds and little color, to cloudy ones with varying colors or completely hidden due to clouds, which probably will be the case this evening with possible rain showers.
