There won’t be too many more sunsets over open water for a while as small ponds and lakes have frozen over already and with a cold week on tap with below zero wind chills, more lakes will ice up.
Sunset Over Open Water
Picture of the Day for October 26, 2014
Last Sunday a rainbow appeared but I was too slow getting to a nice scenic area to photograph it, partly because I was also watching and taking pictures the cloud formation which was bringing the rain for the rainbow.

As the sun was setting, there was several flocks of geese flying by on the horizon but they were flying north instead of heading south for the winter so maybe winter will be delayed for a bit if they know more than what the calendar suggests.

Normally I wouldn’t post a picture this poor quality as it was scanned in from an old 35mm slide, but today is my father’s funeral, who was known as one of the state sheep specialists and raised sheep most of his life, including his Targhee ewes in this picture.

Last Wednesday, near Outer Island on Lake Superior, 17 foot waves were recorded and smaller waves crashed the shores in the morning, but even with a stormy day, the sun managed to peak out just before it set, giving a red glow on the fresh sandy beach where the seagulls felt the mist from the smaller waves still rolling in.

With the rain coming down this morning, it is almost hard to remember the pretty sunset last evening, which is coming earlier and earlier each night as the long summer days had ended since fall is quickly approaching.

Nature can provide many magnificent events in one day; from a meteorite display high in the night sky, to a bright sunny day with puffy clouds on the blue sky and end the day with a colorful sunset on the western horizon.
August Sunset

Recently there have been a lot of popcorn type rain showers springing up, with thunderheads dotting the sky and providing a firework like display inside the cloud as the lightning appears to slam around the inside of it. My finger was too slow reacting to catch the lightning flashes but it seems odd to be watching it from a distance knowing it is raining a lot under the cloud while I remained dry.

The sunset last night kept reflecting off the clouds, changing their color and at times, reflecting rays up into the sky. But as pretty as the sunset was, just forty-five degrees to the north from the sunset was a thunderhead and there was lightning flashing all around inside the storm cloud. My finger was too slow, so I didn’t get a picture of the lightning inside the thunderhead before the lower dark clouds covered my view of it.
Sunset on Saturday
Picture of the Day for July 13, 2014
Last evening the rain ended as the fog was rising while the sun was setting and the colors probably would have glowed more reflecting off the fog and from all the moisture in the air, but with the growing army of mosquitoes, I didn’t stick around to watch the changing of the color at dusk.
