With little clouds in the sky this evening, the temperatures dropped close to zero rather quickly. And since it is cold, I don’t think I will be sitting outside to watch the meteor shower.

The cloudy, rainy, and snowy day prevented a pretty sunset or even a nice day to walk along the beach since the wind chill was in the teens all day.

Many were enjoying outdoor activities with the above normal temperatures today. And it may be the last warm day, until next spring, to sit outside without a jacket and watch the sunset with the high temperatures dropping thirty to forty degrees in the upcoming days.

The end of September brings the sun setting almost an hour earlier than the beginning of the month and the sunset will continue getting earlier for several more months. The waters of Lake Superior will get colder and the sun may glow off of ice instead of water.

The cool waters of Lake Superior would feel nice on this warm summer day.

Clouds over Lake Superior can add some different colors in the sky as the sun dips below the horizon. The summer sun sets more than 35 minutes later on the western shore compared to the southeastern edge.

The summer solstice today marks the beginning of summer and is the day with the longest amount of daylight hours. I was to have 15 hours and 36 minutes, although the rain today seemed to shorten the daylight, but it cleared in time for sunset. The amount of daylight varies by location and the South Pole had zero hours today while Utqiagvik, AK had the sun up all day long. Other cities like New York has 15 hours and 6 minutes, San Francisco with 14 hours and 46 minutes, and Miami with 13 hours and 45 minutes.

The trees are just beginning to bud out so soon the sunsets will not set over bare limbs until late fall again.
End of April Sunset

The critters seemed to have like the sunshine today as much as I did. The ducks were swimming in the pond instead of wadding through snow. Deer were grazing in the field, turkeys were strutting around and the rabbits were hopping across the lawn. Chipmunks and squirrels were chasing each other while the birds were chirping as my cats kept an eye on them. And at the end of the day, the critters disappeared into the darkness as the sun dipped below the horizon again.

I almost posted a picture of the poor geese getting snowed on this morning. They were probably wondering why they came back so soon even if the rain melted the ice off my pond. It was a wet gloomy day but just as the sun was setting, there was a break the clouds to give some color and light to an otherwise dismal day.
