The colour of sunset

During a chance encounter on the boardwalk this past week, my granddaughter and I met a young man who had taken photos of the sunset that evening. I had picked up our eldest grand-girl from band practice and we had noticed the beautiful red-orange sky. However by the time we stopped on the way home, the light was gone.

The young man, Nick S., saw us taking photos post sunset 

and shared his beautiful sunset photos with us.

It is with his permission I share the four photos here.

Nick took his photos at 4:28 pm.

Fifteen minutes later, this was the scene.

The ripples on the sea show the slushy ice on the water.

The hint of colour is all that remains.

The next evening, my husband and I walked in the bitter cold at sunset 

as the sun slipped below the horizon. 

The bay was iced over that evening, and the orange hue lingered above the horizon behind the lighthouse. 

In other news, this past week was a busy one with Christmas shopping on the agenda. While I’m not finished, I have a good start on the shopping and managed to get parcels sent via courier. I will finish this week if all goes according to plan.

We also had a great day with our grandchildren when we did our annual decorating of the tree. We had hot chicken sandwiches for supper that evening and cranberry sauce made the menu as well. One of the girls loves making the sauce and really enjoys it with chicken or turkey. R made an ice cream cake for dessert which everyone enjoyed.

The kids each have specific decorations they look to hang on the tree. We talked about how they will divide their favourites among themselves when Nanny and Poppy no longer need them. They will keep our tradition going.

Have a wonderful week everyone!
