'tis that time 'f year

United States
December 7, 2019 5:04pm CST
Nah, not referrin' to the holidays, which'd be obvious. 'tis the time 'f year here when fronts 're comin' 'n goin' which quite oft means sunsets with vast beauty 'n colorin'. Mother Nature whips out her paint brush 'n palette, then quickly sets to work. 'n e'er changin' venue to drool o'er 'n a short span 'f time. Jest when ya think the 'magic' 'tis fadin', she'll surprise ya with somethin' new. 'lways a good idea to've a camera handy'n 'xpect a delay'n e'enin' tasks. Horses 'n feral cats wait somewhat patiently whilst I stop'n my tracks with hopes 'f recordin' such beauty fer all time. 'n to share here with folks who've 'ppreciation 'f such.

That's a wonderful view, I wish I had something like that but my neighbors to the east block the sunsets. I'm not up early enough to catch sunrises, anymore I just wanna sleep in.

i can 'nly get such from the pasture these days, which's better'n none. the sunrises're now blocked by folks'n their trees/buildin's. 'nless one gets'p early 'n drives 'bout a mile 'n waits with fingers crossed fer a purty sunrise, ya jest aint gonna capture such. i hear ya'n sleepin' later. unfortunately the horses 'n ferals like their meals'n a timely manner, lol.

@crazyhorseladycx The sun seems to set so quickly at this time of the year doesn't it? I don't know if it really sets quickly or if we just enjoy the beautiful colours so much that it seems quick.

I'm glad they're patient. It's a beautiful picture. I agree, Mother Nature, God, paints a great sunset/sunrise when there are clouds in the sky.
