Series: Take a Moment and Enjoy a Sunset

It’s time to take a moment and enjoy a sunset!

This three-photo series is from the end of the sunset on December 29, 2018.

The clouds were wispy wonderful.

Sunset over Cambridge Creek – December 29, 2018

As an added bonus at the end, the sunset produced a bright sundog.

Sundog

The icing on the cake? The sundog’s reflection on the water, accented by sailboat masts abstracts.

  Thank you, Jerry! Me too, I’ve never seen a sundog reflect on water before. 🙂

The beauty of the sky and the reflections in the creek make this a double photo!

Nothing beats a good sunset unless you add a sundog and reflections! 😊

That tree is so well-centred, always something to see in the different seasons. Nice to see a sundog and I love the reflections most of all.

  You see what exactly I saw with the tree, Jane> I was hoping for a better ‘sunburst’ at it, but I still liked the sun’s location. It is neat to see where the sun keeps setting, especially when the ‘big’ swing shifts it.
