Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
I love this time of year when summer has turned to fall, and the sun begins to set earlier and earlier.
I was in my office when I saw brilliant colors in the sky and went outside to capture them.
It was near 7:00 pm, so I squared the photos and am sharing them with #SevenforSeptember.







We’ll have 12 hours of daylight today, with sunrise at 6:55 am, sunset at 7:07 p.m.
Then we’ll march towards the shortest day of the year in December on the winter solstice, when the sun will rise around 8:00 and set by 4:30, bringing sunsets earlier and earlier for my viewing pleasure.

wow what a sunset – these are stunning
Thank you so much! π
I adore sunset and often step outside at that time. Days are getting so much shorter where I live (sadly).
I love sunsets, too, and see the best ones during fall and winter when it’s still early and colors appear outside my door.
Gorgeous colors. Got to say, I don’t miss it getting dark at 5:00pm!
Thanks, Graham. Honestly, I don’t mind it, since I get to see so many more beautiful sunsets!
Beautiful photos! Nothing beats the colours of a sunset!
Thank you! I was amazed at the variety of colors in this one.
Very beautiful sunset photos, Susanne! Well done. β€οΈβΊοΈ
Thanks so much, John!
You’re welcome! βΊοΈ
Wow. Beautiful photos. I especially like the last one.
Thank you! The colors were amazing!
Lovely colours indeed. It was dark here last night by 7:15, but we had no nice colours to enjoy first. The evenings are going to start to feel very long now. No doubt I will be going to bed much earlier than I have been.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. Crisp and cool here this morning. Fall (autumn) has definitely arrived.
Those clouds are beautiful! And yes, I guess the silver lining of the shorter days is having sunsets in the afternoon π
Thanks, Sarah! I like those early sunsets in fall and winter!
I love autumn so much! Itβs just beautiful. I donβt even mind the darkness.
Me too. π
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one enjoying earlier sunsets. Sometimes, I feel so alone amongst all those complaining about the night falling earlier and earlier.
One of the best things about fall and winter!
