Oh no! This year went by way too fast! It seems like those sunsets came and went just as quickly. Why couldn't time have gone by this way when I was in grade school, watching the minute hand on that big old clock?

December 29th, 2010

What's nice this time of year is that I can have people for dinner, and still have time beforehand to check out the sunset.

December 26th, 2010

This was a day-full-of lovely-clouds day, so naturally I hoped to see a captivating sunset. Instead it turned dismal, so here is a more inspiring vista from my archives.

December 22nd, 2010

It has been a good week for sunsets, considering all the wet weather! There were several of us observers, all happy to see something besides gray.

December 19th, 2010

I almost didn't bother to go down to the harbor tonight, it was sooo gray and way too many clouds. But, after a pounding hail, the sky cleared enough to view this tempestuous sunset!

December 18th, 2010

Would this sepia-colored sunset be considered as a truly romantic setting? For me, the mood is exquisite....

December 17th, 2010

With the storm coming in tonight, we had only masses of gray clouds; however, this picture was taken this morning on the way to Coos Bay.

December 16th, 2010

Maybe this is a reward for making it through another day!

December 15th, 2010

A sunset like this is a blessing, in such an unpredictable world......

December 14th, 2010

This afternoon was lovely and sunny. Then it poured, hailed, and at the last, gave us a beautiful sunset!

December 13th, 2010

Storming weather did not hinder this lovely sunset......

December 9th, 2010

A non-sunset like last night. So here is another brilliant display from November.

December 8th, 2010

Tonight this is all there was at sunset time, as we drove home from California....

December 6th, 2010

On the way to the post office with my daughter this evening, we made a detour down a little dirt road off of Empire. I appreciated her taking the time out of her schedule to help me get my sunset.

December 4th, 2010

I remembered to keep looking for the sunset while we were shopping this evening. Nothing happened for the longest time, then 10 minutes of golden sky.

December 2nd, 2010

I won't have wifi tonight, so am pre-posting another sunset from last night.

December 1st, 2010

This was the day Teri officially adopted Tianna into our family. We think that this sunset is a very fitting end to such a grandiose occasion!

November 30th, 2010

Somehow I didn't get to my camera in time for the lovely start of this sunset; then I somehow quit before the whole sky lit up rose-red. But I did get the middle part....

November 29th, 2010

On our way to see the kids, we stopped at a fast-food place in time to see a city sunset. It added the perfect touch to our little dinner!

November 28th, 2010

While camping at Valley of the Rogue State Park this weekend, we were impressed by this sunset! So different than being on the coast...

November 27th, 2010

We are not going to be able to post anything this evening, so I'm pre-posting this recent sunset; I love being able to use some of these extra views!

November 26th, 2010

It wouldn't be possible for me to forget the sunset completely anymore. I may get engrossed in something and forget to check, but then I will think about it, regretfully. No doubt I'll be upset with myself when I hear what I missed!

November 25th, 2010

I have a miserable cold, but I set the alarm to wake me up at 4. And I'm glad I did....

November 24th, 2010

Turning pink was a slow process for tonight's sunset, so Tony and I had time to talk in the car (with the heater full blast!) while we waited.

November 23rd, 2010

Today we had snow at sea level, which is very unusual. Later, in the late afternoon, Tony had a chance to see a great sunset from up on a mountain. I, on the other hand, had to view it through heavy clouds. Not that it wasn't also lovely!

November 22nd, 2010

It was pretty exciting to witness a sunset this beautiful; even though I try to be there every night, I never get tired of seeing what the next one looks like.....

November 21st, 2010

This sunset was completely unexpected; it had rained all day! Isn't it worth it to at least make an effort to check it out?

November 19th, 2010

Today it rained, it hailed, it was blue skies. The bottom picture is at noon, a storm isolated on the horizon. And to top it off, another lovely sunset!

November 18th, 2010

The storm is supposed to continue through the weekend; I don't expect to see any sunsets more vivid than this. Which is OK with me.

November 17th, 2010

Can anything come close to this rose-colored reflection under this rose-colored Sunset?

November 16th, 2010

Our sunset took it's time tonight, one stunning feature after another. One of the boat-owners finally told me "It's over!" But he admitted there was still a lot going on, and commented on how beautiful it was.

November 15th, 2010

Pat and I were happy to watch this sunset from Kissing Rock. Just one more reason for living on the Oregon Coast......a perfect way for friends to end the day!

November 13th, 2010

Huge banks of fog obliterated our sunset this evening; this was taken on another foggy night, but in this case it only enhanced the view...

November 12th, 2010

Tonight was actually a more splendid sunset than I anticipated, judging the clouds this afternoon. This picture was a delight to photograph, along with plenty of others.

November 11th, 2010

Taking the time to admire this end-of-the-day beauty is a wonderful routine that I hope to continue forever....

November 10th, 2010

Gold and purple blend into an inviting sunset, washing away any remnants of today's anxieties.

November 9th, 2010

It was a miserably rainy day, but a few minutes before sunset the sky gave way to a tiny bit of blue and pink, enough to make a soft backlight behind Port of Gold Beach.

November 8th, 2010

I was so upset with myself last night; after all those fogged in nights, there was a beautiful sunset (I'm told) which I missed because of not being adjusted to the the time change. But today I paid attention!

November 5th, 2010

This sunset threw it's glowing beauty into the clouds, across the harbor, and straight to to our appreciative hearts.

November 4th, 2010

Yes, it is bad fog again! So Tony drove me up a logging road to get above it. That's the fog, down on the bottom of the picture. It was fun to see the sunset; sometimes it's easy to forget it's really there...

November 3rd, 2010

The color in this Hunter Creek scene taken last month is in total contrast to the heavy white fog blocking our sunset tonight!

November 2nd, 2010

The ocean mist softens a setting sun, while curling boughs of spruce encircle it.

October 31st, 2010

These sunset reflections in the water were also a reflection of my mood tonight; a complete relief from what's-been-going-on today.

October 30th, 2010

Sometimes a sunset paints it's own picture.....

October 29th, 2010

It's a little after 5, and I'm getting kind of excited; after so many cloudless, or too densely clouded nights, it looks like there's going to be an extra nice sunset tonight! We'll see, within the hour........ Yes!!, and you wouldn't believe the pictures I took! What fun!

October 27th, 2010

This sunset is a later phase of October 2nd. Even the act of retrieving it from my unorganized archives brings back the fun of watching what kind of color it would reveal next!

October 26th, 2010

All the clouds are to the East today, beautiful white rounded mountains of clouds. The ocean is frothing huge white waves, throwing whole logs up on the beach. The day was enjoyably mild, as was our sunset.

October 25th, 2010

I'd fallen asleep on the couch, so had to rush to get down to the beach. Friends drove by and said I'd missed the most gorgeous part of the sunset......which I didn't want to hear! But, as usual, it was worth the hassle to see what I could see.....

October 24th, 2010

Rain is here, but I checked out our sunset anyway. The dark clouds were hanging over a small crevice of sunset. Who would think that this lower picture could progress to the second in 10 minutes!
