Sunset and Silhouette Sunday

Our sunsets have awed me recently.

High winds make the clouds string out into long thin lines. It makes our familiar landscape look otherworldly.

The one thing that has made me sad is that my usual silhouette model, Shyla, has been in no shape to clamber on boulders. This sky was calling out to me for a silhouette photo!
But, then I realized that R used to sometimes be my silhouette model. I thought that he could remember the routine. So, after I saw the sky in the photo just above, we walked very fast to a good boulder for silhouettes.

Indeed, R remembered the routine, and he was *thrilled* to be the dog who was the silhouette model. Fortunately, the phenobarbital had Shyla sedated enough that it didn't occur to her to be upset that R was playing her role.
It's fun to mix up our normal routine sometimes! Happy Silhouette Sunday!

  5. Those are beautiful sunsets! And R is a great model. I'm already missing my Arizona skies, so these are very nice to see.

  9. We have seen some pretty pink sunsets here this past week, but they pale in comparison to what you have there. Good for R, but we hope to see Shyla back up there, maybe along with him, next week:)

  17. Oh my ...... how beautiful!!! And thanks for the tip about keeping hydrated for Raynauds. I never drink enough water. I have been trying to drink a lot since reading your tip and can't tell if it is helping the Raynauds (its not so cold here now) but I have noticed it seems to be helping my arthritis. I do have good days and bad days with it so maybe it is just that but I will continue to drink heaps and keep you informed on how it's going.
