Sunset from Hug Hill

On a recent evening, we'd planned to go out to dinner but the fire danger made us reluctant to leave the dogs alone. So, we decided to have a picnic atop Hug Hill instead!

We hiked up, and arrived just before the sun dipped below the mountains. So, I had to take some some photos of Shyla in the sunset light.

I adore that light!

Then, as we ate our dinner, the clouds lit up as the sun fell below the horizon.

The colors gradually got darker.

Just before dusk, only a shimmer remained on the edge of a cloud.
It was a relaxing way to spend an evening, with us humans together with our Labraduo! It was so nice that Mother Nature put on such a gorgeous sunset for us!

    Glorious glows, and the clouds as the sun sets, so beautiful. I hope the fire danger gets les and life is safer for everyone there.

    The sun surely loves the Shyla and we kinda like the idea of a family picnic with such beautiful view.
    All we have around here, even in parks, is cars and we aren't high enough to see sunsets like that
    I could not leave the pups either with those threats hovering around you

    Shyla looks beautiful in that lighting, and the clouds are just magnificent.

    Happy Father's Day to your Dad.

    A beautiful sunset and perfect lighting for fun photos is the perfect ending to a day at home.

    If the fires are near you, stay safe my friend!
