Silhouette Sunday - Desert Style

I love sunsets in the desert. It feels as if we can see so very far with no mountains in view. We saw an amazing one during a hike on slickrock slopes. We'd gone there with the hope of getting photos of our runners in the sunset light. Alas, there was no sunlight at sunset due to a sky full of clouds. However, those clouds painted an incredible picture when the sun went down.

The clouds began to glow faintly in the perfectly silent world. Then, within a couple of minutes, the entire sky turned brilliant orange.

The peacefulness of that sunset reflected our whole trip - the desert was completely serene and silent.

Here, the sunset was turning red. Shyla was so patient with me, standing perfectly still with the sunset going wild behind her.

Soon, it was beginning to fade but was still gorgeous.
We had such clear and sunny weather during most of trip that we saw only this one colorful sunset. It sure was a glorious one!

  2. What an absolutely glorious post of your girl glowing in the sunset. Stunning.
    I enjoyed your story about Shyla's TP caper.
    Very wise about putting the pups out of harms way. Never thought about that but no worries this way.
    We hear way too many times about law enforcement incidents when they are at homes unexpectedly especially with outside animals.

  10. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
