Sunset out the back door!

 Sitting doing comments on my blog list and looked out the window to see this ever so orange/red sunset about 8.30pm remembering our days are becoming shorter as we head into late summer, grabbed my Canon Camera and headed to the back door.  The photos are the result, and I moved further into the yard and captured a rainbow included in the sunset over the next door house to the east. 


Above, looked south west. Below, looking east.


Below, looking north west. Sorry about the hydro wires but that is how it is.

  1. Hello Margaret,
    What beautiful photos of the sunset!
    The days are getting longer here, and thankfully, the cold is less.
    This week they're reporting 15 degrees Celsius, while we were just above freezing for a few months.
    Spring is coming, so wonderful.
    I wish you a wonderful week.
    All the best, Irma

  10. Isn’t that absolutely gorgeous? Thanks for these pretty skies. We had snow again last night but only an inch and the good fellow who got up this early this morning to plow our roads deserves our thanks :) Have a great week Margaret!

    1. I don't want to be using the phone for photos all the time Jan, so I keep the camera on the computer desktop these days for handy grabbing.

    1. Thank you and did it in haste as I knew that rainbow might disappear quickly.

  17. What a beautiful moment to capture! There’s something so special about those late-summer sunsets when the sky turns that deep orange and red. I love that you grabbed your Canon and didn’t hesitate — and catching a rainbow in the middle of it all makes it even more magical. Thank you for sharing these photos; they really make you pause and appreciate the beauty right outside our windows.
