We’ve been living here almost exactly 3 years now; it will be three years in a week and a half! Time files. Sunsets seem to be most intense colors this time of year, the sun is staying up a little later and has moved a lot farther north on the west horizon. Lots of cloudy weather helps to contribute to sunsets.
Tuesday's sunset
Wednesday morning we woke up to a white yard again; a mixture of snow and hail fell during the evening and overnight. It didn’t last very long but it was a little surprising to see that winter was still wanting to hang on.
Thursday's Sunset
Thursday the sky was almost on fire with intense and bright yellow light ringing thin clouds. It was a simply gorgeous sky but it didn’t last very long. It was a cold day.
Friday it was a very wet and rainy day, occasionally the house would be surrounded by a white fog bank and we couldn’t see anything. It was a cozy feeling actually.
This evening the clouds lifted after the heavy rain and hail, while the sun was setting. The sunshine was bouncing off the mountains to the east and creating this really neat light on the mountains across the vallley. It looks like velvet carpeting the hillsides.

All of these pictures were taken with a slight telephoto lense, trying to catch the colors and textures that so intrigue us.
The view of the sky and the mountains seems to have an incredible variety in colors. It so nice to see something other than snow and cold shadows cast by the conifers. Spring!!!!!!!!
Really extraordinary sunsets–Beautiful!!!
