Another one of these evening views that lifts my heart.

Big sky
I love the evening vistas that we sometimes get in Sequim. Here’s a recent view that I thought was lovely.

First there were the clouds
A brief, beautiful sunset Thursday evening. Gorgeous colors. Beautiful clouds. Really beautiful!
After a short downpour, by 11 p.m. the thunder and lightning started. We don’t get much of that around here and it’s usually brief. But we got plenty. What’s notable is that it kept going. I woke up to spectacular lightning and plenty of thunder early yesterday morning and it rumbled and flashed all day, mixed with the occasional cloudburst. And we were still seeing lightning 24 hours later.
And the weather forecast? Coastal fog and sunshine.

Sunset
Sunset has been lost in overcast and fog lately. So it was nice to see the unhidden sun celebrating another day recently. The newspaper reported yesterday that our sunsets have been unusually colorful because of smoke from wildfires in. . .Siberia. Prevailing winds are coming from the west and the smoke is high in the atmosphere, giving our skies extra color in the mornings and evenings.
Pink sunset
Mother Nature sometimes adds a nice touch of color to shades of grey.
Grass pattern
Autumn grass before it was beaten by wind and snow.

I’ll take color where I can find it on an otherwise dreary day.
