We are lucky enough to see some beautiful sunsets off our balcony. I took these shots a few months ago and was struck by how the clouds resembled cotton candy.
The mountains are just right of center. I love seeing them with snow in the winter.
That tiny dot of white light is most likely a small aircraft.
The colors are fading here, but still some lovely shades of pink and lavender.
Great weekend, everyone!

Pearls & Prose 
Didn’t get to see the sun since week. you’re lucky though.
Beautiful pictures.
Thank you, and welcome!
What a glorious view, and the clouds DO resemble cotton candy. Kate periodically captures fabulous sunsets in the Hill Country – and occasionally I try to capture sunset lit cloud reflections in the lake. Every sunset is different – and each sunset has its own personality, doesn’t it? Love that time of day !
They really do, Susan. I think the best one I ever saw was up in Laguna Beach–the sky was bright red with orange and yellow streaks. We were hoping it would happen again the next night, but no. They are unique, as you said.
That’s quite a dramatic sky.
Someone once told me you can’t bank on a sunset and it’s so true. When it looks like the sunset will be a dud, it can change in a flash to something like this one. And vice versa.
So lovely, Carole!
Here in NYC the winter sky is my favorite. The light is an amazing shade of salmon and it bathes the Chrysler Building in the most beautiful reflections.
Thanks, Jackie! I would love to see that light on the Chrysler Bldg. Have only been in New York during the winter for one day and it was snowing, so the sky was white.
Lovely soothing images, Carole. I found your thought interesting as cotton candy clouds, interesting observation. Laguna Beach is not far from where I live in San Clemente. Have a great weekend with more beautiful sunsets, they are gorgeous at this time of the year.
They really are. We used to go up to Laguna Beach quite often and passed San Clemente on the way. 🙂
Maybe some time we can meet?
I would like that.
Wow, gorgeous sunsets and unbelievable colors!
Thank you, Ann!
