When I first arrived at the bird walk at Myakka River State Park last night, it was overcast and I did not have high hopes for a decent sunset. The crepuscular rays shooting from the clouds interested me and I thought maybe they would become more pronounced. Wrong.
Within a few minutes, the rays disappeared. But, then…the smallest pinprick of tangerine appeared in the clouds. And began to grow….
Mother Nature started to get pretty moody…
…and just like that...a pinprick of tangerine burst into a big flaming ball of orange and red. Wow!
As the sun sank, a brief transition to salmon and lavender began.
Within moments, this is all that was left along the Myakka River.
That's my kind of Friday night show! Happy weekend, everyone!

That flaming red ball was worth your patient wait. Spectacular!
I've done this exact thing many times. And over the years I've learned to be "camera ready" as when that sun starts down it moves very fast and if your camera isn't ready you're going to miss it. Beautiful work here!
And there it was, from start to finish, spectacular is not enough to describe your photo, every one.
Wow indeed!
The first photo with the rays is gorgeous!
Gorgeous! The colors are fantastic!
Watching a sunset never gets old. So beautiful!
A wonderful show indeed!
Think, "wow", doesn't even do these shots justice.
Gorgeous! Some of the best sunsets require some patience...and yours was definitely rewarded here.
