Painted like a giant watercolor, the sky is awash in orange and lavender. The clouds are varied, from misty fog bank to lightly scalloped eddies of wind-driven moisture. The tree silhouettes are the western edge of my yard, a scene familiar and dear to me. Over nearly a quarter of a century, these trees and I have grown a lot, side by side, together. They are like family, providing a backdrop to my existence.

Thank You!
Trees – such lovely and trustworthy life companions. 🙂
Yes, they are! 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you, Sue. Barely holds a candle to your sunrises! 🙂
They’re not mine 🙂 I only get to watch 🙂
I love the comment about you and the trees both growing!
We are a team! 😉
“lightly scalloped eddies of wind-driven moisture.” You are one fine writer, Eliza. Oh yes, the photo is a glory.
Barbara, you are so kind – thank you!
A cotton candy sky and this shot is absolutely breathtaking!
Thanks so much, Dor. I love when the sky does that! 😉
Lovely 🙂
Thank you!
Oh, so beautiful! And you have grown together – even more beautiful.
Thanks, Kathy. Trees are so often taken for granted, but what they do for us is huge!
How nice to be able to mark your growth by the trees 🙂 Though I suspect you can’t quite measure personal growth the way you can that of a tree.
Lovely sky, btw!
Thank you, Heather! No, there are no recognizable markers on personal growth, except maybe wrinkles and gray hair! 😉
Wow – fabulous shot.
Thank you, Fi, I was in the right place at the right time!
What a lovely family, Eliza! And such a breathtakingly beautiful shot! Lovely sunset in a winter sky.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
I love trees as well, Eliza….. They are such a comfort….their steadfast presence…. -M
Yes, they are steadfast, you’ve nailed it!
Breathtaking view!
Thanks, Ana. It is lovely watching the day end through the veil of trees.
Somehow you have captured a feeling of patient omnipotence. It is more than a sunset. It’s a reminder. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for that wonderful comment, Micheal!
Such a beautiful, magical scene. The trees are reaching for the sky.
Thanks, Robin. I love it when the sky does this!
just lovely—-you are truly blessed to have lived with that as your backdrop through life…+ I know you are thankful each day for it:-) because you are one of the “wise ones”:-)
Thanks, Robbie. I do feel blessed in so many ways. 🙂
Stunning colors dripping from the sky over your beloved pines.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes, wet paint! 😉
So lovely and poetic!
Thanks, Bernadette!
