Sunsets and Mirage!!!

The sunsets and sunrises have just been AMAZING the last several days.....weeks.  Last night I ran out to get a photo ----- took about 4 shots and then came back to the trailer only to look out and realize that I should have stayed and gotten more !!!!

These first ones are sunrises.....  We aren't always up as early as we should be --- but when we are --- we wonder why we would ever want to lay in bed when something like this is occurring.!!!

 

 

The following are from last night. That is the hill where our Purewater CRC used to be located - just south of  the hill.   Now it's where Dan and Sheri Tinant live.

 

 

 

 Such gorgeous colors.....My camera is not lying!!  It was GRAND!!

This morning we had a knock on the door...... I was vacuuming with my little portable vacuum.  I opened the door to Dan..... " you sure are making a lot of noise".   Then he told me that I better get out there and take some pictures of the mirage.   YES ---- I have never had my camera with me when I saw them before.  They are so .......strange..... amazing.....crazy......  I really don't think the pictures I got will let you  see what I saw......  but maybe you will be able to make it out. 

Those "hills" are NOT there really.  That's the mirage.   The first time I saw this phenomenon we were living at my Aunt Melva's.....and as I looked to the west --- it was like a forest had grown up overnight.  I had NO clue what it was and it almost freaked me out  because I KNEW those trees didn't belong there!!     This happens on a beautiful sunny morning.....and then it is gone just as suddenly as it appeared.    (OH --- that blob in the sky --- is something on my camera lense :(

Anyway ----- hope you enjoy some of the beauty we get to enjoy living out here on the Prairies.     They talk about snow for this area on Thursday.....more to the south and east of us.   But -yes - winter is coming......we certainly are enjoying the fabulous days we are having right now!!
