Saturday's Sunset 10-01-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Saturday.  It's always a good day when it's Saturday and when the daytime ends with a beautiful sunset, that is just the proverbial "icing on the cake"!  It's even hard for me to think of something to tell you when I'm looking at this photo because I just feel so relaxed and back in the  moment of being there that I'm just lost in the feeling.  To me, this feeling is what I think of whenever someone describes the art of meditation.

I hope your Saturday was sensational and came with a beautiful sunset.  I thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Cruising Into The Sunset 03-09-16

Hello and happy Wednesday.  Today, I think I'll just cruise on into the sunset.  This was taken on our recent cruise as we were leaving Cozumel.  As you can see, lucky for me, we weren't the only ship leaving port that evening. 

I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday's Fly By At Sunset 01-22-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Friday.  Today, here in my part of the South, we had a little bit of snow and a lot of ice.  The day was gray and, although I did take some photographs, I didn't get one that I really liked, so, I looked back to last week at the beach.  The beach at anytime is a great place to be, but a mostly secluded beach with seagulls flying into the clouds at sunset is even better!

Nowadays, when I find myself out at sunset, I think of the quote "I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in" by John Muir.  John Muir was a writer, naturalist and philosopher (among other things) who lived from 1838 to 1914.  John Muir founded an environmental organization, The Sierra Club in 1892.  The Sierra Club is still going strong today with more than 2 million members and has contributed to the passing of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act.  If you Google John Muir and/or Sierra Club you can learn so much more than I can give here.  You may even want to join the Sierra Club!

In the meantime, I hope you had a wonderful Friday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Saturday's Beachy Sunset 01-16-16

Hello and happy Saturday.  I hope you enjoy sunsets.  I know I do.  We took a drive to Myrtle Beach today after working around the house. We arrived later than we wanted, but early enough to capture some lovely sunset photos.  This has been a great day for me.  Almost all my Saturdays are great days, surrounded by family, friends, and today, the beach!

I hope you had a super Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Wednesday's Sun Setting 11-04-15

Hello and happy Wednesday.  It 's "hump day" and this sunset announces the slide into the weekend.   Of course there may be clouds overhead, just like it's been cloudy and rainy here for the last three days.  Maybe by the weekend we will have clear skies and warm weather.  Well, if not, we can always have a warm and sunny heart, right?

I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Monday's Magnificence

Hello on Monday.   This is another sunset from an area near my home.  I actually used my sunglasses over the lens to get this look.  I wanted a photo of the sunset as I saw it through my sunglasses and, well, my camera didn't know that.  I think it turned out rather nicely if I do say so myself.  A good sunset is just so enjoyable that I hate to see the sun disappear.

I hope you had a magnificent Monday.  Thank you for looking.  Enjoy your sunset.  See you tomorrow.

Monday's Sunset Through the Storm

Happy Monday to you all!  I'm thinking that, after a long day at work, I just might swing my way into the sunset, never minding the storm clouds overhead.  Everyone needs a little fun in their day, right?  Even if it's after a storm or even if there are storm clouds looming.  

What's your fun at the end of a long, hard day?  Is it swinging, is it music, dancing, being with friends?  Go ahead, make it happen.  You deserve it.   Just remember, when you've had a long, hard day - and maybe you're even exhausted and you just don't know how you can do even one more thing - remember to put a little fun in your day.  You don't even have to actually DO the fun thing, you can just imagine yourself doing the fun thing - and smile.

I hope you had a great Monday.  I hope you made a little fun for yourself.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunday's Sunset

Sometimes you see a spectacular sunset and you just have to photograph it - even if you are in a moving vehicle.  Fortunately for me and other drivers on the road, I was a passenger; but still it was difficult getting a picture I liked while we were moving and there was no chance for stopping.  I also couldn't get the power lines out of the way.  Still, it was some special sunset for me.  

Sundays are special no matter what the sunset looks like.  I hope you had a good Sunday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday's Sunset Beach

Happy Friday to all.  As the sun sets this Friday I hope you have fun.  This particular sunset is from Myrtle Beach, SC.   Some wonderful sun rises and sun sets seen there.  Only a few people do not love the beach.  There was a time I tried to understand that but I've been working on myself to stop trying to understand others and just become accepting.  I'm finding that being accepting takes much less energy and I am better able to enjoy the things we do have in common.   Besides, that leaves more room on the beach for me and my loved ones.

I hope you had a wonderful Friday.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I hope wherever you are that you have beautiful sunsets.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Friday's Sunset

I know you've been busy all day working toward the weekend.  Congratulations, you made it!  This is today's Tega Cay, SC sunset.  We had been out all day and were ready to get back home.  But, when I saw how pretty the sun was we took a detour to the "beach".  To the left we could view the actual sun setting, but there was also a "cloud" coming from the nuclear plant across the lake so I ruled that out.  It was still pretty though, just not what I wanted to show you.   I find myself staring at this photo and getting lost.  I can enjoy the Friday sunset as long as I want.

I hope you had a wonderful Friday.  I hope that, no matter where you are, you enjoyed your sunset and now are enjoying mine.  Thanks for looking.  Have a great after sunset Friday.  I'll see you tomorrow.
