The weather was downright balmy (11C/52F) the last 2 days (we had a couple of colder days than that in Florida in December !). And those temperatures were achieved without the benefit of the sun, in fact, the skies have been mostly overcast for the past 2 weeks. That has meant that there have not been (m)any opportunities to capture a sunset.
Many of you are familiar with Scott's Sunset Sundays. I think Scott and Chad have the corner on almost-out-of-this-world sunsets. Since I haven't been able to capture one these past 2 weeks since we returned, I got this one from my Florida archives. I think that the Master paints these all over the world, for our viewing pleasure.

I love the pink colors in a sunset. Nothing can really recreate them.
That is a lovely sunset .. worth the wait me thinks! We too have had very little happening on the sunset front due to all the wet weather we have been getting for the last few weeks...today (at the moment) is looking promising however...if only those darn clouds will stay away.
WOW! Another beauty Rick, thank you for sharing this magnificent sunset. You are among the ranks of top sunsets on blogger, as I've always said there's 3 of you, you've only included 2 names and forgot to add yours to that list! :-)
Rick, You are too kind, but I don't know whether it's the altitude, or just the lake we use most of the time, or what, but Chad and I have both commented many times that we are blessed when it comes to beautiful sunsets. I enlarged yours to see beautiful detail and color modeling, a pleasure to view as always.
Yes, He is the great master! What an awesome God we have to call author of the Universe!
Yes,the Master does bestow such beauty on the earth,and for our enjoyment.Thanks for your encouraging comments on my blog.
Blessings,Ruth

Yes, he does & I l♥ve how he shows off, he does it so very well!!! =) And you've captured it very well, too!!! =)
Amazing photo and colours! :D
That is rather balmy, Rick! To usher in the New Year, we had lows of 5 to minus -1 degrees! But today it warmed up into the 30's.
But sunsets always warm the heart, no matter the temps.
Thank you everyone for your kind words - I appreciate them like Sasha appreciates our walks - they are refreshing for me and I covet them daily.
I'm doing a paid photography assignment this week which will encroach on my personal photography time, but it may lead to more 'work' (I find it difficult to describe something I love doing as work !).
I will still try to visit as often as possible.
