We've had a dearth of sunsets here lately, and as I've noticed from some blogs I was able to visit, we're not alone in this. Seems the April showers baton was handed off to May, and although May did produce the promised flowers, you had to act quickly to grab the opportunity to shoot them. I lingered awhile this past week when I visited the village of Merrickville since it was one of those infrequent days without rain, and I was rewarded with this sunset.

Yes, sunrises and sunsets have been scarce lately. I'm hoping that will change soon. :)
voilà un coucher de soleil de toute
beauté ! des reflets dans l'eau, un ciel superbe ! on s'assoit dans l'herbe (si elle n'est pas mouillée !) et on regarde en silence !
c'est pas merveilleux ???
je t'écris en français pour que tu
progresses encore, lol !!!
bisous oranges comme le soleil, le soir quand il disparait derrière les arbres !
Hoi Rick,
Leuk weer wat van je te horen, wat een prachtige foto's heb je weer en zonsondergang of opgang is altijd fantastisch!!!
Wij hebben een warm en zonnig voorjaar gehad, maar ook wel wat koude en winderige dagen hoor.
Gisteren was het nog stormachtig en vandaag straalt de zon en is het 26 C heel wisselvallig dus.
Echt Hollands weer zal ik maar zeggen.
Groetjes hé en tot horens.

A rewarding sunset and a perfect not-phony HDR, I love it, Rick :-)
Greetz,
Joseph
Rick, this is simply fantastic! I love how the colours are muted yet vibrant at the same time. I'm not sure that even makes sense, but that's what I see. :o)
Thanks for the Monday morning pick-me-up! :o)
That is an excellent capture Rick!
Amazing photo.
Beautiful and charming landscape of sky and reflections deliciously warm. Greetings
Wow Rick. I really love this photo. It's so soft, and gentle. Definitely something I'd use for my desktop background! (:

Things are fine with me, only here to apply for a visa to Angola where I might be getting a job.
