Sunset Silhouette October 25, 2012
Posted by nrhatch in Art & Photography, Mindfulness, Nature.trackback
On Friday night, we went to Bayfest and enjoyed the Porch Party on Pine.
After getting our fill of beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres, we walked down to the pier to watch the sunset.
Where we enjoyed the silhouetted palms and sunset beyond.
And spied a lone heron on the beach, ready to grab a snack from the surf.
Aah . . . that’s better!

What gorgeous photographs, love sunset!
Suzi, when you and Dirtman head south to visit . . . make sure to bring your camera. Florida is waiting for you. 😀
Nancy, your images are wonderful. Looks like a lovely place. Love that shot of the Heron. Wherever you see them they always seem alone.
Thanks, Don. Great Blue Herons are loners . . . and bullies. From Florida is For the Birds:
Then, there are the Great Blue Herons, the neighborhood bullies, who raucously protest when other birds dare to enter their L-A-R-G-E personal space. Although the Great Blues do not travel in packs, gangs, or gaggles, they have a gangsta-like reputation with other birds . . . who do their best not to intrude upon the Heron’s perceived territory as they move about the lagoon in search of their next meal.
Great Blue Herons are loners, and content to be so, unlike most of the other birds which congregate in large companionable groups, resplendent in diversity of both species and origins.
Fascinating Nancy – wonderful post on the link you provided. Thank you..
Thanks, Don. The view of the birds from our rear view window is always a treat for me.
Lovely!
I planned to sit out the “Silhouette” challenge . . . until I pulled these shots off the camera. 😀
What a disgusting view, Nancy! I don’t know how you could stand it!
😉 SO nice! 🙂
Isn’t it awful? Watching the sunset is a tough job . . . but someone’s got to do it. 😀
What a great view!
We are often awed by the views on and off island. Stunning place to live. 😯
I love how the heron photo turned out.
Twilight was in full bloom by the time I shot it . . . with just enough light to catch his silhouette.
Really gorgeous shots – *sobbing as I head off to run the rat-race*
Thanks, BB. Hope you can catch a few sunsets when the rat race slows down for the weekend. 😀
The colours are awesome!
Sunsets amaze me . . . they happen with ease, no paint or brushes required. 🙂
Looks like paradise. This reminds me – I need to get out there and get more sunrise/sunset pics. It’s been awhile.
Ooh . . . yes, please. Especially peeking out behind the arms of a saguaro. 😀
I read this earlier from my IPhone but couldn’t comment. The photos are stunning.
Thanks, Marie. Mother Nature did ALL the heavy lifting. 😎
That’s a gorgeous view! Sunset is my favorite time of day. I struggle finding a clear horizon, but whenever possible, I head for the ocean and drink in the sunset. Whenever stress builds up, that’s my go-to place and time of day! Lovely, Nancy!
I’m with you, Debra. Sunsets over the ocean are made for viewing. 😀
This is a gorgeous sunset shot, Nancy! 🙂
Thanks, E! Seeing all the sunset “silhouettes” submitted surprised me ~ definitely a common thought for the theme. 😎
Beautiful scenes!
*superior sniff* Call that surf? You should see what the Indian Ocean constantly hurls at our beach!
That’s actually the Intercoastal Waterway which is generally as calm as a bathtub filled with water. The Gulf is a bit busier, but still rather placid. Most days. Not today.
But you win, hands down! The Indian Ocean is much more active than the Gulf of Mexico.
Too active, a lot of the time. I would like to go swimming in the surf occasionally without being tossed around a lot!
Come visit! We’ll loan you a raft in which to float about.
