Sunset and Alpenglow

I could tell That Tuesday evening was going to have a nice sunset. The clouds high in the sky were pinkish and purpely (my word). I can't too much west because of the trees. So I hopped in the car and drove down the hill to Starbird road---and there it was, the sky over Skagit Bay. I took about a zillion pictures as the skyscape changed minute by minute. Not only was the sunset beautiful but all the clouds were awesome. I turned to look east and such a beautiful color over the little farm. Alpenglow! Both pics were taken at 8:44PM.
And then it rained all evening and overnight.

Beatiful images. I enjoyed going through the past several days. I enjoyed the Kingbird post a lot and the tulips with raindrops on them are incredible.

Mt Baker is always stunning!

Beautiful! I love it when the sky changes mute by minute AND I have my camera. I think you live closer to the ocean than I realized.

We had great clouds Tuesday on Useless Bay, too, and then the sun dipped behind the hill, so no lovely sunset like yours.
