I saw this golden glory in the sky and ran to take pictures. I thought it would be good, and I might even be able to drive for better ones.

But twelve seconds later it was already fading. No excuse for non-productivity that night!

That first shot is simply gorgeous! Both are coming to think of it!
April 16, 2009 at 5:41 pm
I have learned, in the short time that I have participated in this meme, that the sky waits for no one.
Great pictures. Thanks

Magical! I can melt my dreams into this colourful heavenly realm. Truly. But that is just the poetic side of me, I suppose. Great skies!
April 16, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Absolutely fabulous photos! Gorgeous colors! I’ve gotten where I never leave home without my camera — never know what you might miss! Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Dear Louise,
Thank you so much for correcting my error. I just re-entered my name by accident incorrectly again. Could you please delete it for me. I really appreciate it so much and dont worry, this will be my last mistake. So sorry.
These shots are have different colors of the sky and yet look so similar. Beautiful!
April 16, 2009 at 6:50 pm
It’s gorgeous. You really have to be quick with sunsets.
April 16, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Gorgeous sunset. They do set so quick.
April 16, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Bee-you-tee-ful. Glad you were quick enough to capture it.
You know what they say about sunsets; that it waits for no slow shutterspeed 😀

Have a great skywatching.

Happy SWF!
April 16, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Wow the sky is beautiful. Love the orangy colour of the sky.
April 16, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Louise: Sometimes there are small windows to make captures but when you get a golden sunset you can be thankfull.
April 16, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Isn’t there an old saying “Time and the sun wait for no photographer”? But your second picture has more to see: the blue above the clouds and the sihouettes below! Very nice sky watch!
April 16, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Yes sometimes you have to race to catch a sunset, I’ve done it myself! Beautiful shot though Louise, so worth it.
April 16, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Amazing! From an orange hue to a blue one!
April 16, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Often skies change very quickly and we must be ready at the right moment for the photographs. Excellent images, Louise, a really beautiful Sky Watch! 🙂
April 16, 2009 at 10:14 pm
So beautiful, Louise – looks like a painting!
April 16, 2009 at 10:23 pm
great photos 😉
and have a nice weekend!
April 16, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Sometimes those gorgeous skies are so fleeting, great capture.
April 16, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Amazing how quickly it changes when we don’t want the sky too. Yet days with rain seem to stick around forever! These are beautiful photos.
April 16, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Isn’t it just incredible how fast a photo opp changes? Never the same one second to the next!
April 16, 2009 at 11:51 pm
What wonderful shots. The first one looks like the sky was on fire!

You were obviously at the right moment at the right place.
The first shot is great!
April 17, 2009 at 7:34 am
Yes we must be quick on the click when viewing those sunsets as they are gone so fast! Great capture!
April 17, 2009 at 7:44 am
it’s indeed a golden sunset! i’m glad you caught it!
April 17, 2009 at 7:48 am
Oh I love the sky out there .. its just so big, open and filled with color
April 17, 2009 at 11:42 am
Lovely. I like the passionate colors in the first photograph. It’s wonderful to see different skies all over the world, thanks to SWF.:)
April 17, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Such a beautiful golden color! Good thing you were ready to capture it.
April 17, 2009 at 2:17 pm
got to love that golden glow in the sky…beautiful sky.
April 17, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I am continually amazed by the sky. It’s all in the moment and it’s always passing. Nice post.
April 17, 2009 at 8:12 pm
These are great photos but I do know what you mean about “gone”. I know I have put my camera somewhere or had the battery charging and by the time I collect it the moment is gone! Thanks for sharing and stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Fading or not still beautiful.
April 18, 2009 at 8:59 am
It’s hard to believe these beautiful colors are out there waiting for us. (By the way, that is some bread you bake!!!!!)
April 18, 2009 at 3:02 pm
As pretty as a rainbow …now if you hadnt said this couple was affliated with your church I might have wondered if they didnt spread some peyote on the bread by mistake ..
😉
Love how that bread looks like the traditional challe we had on Fridays growing up
April 22, 2009 at 8:53 pm
A lot of extra work, but if I was still making bread every week I would of tried it, sounds and looks so amazing.
I gave up bread making after my daughter left home, now we eat store bought stuff.
