I’m going to stick with winter sunsets today. Even Florida is having its cold weather this week! But will it have sunsets this beautiful?

Here are some fireworks to start off a New Year that I hope will be happy and bright, peaceful and healthy for everyone.

At this time of year the days are short, and the light is precious. Here’s a photo from 2006, with best wishes for a radiant holiday season!

No doubt this was inevitable. We have watched a sunset that evolved so beautifully that I can’t pick just one picture. So here are five pictures taken over the course of twenty-five breathtaking minutes on November 21, 2009.
The sun comes out from behind the clouds just as it sets.
After going down, the sun lights up the cloud bank to the east from beneath.
The sun has already set, but the sky show isn’t finished.

It’s been five or six weeks since we’ve been on the island: much too long! The island seems not to hold a grudge, however, and gave us three wonderful sunsets in as many afternoons this weekend. We were heading home as the sun set on Sunday, but we stopped to snap this shot over the Great Salt Pond.

Our last trip out to the island already seems so long ago! It’s hard to believe it was less than a month, and harder still to believe that the fall season is almost over. On that last trip, we spent a good part of Friday on the standby line at Point Judith–from an hour before the first ferry of the morning until the 3:30pm ferry, when we finally got the car onto the boat. “We have to get a house someplace closer,” Dan pretended to complain that evening. “We left the house at 6am, and we didn’t get here until 5pm.” But on a day that promised only clouds and rain, the sky gave us a treat at Pt. Judith as the storm system rolled in–and another one on the island when the sun lined up with a gap in the clouds for an unexpected display.

Today I am in an oceanside town, but it’s the Pacific Ocean. So our visits to the archives continue with this dazzler from October 18, 2003.

I am currently visiting seaboard locations far south of Block Island. This week’s Golden Grove sunset comes from the archives. The year is 2003, and judging from where the sun is setting, I’d say it’s maybe late April or early May.

The island was stunning this past weekend. Here is a pair of photos that witness the sky display from the deck on Saturday.
