The Simplicity of a Summer Sunset at Dusk


After a fun filled Fourth of July day at my sister's house, we arrived home ready to relax before calling it a night.  I just happened to pass by our living room window when I caught a glimpse of pink, red, purple and orange peeking through the tree line.  Without hesitation I grabbed my camera and went for a walk around the block to get a better perspective of the simple beauty of the summer sky.  There is a thick tree line along the road I was on, but I managed to take several pictures that captured the colors of the summer sunset.  
This is what I could see: 

I could have sat on the couch, but I chose to go for a walk to see the beautiful sky.  It is taking advantage of simple things like a sunset in life that will keep us a bit more peaceful and patient with ourselves, loved ones and the world around us. 

MY GOOD TO KNOW FACT:
The sky is different colors during the day and at sunset due to the scattering of the colors found on the visible light spectrum through the atmosphere.
