The Beginning...and the End

[queenoftheskies]

Bet you thought this was going to be some kind of deep, meaningful post, but it's not.

It's just an observation that perhaps the nicest parts of any day are the beginning and the end.

Dawn and dusk.

Each has it's own kind of peaceful, serene beauty. Each is quiet, the sky tinged with color, the air fresh and cooler than the heat of the day.

I resist turning my lamp on as long as I can at night because I really enjoy sitting here in the near-dark, looking out my window to the last orange smeared across the sky.

Very beautiful.

Watching the sunset is cool.

Isn't it beautiful?

Out here, the smog makes them even more lovely and when we get evening fog/mist, there are some amazing ones.

Those are my favorite times of day, too! I don't get to see the dawn too often at this time of year, but I love the misty, quiet beauty of it.

Those seem to be the most peaceful (not to mention beautiful) times of the day. :)

Heh. You're a crepuscular critter.

I've always loved dawn and dusk, but...eeek...these days, it's the only time I feel like I'm not melting.

The weather just said it's 105 right now, but feels like 111. That would explain the puddle I've dissolved into, wouldn't it? :)

I think I'm taking kids out to dinner just for the air conditioning. Mine is on the blink.

How are things with you?
