Last night when we were walking, there was not a cloud in the sky and it was so warm. Usually when I see a sunset, there are at least a few light clouds to make the whole sky light up with colours, but not so last. As we walked down one of the streets along our current walking route, I had to stop and take a few pictures with my phone, although they didn’t turn out as I’d liked. It's too bad that I didn't have my digital camera with me! The sun had set and the skyline was a beautiful magenta, the likes of which I’d never seen. It made me wonder at the beauty and the majesty of our earth and how we take so much for granted. Of the pictures below, the first one is untouched and the second was my attempt to try and duplicate the colours of the scene. It didn't work, though I did my best, so you'll have to use your mind's eye. Imagine the colour along the tree line as a deep magenta and the sky above purple, turning into a deep blue. I really should start taking my camera on our nightly walks.
While I’m on the subject of my nightly walk with Deuce, I’ll describe a something that happened a couple of nights ago which made me laugh. When we started our walk, we passed a large orange pylon on the side of the road. Deuce looked at it curiously as we walked by the first time. On the way back, I stopped beside it to let him investigate but he wouldn’t go near it. I coaxed him but he still refused to approach the pylon and when I touched it and made it move a bit, he jumped back as if it was going to attack him. I stood it upright and he seemed less apprehensive of it and approached with caution. He kept jumping back as he was sniffing it, which was funny because there isn’t anything else that I can think of that he’ll back down from. I decided not to push the issue and we walked away; he has enough issues without me helping him to create another.
