Those late sunsets…

There is an upside to the late sunsets in early summer in Florida. Usually I’d rather have an early sunset so I can be home in time to relax and check my photos. But on this day when we had a meeting of our photography club we could catch the sunset on the way home. Plus this was the first time all day that it felt good to be outside. Actually the first time in many days that it was nice to be outside. And our fearless leader suggested a new-to-us spot to watch the sunset happen. What a find! Thanks Jeff!

Not one but two bridges in view. And me without my camera. But as they say, the best camera is the one you have with you, and I’m never without my iPhone.

At first I wished I was on the sunset cruise boat, but as things progressed maybe I ought to count my blessings.

I was beginning to be more interested in the clouds as time went on.

A quarter turn to my right and this was the sky.

This blue heron watched the sunset with us. I turned this way for the sky but the reflections won me over.

Now the race was on, Would the sun drop under the bridge before the rain began to fall?

The answer to that was that it was a draw. We took shelter under the covered pier, but that was useless because it was raining sideways.

We were two drowned rats sitting in the car waiting for the rain to let up before driving home. We could hardly see the pier we had just been standing on. Still a good night, regardless.

Great photos, I prefer the early sunsets too because I typically go to bed early.

I used to go to bed early because I went out for the sunrise too, but not so much lately. Thanks for the comment.
