Beautiful Endings: Because of a Day.

Updated on October 24, 2012

A lone duck honked as it rose from the lake. Others were already flying the evening sky, actively practicing for migratory flight.

Here's hoping you enjoy the sunset landscapes captured for pleasure and meant to enter the deepest niches of your mind.

These scenes of eventide show a variety of composition offered by Nature. It is to our own detriment if we choose not to accept the gifts of beauty she graciously bestows. It may be a serene or exciting pleasure when one chooses to view Nature's sky-paintings.

Yes, a picture can be worth a thousand words. Enjoy your visit!

Endings of things in nature -and life- also portray an offering of new beginnings. Both may be beautiful, even beyond any sorrows they may seem to hold.

All photos are original snaps of Oklahoma sunsets by frogyfish. Remember, I only pushed the 'button'. The Divine painter chose the beautiful variety of evening scenes.

Beautifully pastel and serene, this reflective scene is the end of a busy day, but begins a new cacophony of night music.

Unusual cloud formations occur and we have no control but to observe in gratitude at their distant beauty displayed.

Sunset after a thunderstorm...it passed quickly and brightened the early evening sky as if to say, "I'm sorry.".

Oh!  Grab that sun!  Let it linger a while, that I may fill my hungry eyes upon its lovely sight.

This smoky sunset occurred while many plains fires were raging in the central Oklahoma region, blanketing the skies with dusky smoke and soot.

Snow remnants on the shore chill water and air in mid-February.  We had had a late season heavy snow three weeks before.

Oh, I cheated? But this is just the OPPOSITE SIDE of a sunset. This full moon is ascending to take its place just as the sun is falling below the horizon.

A true full moon rises just as the sun sets.  Their cyclical harmony is one that man cannot adjust.  Venus accompanies the full moon in the early evening sky.

Double visionary reflection of a pastel "Goodnight.".  Its calm belies the night-creature activity and sometimes not-so- tiny musical voices.

Awe!  Fire in the sky!  This blazing sunset was taken at the same time as my video of the somersaulting geese. Yes, I left the date in. :-(

A pastel beauty of sunset promises a calm night for the crickets and creatures to orchestrate their piercing music -- in spite of those chemtrails.

Twittering a soft "Goodnight." Perhaps this could be somewhat like being 'on top of the world'. And together! Peace to all.

These mockingbirds that live in our neighborhood trees watch the fading light, surely knowing that morning comes to the other side of the world

I wish to share my realization that these beautiful portraits of Nature cannot be seen by everyone. Many words could only partially describe a scene to such a person. As we enjoy the visual beauty of God's creation, hope can still remain that all shall one day be able to share in that beautiful spectrum of kinetic color and shape, Nature's magnificent glorious sunsets.
