Amazing Sunsets

Just before Christmas I was talking with a friend and telling her how I 

missed sharing sunsets with my mother.  How much fun we used to have 

calling each other and saying "quick, look out your window!"  Then we'd

 "ooh" and "aah" until the awe inspiring colors would begin to fade.  What 

fun we had!  Very often after viewing an especially inspiring sunset one of

us would call the other back a little later to share a poem we'd written

that was inspired by the beauty we had just beheld.      

I went on to mention how I missed having someone to share those times

with.  Well, about 5:00 p.m. the evening of December 23, my dear 

friend called and as I said "hello", her first words were, "look out your

window."  I ran to the bedroom and saw this gorgeous sunset set against

the new fallen snow.  By the time I grabbed my camera much of the 

glow of the sunset was beginning to fade, but still beautiful to me.  I was

able to take the above picture from my bedroom window.  What fun it was to 

share this inspiring site and how touched I was that she remembered our 

conversation and took the time to call me as I would have missed it all 

together.

Then, this past Thursday evening as the family was arriving for

FHE we were greeted by this magnificent view.  It was totally 

awesome.   The picture does not do it justice.  The evening sky was

ablaze with color and it almost seemed as if the sky was on fire.

How blessed we were to enjoy this magnificent setting of the sun.  

Utah's winter sunsets rival any sunset seen around the world.

Truly one of God's Masterpieces!
