Sunrise or Sunset?

I prefer sunsets and we've had a lot of beautiful ones in CA lately. I have more energy in the evening so I see the sunsets. My husband is a morning person so he sees the sunrises but I usually don't.

I haven't taken the time to learn yet, how to put a photo on my post so I changed my photo here to what we call "John's Sunset". It doesn't make me sad, it makes me happy so please understand that. It is the sunset we saw as we followed the Coroner's van down the mountain after our oldest son died in April. I told my husband "John is telling us he's OK" and after we got to our house our grandson and his half sister who were following us said they had said almost the same thing. He died at a friend's house about 40 minutes higher up the mountain from where we live. Anyway, I love sunsets and I have this photo sitting here in the living room next to my computer. It makes me happy.
 

Beautiful sunset Linda...hugs. :love_heart: Here's the how-to for photos in posts.

You can upload a photo from your computer by clicking on the "Insert Image" icon above your post
insertimage.png
. Click on "From Computer", "Browse" to locate the image, "Open" and "Upload". To use a photo from another website, copy full URL of photo (not webpage) , click on "Insert Image" icon, click on URL, copy and paste.

Another way to add a photo to your post is to click on "Go Advanced" under the post, if you're not there already. Then, below the post, click on "Manage Attachments". Click on "Add Files", browse your computer for the photo, open, and click on "Upload". When it's uploaded, click on "Insert Inline"...and it will go into the post you're working on.

You can also start a photo album, and upload the photo into that. Then you can paste the copied BB code from the photo in your album into your post.

If your photos are bigger than 1024x768, they will be re-sized automatically during the upload. After the automatic re-size, the file size will be reduced below 300KB (most will be smaller than 200K). So, you don't have to reduce the file size. But some photos can be very big, you can save some upload time if you reduce them before the upload.

Thank you SeaBreeze for the instructions on how to attach a photo to my post. I copied it to my email and sent it to myself so I can read and utilize it tomorrow. It's after midnight here now and my brain isn't at top speed. :) You are a sweetie!

Nothing like the perfect sunrise or sunset. I like them both, but being more of a morning person, I think I prefer watching the sun come up and thinking about the start of a new day. Here are a few of mine from over the years.

This was taken last Fall on Westport Island in Maine. We were staying here on vacation.

This was taken early one morning in 2013 from the top of Cadillac Mt. in Acadia National Park in Maine. Sure was cold that morning.

Sunset from Nova Scotia at a B&B we stayed at a few years back. A really special place.

Searching back in my Flickr archives and found this old shot I took many years ago up in Bar Harbor. This is a sunset shot I was lucky to capture with my first digital camera.

Years ago we took a trip up to the coast of Maine. It snowed on the way up, making for difficult travel, but upon arriving, this it the sight I was treated to. Grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots before the light was gone.

Early one morning, I found myself walking the beach on Hilton Head as the sun climbed out of the ocean. Caught this shot. Always liked the cloud pattern in this shot.

I love to see all kinds of nature photos Bob, they bring much joy and peace. I have a few in my album here, and add to it little by little. I just have a small pocket camera, and it's on the easiest automatic setting.
 
Have been going through old photos tonight, many of which were from a 2013 trip to Acadia National Park to capture the sunrise. Here's one I played around with in my editing software to employ a filter. I like the effect. This was taken around 6:20 in the morning in late September from the top of Cadillac Mt.

Here is one more from the same morning, but five minutes earlier and a bit more to the south east. The sky was gorgeous that morning. I've cropped this one so that most of the emphasis is on the pastel sky.

Ay yi yi! You make me to laugh!!! LOL!!!!!!!! The squirrels. Oh boy..... Always you give us a laugh, SifuPhil . I going to call you Paulie Walnuts.

SeaB - Is SUNSET for me. At the end of a long and some time very hot and humid day - I love nothing more than to be on the beach to see the sun disappearing - the orange and pinks and purples color - they are enchanting to me... each one is unique - each one is memorable. We must be quick to be there to see it lowering over the bay - it make us to hurry if we wish to appreciate it beauty. I like that. It remind us - MAKE TIME FOR BEAUTY THINGS! ;) xo
 
Ohhhh... how I love to see picture like this.... far away place that I will not ever see.... but I am able to enjoy its beauty with pictures. The Mither and the Oxen Craigs is very nice mountains... this picture look like the midwest part of the USA..... lot of farms and dairy and fences and flat lands - but not any mountains. Is very nice pictures. Thanks for share for us.. :)
