Tuesday of this week was an incredible Skywatching day here at the Lake.
These two pictures are early morning ... the rising sun turned the shallow water into a sheet of gold!
The two pictures below were taken in the evening of the same day. We were just finishing dinner when I looked out our street-side window and saw that the day was ending with a sky just as spectacular as it had been that morning.
Amazing bookends to the day.
Linking to SKYWATCH FRIDAY. Thank you to Yogi, Sylvia and Sandy.
These are gorgeous shots, Sallie!

I especially like the gold on the water in the second sunrise. We too had lovely weather until today. It rained all day in the UK Midlands and was only about 10C - a drop of about 15 degrees, in one day...

The best possible bookends there are, Sallie. Beautiful.

Ah, how I love crepuscular rays and beautiful skies reflected in water! Be still my heart. And that sunset - the colors in that last photo are positively delicious! Wonderful bookends to the day indeed!

Dearst Sallie,
Wow, GREAT photos of the rising sun and the sunset☆☆☆
I loved to read the phrases of "the shallow water into a sheet of gold/ Amazing bookends to the day"♡♡♡
Wonderful SWF picture, my friend.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

Very nice rays in the first picture.
A number of people have suggested that the slight fall off in WBW links could be due to people being on holiday - and of course this week the links pass 50!
