I almost missed it.  If not for some commotion on the road in front of my house, I would have missed a beautiful sunset.  

After my busy day, I settled in for the evening with a book and was not paying attention to what was happening out the front window.  The noises that the neighborhood kids were making caught my attention and got me to glance outside.  I'm glad that I did because the color in the sky was amazing.

Earlier in the afternoon I was contemplating going to Astotin Lake specifically to take some sunset photos.  There were very few clouds in the sky so I decided against it.
 
The clouds were sparse but they were brilliant in color.  I watched as the pinks and oranges went from pale to dark.  It didn't take long.  In fact, I thought I would miss it while running for my camera.  I did manage to capture some of the amazing light before the sun set.  What a beautiful way to end the day.
