Sunset Skies

Art came into my office and said that Guy Hagi (the KGMB Weather guy)forecasted a fabulous sunset because of the cloud cover over the Waianae Range.


I looked out my window and saw this.


I should look out my window more often. The neighbor's plumeria (also known as frangipani elsewhere) tree is in full bloom next door. So that's what I've been smelling! Barely... I still have this annoying, aggravating cold so I don't think my senses are in full operating order. Maybe I need to go play in dirt.

Still, every time the breeze comes through my window I do get this heavenly fragrance.



Within seconds, the skies caught fire, but now it's dark and from my hill I can see that lights around the city have blinked on.

  1. Brilliant photographs. You should submit them to be made into postcards.

  2. Don't you love it when nature puts on such a light show!?

    Be well soon, Kay.

    Dean first taught me about frangipani in Australia. He would pick up a freshly-fallen flower from the sidewalk and have me put it behind my ear.

  3. Unless I open my front door, I don't get to see any sunsets from my windows. Lucky you.

    We chopped down our plumeria tree, as it left too much rubbish on the ground.

  5. I love your photos. I can tell you, as Doctor Lincoln, that you don't have a cold but are suffering from allergies from the smelly things blooming around you.

    Benadryl over the counter at your local drugstore will stop it over night.
