I think late winter tends to be a good sunset time of the year where I live (NC, U.S.).
In general we've had a nice mix of skies.
I took a lot of shots of the Japanese Magnolia because I knew these early blooms might be the main show with this tree.
Once the buds start showing color they can't handle the low temperatures we get this time of the year.
The smaller buds may make it until spring when it's time to bloom.
We went from blue skies to white skies.
I like the mix, it keeps me guessing what will come next.
I caught a pretty sunrise for a change.
The sunrise shots are on the opposite side from where the sun was coming up but it colored the clouds.
I like the way the snowy roof, clouds and blue sky looked in the next shot.
The birds were up and ready to come eat on my deck after I went inside.
I'll end with a recent sunset I caught.
Each sunset paints the sky a little bit differently.
This one almost looks like someone threw paint against the sky.

Such pretty shots!
