Sunset in Northwest Roanoke

The clouds look like a purple and gold mountain in the distance.

The Bradford Pear won't let its leaves leave.

It got right pretty outside my house a few minutes ago and I ran out and cranked off a few rounds on my canon.

This part of the Roanoke Valley--out near the airport--seems to get some spectacular sunsets frequently because the mountains are all in the distance, and not hovering right up over me.

Here's an example of what it looks like very often.

The sun is falling or as the Beatles said, "Don't let the sun go down on me ..."

This one's for my grandgirl, a fluffy pink.
