Yes, that's how we felt last night when Mitch and I were looking out our living room picture window and saw the beginnings of a beautiful sunset. We grabbed our cameras and ran upstairs to the rooftop deck to take in the 360 degree spectacular show from Mother Nature. We were well rewarded for our efforts as you can see.
This might have been one on my all time most beautiful sunsets. As the skys became mor vivid and the clouds seemed to be baking in their glory, I wanted to burst out singing one of my favorites from the cantata Elijah--"The Heavens are telling the glory of God. The wonder of His works displays the firmament."
This was our view looking towards the sunset northwest across the beach and towards Santa Barbara.
We really do feel blessed to live in this beautiful place where the wonders of nature are all around us every day. From our rooftop we get a 360 degree view of mountains, ocean, islands and sand that makes my heart skip a beat on a regular basis. This picture is facing the Channel Islands and looks out over the ocean.
One final picture looking southeastward over the harbor towards the mountains and away from the sunset. It was no less spectacular in color--the sky was sooo pink that the reflection on the water in the harbor made it appear pink as well. I pink ocean afloat with little sailboats bobbling on the water. So glad we didn't miss this glorious display of heavenly glory.
