This day was a lovely autumn day, a cool morning, turning into a lovely mild -temperature day.
I have not taken any sunrise or sunset captures in along time. This day I was compelled to head to the local lake when I saw the wonderful cloud formations.
This day Sept. 14th will be forever in my thoughts. That morning we had a memorial service for my significant other half Harry who had passed away June 4th after having a strong heart attack. He was a veteran serving in the Marines during the Vietnam war, and I wanted to give him a nice tribute which was handled by the American Legion, after we got his bronze veterans plaque set.
I have not shared this with you earlier, as I have been trying to keep things as normal as possible, but now I'm thinking this might be a much needed thing to do, as there does not seem to be a normal these days.
We were together for 22 years, and he passed away a few days short of his birthday.
I do have more sunset captures from this evening, that I will be sharing at different times.
I hope you enjoy these sunset captures, and thank you for your views, and comments.

I find myself at a loss for words Sandi my dear friend - I offer my condolences and hope you can find a new normal that will give you comfort and joy again. This is a remarkable sunset shot, glorious clouds and the lone flying bird seems somehow apropos. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need a shoulder my dear.

"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower!
It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome." A.J. Balfour
I understand you, Sandi, when I lost some members of my family, I couldn't talk about that for a long time. It looked unreal, unbelievable. I am really sorry for your loss. This is fantastic tribute for him, really magnificent scene. I adore it.

I am very sorry for your beloved, I am young but I know how sad it is when you lose somebody you love. I am still sad about my grandma. But I think you made a wonderful picture in his memory. I love it very much.

It is hard when you lose someone who is very close to your heart!..
maybe opening up will ease things, but in no way be forgotten!
The heavens opening up for you with this!

You could have knocked me over with a feather from that bird, Tigz. I too offer my condolences. What a sad time for you.
We will all keep you in our prayers.
Wonderful photo and tribute.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
My God Sandi, and you never said a word nor did you show it in any way in your postings. Please accept my belated but heartfelt condolences! A nice image as a remembrance. Remembrance you won't need as you will be often thinking of your beloved husband. I hope that time, that healer of all wounds will help you to get over your loss slowly.

Oh, Sandi, my sincerest condolences dear friend...may family, friends, both here and elsewhere, and all your wonderful memories bring you peace...I understand your desire to keep it to yourself and it speaks to your strength that you have been able to...I'm sure Harry would be proud of you...a beautiful tribute to him which I will save too in recognition of your loss and the support you gave me during my difficult days last winter.

I echo Kathy's thoughts in that I too am at a loss for words but admire your strength of spirit to let us all know your sad news. It's strange how we all react differently to grief. When my brother died a few years ago I needed to talk about him to anyone who would listen but I can so understand your reasons for keeping the news to yourself. I am so sorry for your loss and think your picture is a very fitting tribute to your partner.

22 years is just so brief a time to share with someone you love Sandi. I feel so moved inside and sad for your loss. I don't even want to think of parting with the love of my life. You seem to handle it so well. This image of the sunset is a remarkable capture and somehow the bird does seem to signify something of the spirit. Peace to you my friend.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Sandi - My heart sank when I read your narrative. I cannot pretend to imagine how you are feeling. That you saw the beauty of this sunset speaks to your strength. Please accept my condolences. You will be in my prayers and thoughts. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Sandi. I remember you mentioning Harry many times on here. I will keep you in my prayers.

I wish I was better with words to fully express how sad I am about your loss Sandi. This is truly a magnificent tribute to Harry.

let me keep my eyes open, let me see the beauty
Sandi;
Being a vet I know how keeping things bottled up can fester inside you. I also know how, sometimes, opening yourself and your emotions to others may be uncomfortable. Just be aware that while most of us responding don't know you personally, some of us know enough from your comments on our work and your caring for others to know you are a sensitive and worthwhile person to have in one's circle, to whatever degree. Surely Susanne does. And we empathize with you in your grief for your lost companion. I know I speak for at least some when I wish you only peace, understanding and friendship. And the photo? An excellent memorial to Harry, whose spirit may be soaring in more than one of your images. -Nik
