Florida Sunsets

One of the things we really love about living here is the gorgeous Florida sky. The ceiling just seems so high. The colors here are also uplifting. During a bright sunny day, I joke that the sky looks like the walls in the room in Toy Story; that perfect sky blue with big fluffy clouds that you want to sit on. Even during a storm, the sky is amazingly beautiful. The clouds almost seem to boil and turn black, while bright patches of yellow and deep green streak through the clear patches. It's truly amazing, and a little scary. :) The night skies aren't as clear and big and beautiful as they are up north, but the daytime skies make up for it.

One of our favorite things to see is the world famous beautiful Florida sunset. It never gets old! The colors are like no sunset I've ever seen! (even in the Caribbean!) So, I thought I'd share some of our favorite sunset photos with you. There are going to be a lot, so hold on! :)

This is one of our first photos at the apartment. It was really hard to capture, but the clouds were a very light purple with light streaming beneath.

This is one of the most dramatic ones we've seen. Taken from our balcony, we caught it even after its most intense color.

The same sunset as above, viewed through a cutout in the stairwell.

Same angle, lighter colors, different day.

Same sunset a few minutes later.



This next photo is not a sunset, but has the sun in it and was a fun send off...
