When the weather is very hot I stay inside more than I like because I don’t tolerate high temperatures and humidity well. Toward the end of the day I start to get antsy, even agitated. When that happens I make up an errand of some sort and head out. I trumped up a need for a gadget at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I was driving in a southwesterly direction when I realized I was staring at a magnificent sunset. I took the shot above with my cell phone in the parking lot. The store didn’t have the item I was seeking so I left the store fairly soon. Wow! The sunset was getting better. I decided it would be even more beautiful over the lake in a nearby park so I hopped in my car and sped off.
Here’s what I saw when I got to the park. I had to balump balump over the speed bumps in order to get there before the sun disappeared. Whew! Just made it. I’ll probably need a new front-end alignment for my trouble and haste.
In addition to the fabulous sunset, some goofy geese posed for me at water’s edge.
I love fireworks, too. Looking forward to the neighborhood displays on Wednesday, our Independence Day.

Very nice… I’m a big fan of sunsets and fireworks too for some reason, they always catch me. Nice pictures, and I sympathise, the weather is very hot here too, and nights are not much fun, with two fretful children needing a drink or feeling too hot or whatever… 🙂
