This sunset was so spectacular that I had to pull over in the car and snap a few photos. I can’t decide which to cull so I’m showing them all!  And it was even more beautiful than this..A bit more yellow and peach tones with a tangerine sky.

Thank Goodness I looked up from my computer long enough to rush out and photograph this sunset. I have not embellished the color!  This is exactly what I saw.

The sunsets here are almost always striking, but over the past few weeks there have been some particularly stunning ones. Here are photos of a few of them:

Chapala Sunset, Feb. 28, 2022 for the Last on the Card Challenge

I always forget about this challenge until someone else publishes their last photo of the month and so many times have a rather unremarkable photo. This month, Mother Nature helped me out. This was the sunset on February 28. You’ve seen this scene before, but I liked the addition of the bougainvillea poking out into the sunset.

Does this seem excessive? Believe me, I tried to cull out as many photos as possible. This is just a third of what I shot. None of the color has been augmented. The only changes I made were in cropping and sharpening. Glorious. All were shot from my house or garden.

A Sunset Stroll on the San Juan Cosala Malecon with Traffic Jam and Rainbow

This is what a traffic jam looks like in San Juan Cosala. We followed these guys down the road from the Carretera to the lake for about two blocks, acquiring another car behind us every half block or so.
Then one of the vaqueros decided to stop at a little store to buy some necessity, so his friends just waited for him, as did we.
In five minutes or so we were all in motion again. A half block later, they went straight, we turned,
and by the time we got to the lake and started out on our walk, they were the first thing we saw.
going about their maneuvers,
practicing their routine for some horse event, no doubt.
Some of the riders were very young, but this was their dashing captain.
And his dashing steed.
Showing another maneuver to one of the young men.
Meanwhile, back at the old corral,
Hats seemed to have earned a vacation.
And, in spite of the fact that there had been only a few sprinkles early on during our walk,
which grew more brilliant as we walked.
Beautiful silhouette of the mountains south of Lake Chapala.
And the colors began to flow.
The orange sky,
the pink clouds,
shadows collecting,
Everchanging weather–either a blessing or a curse.
and then that fabulous orange.
Almost dark.so we went home.
