we took these pics of the sunset this evening for our friend
Stephen. Stephen is still in the hospital but apparently doing well, and we know this because our friend
Duke has been updating us all regularly. we saw this beautiful sunset and thought that we should share it with everyone - it lifted our spirits and i hope it will lift yours, and i hope that Stephen gets to see these pics. and i hope that it will lift his spirits as well. please enjoy these pics of our beautiful sky...and please keep our friend Stephen in your thoughts and prayers, and pray that he will be released from the hospital soon.
these pics were taken over a half-hour period. the sunsets here are amazing! i could take pics of them (and bore you all to death) every day. i hope that these pics find everyone in good spirits.
we are thinking of you
Stephen, Sweet Wife and Little Bit! and you, too,
Duke!
Those are beautiful sunsets! My friend,LindaM, of Hello It's Me is facing some serious health issues too. Thankfully,I just surmounted a hurdle with my health and found I was cancer-free for now. Everyone should rejoice in health. Good thoughts going to Stephen.
ReplyDeletePracticalP - i left a few comments for you - your site is loading much better now - not sure what the problem was?!?!?!? i am so sorry to hear that you have been ill - i soo hope that you are getting better and please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers! i am sending you healing thoughts right now! i am also sending healing thoughts to LindaM...i know her from your blog. health is a wonderfully, amazing thing and something that we take for granted. it is something that we should rejoice in daily.
Deletethank you for your good thoughts for our friend Stephen...i know that he appreciates them, as do i. thanks hon!
your friend,
kymber
kymber, Thanks.After my second round of antibiotics and post ER, I feel human and think I will live.
DeleteI just got around to reading replies and comments and stuff. I am glad my site is working better for you now.
Kymber, I am sorry that you too are up in the middle of the night like me. The pictures are lovely, and I wonder how much of the lovely colored sunset is caused by this weeks coronal mass ejections which are the strongest this week since 2005. Prayers sent for Stephen.
ReplyDeleteJane - i really enjoyed your post about dog kennels and will show jambaloney in the morning. thank you for being here in the middle of the night with me - it is nice to know that someone is there!
Deletei, too, have been reading about the CMEs...and they could be why the sunset was so beautiful but we have beautiful sunsets like that daily. we have noticed that as the sun is going down at this time of year, it really reflects off of the ocean (which is about 15kms away from us). as the sun is setting and reflecting off of the ocean we get gorgeous sunsets...always reflecting and bouncing the colours back up into the sky. the sunsets are always different during the different seasons so i am not sure if this was caused by a CME or not???
what do you think?
thanks for stopping in, my friend.
your friend,
kymber
I don't know what effect the CMEs would have, although I am simply alert to them when I read on the NASA site that we are having them again. Cape Breton Island and many places in Nova Scotia are eerily beautiful even in the absence of coronal mass ejections anyway. We can simply stand in awe of the beauty and the episodic changes in our days and in the world. I hope good news regarding Stephen is coming soon.
Deletekymber, thanks for sharing. i too have been praying for our friends and family. health is so important, but we should not take it for granted like we do almost everything else.
ReplyDeleteRob, buddy - thank you for your prayers as i am sure that Stephen and his family will appreciate them! you are sooo right about our taking our health for granted...i am going to try and remember every day to give thanks for health. thank you Rob!
DeleteBeautiful and awesome...thanks for sharing. Hey did you guys catch any of the Northern Lights last week when we were having that big solar flare?
ReplyDeleteJUGM - thanks for stopping in. we don't normally see the northern lights here...apparently it's related to altitude and where you are located and a whole pile of other stuff. i did see the northern lights many times when i was posted to Alert in Ellesmere Island...they were simply amazing!
DeleteWhat a fitting post for Stephen! Not boring~
ReplyDeleteJennifer
thank you Jennifer. and i know that you love all kinds of different skies as well. you NM skies are breath-taking!
DeleteKymber, thanks for thinking of him, you are a good friend.
ReplyDeleteDear Duke - thank you for stopping in when i know that you have so much on your plate. thanks for keeping us updated so that we won't worry. you are a very good friend, too, to Stephen...but you have also been a very good friend to me, too...and i really appreciate that.
DeleteThank you for the updates.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have as much snow on the ground as I would have thought.
thank you Russell. ya we haven't gotten any "stay around snow" yet this year. we get snow and it stays for a day or so, then it rains and washes it all away. and it hasn't been cold yet either. it's pretty temperate here in this little micro-climate. when we get a "real" snow i will take some pics for you.
DeleteWow the sunset shots are amazing, thanks for sharing them with us and I'm glad to hear that Stephen is improving too.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week Kymber!
Joey - i wish you could have been here with your camera - it was such a beautiful sunset! my camera is a piece of crap, digital and i know only two of its functions: point and click - bahahahhaha!
Deleteyou have a wonderful week, too, buddy!
Kymber - Just stopped by. So sorry to hear about your friend, Stephen. I'm sure he'll be back home with his family real soon. I'll keep him in my prayers too. You are an amazing friend to him and all of your blog pals !
ReplyDeleteThose sunset shots are beautiful beyond words ! They sure do lift ones spirits ... what a lovely tribute too someone you so obviously care about. You never cease to AMAZE me my friend ! Hmmm... I imagine how awesome it would be in the hot tub with that SKY ! Very therapeutic !
Hope you have a great week and your worry will end soon dear friend.
Helga xoxo
Helga - thanks so much for stopping by - i've missed you! and will drop you an email in the next day or so. thank you for keeping Stephen in your prayers - he will appreciate it!
Deleteand yes - those skies are very therapeutic! and they lift our spirits so i thought that maybe Stephen might get a chance to see the pics and lift his spirits as well. i am glad that you enjoyed the pics as well.
you are always welcome in the hottub when you come to visit, my dear friend.
i hope that you have a great week too. all of our best thoughts and wishes to you and yours, my friend!
your friend,

Awww. Maybe Duke can slip the laptop in there and this will lift his spirits.
ReplyDelete45er - thanks for stopping in, buddy. now i can't go into any details due to OPSEC but apparently Duke is working on "operation-break-Stephen-out-of-the-hospital". we're gonna need you!
