Among the Trees: Winter Sunsets

Lately, I’ve been reading about stargazing and I came across an article that explained why Winter sunsets are so beautiful.  It has to do with the arc of the sunset as compared to the position of North America relative to the sun in Winter months.  There was plenty more science in the explanation but the real take-away for me was a reminder to check out the sky at twilight.  We’ve had some lovely sunsets of late and pictures hardly do it justice, though this one will have to do. 



As I wait for the sunlight in our days to truly lengthen, the daily sunset is my welcome companion for the Winter.  It isn’t always be lovely to behold but that’s okay, because the daily sunset is a reminder to stop and look for the beauty around me.  That’s happy at any time of year.
