Sunsets of 2022

It is the time of the year again where we, bloggers, write the year-end post; sort of a recap of how the year went. Historically, I would generate a post about my travels of the year, but not this year. I thought I'd shake it up a little and not because I did very few traveling, but also because I thought I captured some of the best sunsets just doing day-to-day activities. Furthermore, I think this would be the first (I may be wrong) time I'm doing something like this in all the years that I was an active participant of SKYWATCH.

I couldn't help myself snapping this one at the parking lot of a Walmart.

Driving along I-80 to visit a friend, see next photo.

From my friend's hillside home/deck. From her house (by the golf course) a panoramic view of the Bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge and if I'm not mistaken that is Angel Island right by the bridge. At night, this view is replaced by twinkling lights, like looking at a sea of jewels.

Just came home from work, standing in my drive way.

Few months later.....

July 4

Been living in this town for 13 years and just discovered last year that you can climb the hill behind our houses (which can be accessed a block away) for a great view of the fireworks. In fact we were able to see fireworks from different cities.

I have been open about my weight loss program here which I started in January. Sometime in May, I decided to add walking (reaching my steps goal daily) to my food portion control program to speed up weight loss. It was during my walks that I witnessed these marvelous sunsets. As a matter of fact, it was the anticipation of seeing the sunset that spurred me to keep on walking. I wanted to see how the sunsets differ from day to day. But I was not always able to walk same time every day.

This is across the hill, one block from my house.

One evening I saw deer coming down the hills to the open space across the road. And today, I spotted them grazing. Us people really do intrude in animals habitat.
