Just when I thought I had used up my quota of beautiful summer sunsets from Mother Nature, I received the gift above. It was a rainy day up in the mountains, and I spent most of the day working inside on business stuff. I glanced outside shortly before sunset and noticed a few breaks in the clouds. I jumped into my car and headed a short distance to the Frisco Bay Marina on Lake Dillon. I’m glad I took the effort because the sunset was nothing short of spectacular.

That’s Chief Mountain on the left and Buffalo Mountain on the right.

Patience is often rewarded with sunsets. The two photos above were shot a half hour apart. We were out on Pelican Lake boating with some friends when Mother Nature presented a number of varied sunset palettes. This photo was taken at 9:05 PM.
