celebration

Apricot pink cirrus uncinus streamers drape across the worn blue of the Earth's dome as the fiery ball of the sun drops below the tree-dotted horizon line. Broken lines of molten gold cirrus clouds hang just above the black silhouettes of the trees, a celebration of the end of another day, a warm farewell and a warm greeting to the coming blue of night. As the sun sinks lower, the sky responds, deepening the pale blue of the top edge into lavender, the apricot pink streamers into rose edged in burning embers. The ball of the sun has sunk past the trees, the sky behind her a throbbing pink.

Celebrate! Mother Nature shouts as she throws confettti into the air. It's the end of another day! You are alive! The earth is alive! Welcome Night!
