Trees Ablaze!

Occasionally when the sun is setting here at the edge of the woods, the tops of the trees, even though most are leafless and brown, come ablaze with a fiery orange glow.

 When I snapped this photo, I was facing east......

 ...southeast, looking toward Tex's pasture...(yes, we still have those large sections of cedar tree trunk in our yard!)

 This is the awesome view to the west as the sun disappears behind the tree line......

...then I turn back to the eastern view....

...then back to the west...hard to believe all these photos were taken within a few minutes time....quite different spectacular views!

This was a couple of days later!  Another gorgeous January sunset!

 Ahhhhh.......we are so fortunate.

My Sweetie making his own mug shot next to the "tree face"!  Notice the leaping flames seemingly coming out of that lawn chair!

 We are enjoying an evening fire in Tom's fire pit on the back patio.

Although this has nothing to do with sunsets or fires, I think these were the cutest things!  My sister, Sharon, created these at Christmas using strawberries, cool whip/cream cheese mixture, and chocolate sprinkles for the eyes (which she had to use tweezers to apply!).

 When Sharon was done creating them, Tom told her it resembled a "little Chinese army"!

The red and green grapes piled along side have been rolled in dry Jello mix!  Delicious!
