Colors of twilight

I love the colors of early twilight here on Santa Rosa Island. An hour or so before sunset you will see layer upon layer of soft blue, plum, mauve, and delicate pink rising from the sea. As the sun sinks into the horizon, the hues and tones reach higher into the atmosphere, then deepen until they silently blend into the night.




The ruffles of seafoam that spilled onto shore today reminded me of the divinity candy my mother used to make. Try as she might to change my mind, I never developed a taste for the super sweet confection that dissolved into a pouf of air in my mouth. I like Mother Nature's version much better. {{Sorry, mother}}}
