The earth wakes up to each day sheathes in pinks and lavender. The light swirls around us like fairies, lighting on each and every thing…sliding down to lift up the browns and greys of the slowly fading night.
Then evening comes slanting the rays of sunbeams splashes rosey hues on the foothills of Grand Mesa
The dusk heighten in all the magic colors of the clouds, lighting the land in jewels:
burning rubies on the foothills, deep shadows of sapphire and amethyst
Smokey topaz, splashes of emerald trapped between burning orange and gold within the clouds
In the distance I hear early calls of the Coyotes…coyotes live forever, you understand.
Together Boomer and I walk upon the land; listening and watching, as the air cools on velvet wings.
From my world to your heart

You have the best sunsets and sunrises! I know exactly what you mean about velvet air; on summer mornings when we get up really early to avoid the worst heat, the house is filled with golden velvet air, soft, kind, and brushing the skin gently.
