Spring has arrived here on the north shore, but it’s still being a little shy about it. Days alternate between mild and optimistically sunny to chilly, overcast and rainy. One gray evening a few days ago, the sun found two thin places in the veil of clouds, creating the illusion of two sunsets, one gold and one pink, happening at once, as if we’d been transported to some faraway planet in a binary star system.
For the musically inclined, here is LINK to a beautifully done video montage of inter-stellar images paired with the music of Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship. The song is the tender rock ballad, "Have You Seen the Stars Tonight" - reprised from the 1970 concept album, Blows Against the Empire, and recorded live at Kantner's 65th birthday in 2006.

This is such a beautiful, serene image. Don't have time to check your link now, but hope to later.
I love Jefferson Starship!
I could stare at that horizon forever
It is indeed such a serene image! The longer I look at it the more peaceful and serene I feel! Fabulous shot, Deb! And I love Jefferson Starship, too! Thanks for the link!
lovely sunset...
I love your double sunset.
And thank you for the link.
Oh wow the colors in that photo are stunning. Nice shot. =) Hope you have a wonderful Friday.
I always thought Paul Kantner was very unappreciated during the 70's and even today.
I love the soft light. Very beautiful. Water has its own way of painting light.
So very serene this sheen of a scene.
This photo has a dreamlike quality and an I-wish-I-were-there one too. Beautiful!
Pretty and calm. It wasn't long ago I was looking at ice on your blog pictures. We're already in the 80's, balmy weather. ugh.
I can see the Sun is so shy and hide behind the cloud.
Looks like ribs in the sky. LOl
Super shot. MB
Deborah great capture of the sunset on the north shore. Here the days are like yours..I havn't warmed up since arriving home from AZ!
I liked the reflecting waters more. :)

Nothing shy about our spring. It's hot and dry -- we just had a 30 square mile wild fire.
Very beautiful image. I'm always surprised how different skies can look in different areas. That's the cool thing about SkyWatch, I just started myself.
Stunning colours in this sunset! Pretty and fragile!
That sun looks like it can't quite decide what to do.
Love the sleepy grey of lake and cloud.
In answer to your comment re the eagles -
Only the wide angle is out. The close up is still up but having some trouble. And Sidney is still up.
There's a lot of noisey machinery and hammering going on on Hornby Island.
A nice shimmery looking lake and a pretty sunset.
