A valley girl eh? Nice work, I've only seen one or two true cotton candy sunsets.

Ken, I live on the side of hill going down to a creek. I don't see many sunsets anymore but sunrises, I see quite a few and this was a beautiful sunrise, but as it can up higher it went to red instead of cotton candy. Amazing how the sunrise or sunset can change in a second. Sara K.

A stunning creation, Sara. Inventive, reflective, mysterious. And very significant with its layers of strong imagery.

Gershon, I was out walking the dog early one day lately and I looked at the eastern sky, and the sunrise made me think of cotton candy in blue and pink. Then walking a little further on and turning back to go on the upper road I saw that almost same sunrise through the purple coneflowers blooming. Your visit was encouraging and helped me remember the morn. Sara K.
