Sunset on Burnet Bay after 4 inches of rain today, June 12, 2025 (and more expected tomorrow). This cloud looks a bit like a dragon with it’s mouth open…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a day of much needed rain, we were treated with a nice sunset over the calm waters of Burnet Bay – 28May2025<\/p>\n

After a rainstorm, the pelicans were dining during the sunset on Burnet Bay on 28Mar2025. It looked like over 100 pelicans, mostly white pelicans but many browns also. Besides the browns in the air up closer in the photo, you can see the black dots that were the whites on the surface of the water near the horizon in the distance. The skyline of Houston is on the horizon at the left.<\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay with the Houston skyline on the horizon. It had been cloudly all day but the sky cleared on the horizon just in time for the sunset.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May 5, 2024. After several days of heavy rain\/flooding in the general area, the sky began to clear and the wind died down to provide the first nice sunset on Burnet Bay in a long time. You would not know it from this photo, but the water was a milk chocolate brown from all the soil washed into the bay from the flooding in the upstream river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Flock of Brown Pelicans heading home over Burnet Bay at Sunset – May 5, 2024. I had already captured a photo of the sunset at peak color (above) when this flock flew over my head as the sunset was fading away……<\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay, October 8, 2023.\u00a0 The cool front both calmed the waters and provided the clouds for this sunset….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay on August 29, 2023 – The hot dry weather recently has not produced many clouds at sunset. (The cloud on the left looks a bit like a dragon swooping across the sky?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay, June 11, 2023. After minimal photo worthy sunsets for 3 months, two nice sunsets in the same week….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay after a rain storm on June 6, 2023. After an early evening rain storm with high winds and 1 inch of rain, the horizon began to clear at sunset reflecting the golden color of the sunset on the bottom of the storm clouds.\u00a0 It was still sprinkling rain when I took this shot.<\/p>\n

“Leaping Fish” Sunset on Dec 30, 2022 on Burnet Bay:\u00a0 A Striped Mullet leaped out of the water while I took this sunset photo (see the lower left third of the photo.)\u00a0 Typically these fish leap to try to evade being eaten by a larger fish . This was the last leap after several leaps (so either the fish got away….or became dinner….)<\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay, August 1, 2022.\u00a0 Hard to see, but there is a tiny image of the crescent moon peaking from behind the clouds. Can you find it? (slightly up and left of the middle of the photo)<\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay, June 7, 2022.\u00a0 Thanks to Vann, a neighbor, for alerting me to this interesting sunset in time to take this photo!\u00a0 300mm lens without a tripod…<\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay on March 13, 2022 – Unusual to have cloud cover at the horizon with a gap and then clouds above – The photo captures the sun setting in this gap in the clouds with the Houston skyline below the sun. It looked like the evil eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings….\u00a0 The “black dots” to the left of the sun are seagulls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunset on Burnet Bay March 9, 2022:\u00a0 Sun peaked below the layer of clouds before sunset and heads down just to the left of the Houston skyline.<\/p>\n

I did not expect to photograph the sunset tonight since there were no clouds after the cold front moved in last night, but noticed these vivid color bands on the horizon reflecting in the calm water. It was not until after I looked at the photo on my computer I noticed the “star” in the upper left hand corner.\u00a0 I identified “the star” using the Skyview app on my phone and found it to be the planet Jupiter….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
