At the beginning of October, I went outside to try to see the "Ring of Fire" eclipse. It was too cloudy.
A few days later, I tried to catch a meteor shower that was supposed to be visible in the early evening but I must have been too early, missed it or I was looking in the wrong place.
Next, then tried to catch Jupiter that was supposedly going to be visible, but still no go.
Then, I meant to catch the Hunter's Moon, that final super moon of 2024, but I forgot!
But, during the clear skies of this October, there have been many, many nights when the skies have been filled with the colorful reflections of sunlight on the horizon.
These images may not earn notoriety for their rarity, but they sure do offer few moments of sustained happiness in spite of withering plants, shedding trees, and clearly shorter days!
With clear skies again today, we are most likely going to have another light show! There is something to be said for those everyday images in our sky.

Gorgeous sky! I missed everything except the Hunter's Moon. It was lovely.
Anita, you are right, these purple clouds bouncing the sunset back to us are so gorgeous. It doesn't happen too often where I am, as the sky is rarely cloudy. But I do love it when it happens. I like that you are celebrating the "everyday images in the sky" instead of bemoaning those others you missed.
The simple joy and beauty of everyday life is perfect. I missed all of the 'stellar stuff' too, but give me a sunrise or sunset and my heart bursts forth joy. Thank you for a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of life.
What a stunning sight that deepening blue background for the pink! Like you, clouds have stood in the way of some celestial delight. I take a chance to look up whenever I can, and usually there is something awesome there...everyday wonder!
