While out shooting my usual wildlife and bird photos, I sometimes stay all the way past sunset - while these are bird photos, because they also capture the sunset skies, they qualify as sunset photos too.

 

The first set are from November 27, 2020...

 

Ibises flying in to roost for the night:

 

More ibi:

 

Wood stork approaching:

 

lone ibis in colorful sky:

 

Great blue heron silhouetted against last glow of sunset clouds at dusk:

 

One month later, I again stayed out to sunset, on December 27, 2020...

Just after the sun hid below the horizon, at the local wetlands:

 

To give an idea of how many birds roost in the wetlands for the night - every island of trees in the place was this full of ibis, cattle egret, and wood storks:

 

Another sunset glimpse of the wetlands from late December - snapped this one with my phone:

Found this while assembling the new online galleries...

This photo was taken on a recent late afternoon scenic boat tour in Winter Park, FL. The view is from Lake Virginia of Rollins College. The prominent structure on the right is Knowles Memorial Chapel. Rollins College was the alma mater of Fred Rogers, also known as Mister Rogers.
