I’m not sure if I prefer sunrises or sunsets …. both can be pretty spectacular and can offer either the perfect way to start the day or the perfect way to end a day.

Yeah, I’d say enjoying happy hour while watching the sun set is a pretty darn good way to end a day. Can you think of a better way?

Wandering Wednesday – Ingrid’s Inspirations

Each Wednesday I post a different photo prompt as a way for bloggers to share their love of photography and engage with other like minded bloggers.

Whether you shoot with your phone, a DSLR or something in-between, don’t be shy 🤗 share your photos!

Upcoming prompts – the Little Things, Food, Landscapes, Garden, Birds …. get out and shoot or peruse those archives!

    Beautiful sunset shots, Ingrid. And, I couldn’t agree more about a perfect way to end the day – cocktails and sunsets, especially over the water. 🙂 Despite having hundreds of similar photos, I never get enough of experiencing sunsets.

      Thank you Liesbet. I’m sure you’ve seen some amazing sunsets living on your boat. I can only imagine. I love boating but am more partial to fresh water.

    I edited this photo after reading your post on Wednesday, so I am linking it here: https://wp.me/p2owKx-ZV The photo you have of the chairs in Texas is my favorite, and I think it is because it looks like there’s a place for me in it 🙂

    Spectacular photos, Ingrid! I like the one with the lighthouse!
    When we first had our winter in Arizona in 2013, I got crazy photographing the sunsets and sunrises. I was so enthralled with the beautiful skies the sun displayed us that I posted a blog all about it.

    When we were at Ajo, AZ the sunrises seemed to be the most magical..Some mornings I dashed out of bed with phone camera and stood outside in my nightshirt getting the shot I wanted. I’m sure I was quite a site..Also, our Hiker was parked about 2 rows back, so to get the sunsets I rode my my (Rum and Coke balanced in one hand) to get the sunset shots…What we do for our love of photos!! Yours are always beautiful!!!

    I probably see far more sunrises than sunsets but I think the sunsets are probably more spectacular. Love the shot you took with the lighthouse!

      I don’t know if they’re more spectacular …. I love sunrises but am not always ready to jump out of the RV for a photo-op. I’m usually focused on coffee 😆 When we visit TX it’s always during the winter, thus sunrise is closer to 7 so with 2nd cup in hand I’m off and running … well, not exactly running but at least moving! Yeah, sunrises during the winter are more doable. The rest of the year, it’s all sunsets.

    So lovely Ingrid. I can’t decide which I prefer. I have witnessed so many beautiful sunsets but I have also been cycling at 5:30 in the morning & rode as the sun came up. There is something so beautiful in witnessing a new day dawn.
