Saturday encore ~ A New Mexico sunset–special no matter how you slice it

I used to participate in a weekly blog thing called Skywatch Friday, wherein I posted pictures of the New Mexico sky once a week. I don't remember why I stopped – it certainly wasn't for lack of material. I'm missing those pretty sunset pictures, so I've decided to repeat this post from July 2009 just for old time's sake.

Sunsets and dinnertime are usually simultaneous around here. More often than not, the cooking gets interrupted when I look out the front window, gasp, try to remember where I've put the camera this time, then dash out to the porch to watch the show. I stand in about the same place every time, so invariably, these shots end up looking the same sunset after sunset after sunset ... except for the colors and the clouds and the light.
