But our disappointment sank with the setting sun, for as we watched, the sky turned gold, blue, pink, and then a fire-and-brimstone bubbling kind of red. That performance alone would have captivated us, but add to that the sight of Tundra swans swimming in sunset-tinted water and you have breathtaking.
But Mattamuskeet wasn't finished with us. As we turned to go, a full moon rose on the east side of the lake and cast a yellow shaft of light across the water near a large colony of birds.

Beautiful shots of the sky over Mattamuskeet Lake! The sunset is just fantastic.
Thank you, Lew. It was a spectacular sight, for sure, especially with the moon rising on the east side of the lake.
BTW, I stopped by your blog yesterday. I love the shot of your snow covered house! That's a beauty. Thanks for sharing.
