The evening sky enchants.  

With a flourish, the sun often paints a dramatic farewell to the day.

The transformation is my favorite time of the day.  It puts life in perspective.

Though after the darkness descends, one should drive with the car lights on.  

Ironically, my daughter just arrived home to inform me that a police officer pulled her over and commented, "It is a little dark, isn't it?"

Oops.

Luckily she produced all the necessary documents--registration, insurance, and license.

Of course, she isn't legal to drive with passengers yet, but her sister leaned over and waved and smiled and introduced herself as the younger sister.

Luckily the very nice policeman did not revoke her license, as he was easy-going about siblings.

I suspect the "little sister" who continually expresses her frustration that everyone thinks she looks like her "big sister" is grateful this time that their relation is so obvious...so her mother doesn't have to drive her to school!
