This beautiful sunset was captured near Sulphur Bluff, on Friday afternoon, as folks made
their way to the Homecoming activities, hosted at the school.

 

Winter Has It's Own Compensation
With Beautiful Sunsets

 

by: Bobby McDonald

 

Certainly Hopkins County has had some "fierce" weather in the past week, with a couple of tornadoes "plowing" through our community, on Wednesday night. However, one doesn't have to look very far to find beauty all around us, and with Texas weather, just wait a few days and it's sure to be to your liking! I tend to think that God compensates us for some of the bitter cold, storms, and other things he sends our way, during the month of January, with these glorious sunsets.

The following photos were captured in Hopkins and Wood counties, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.

On Saturday afternoon, following a rainstorm in Sulphur Springs, you looked
to the east and a beautiful rainbow made its appearance.

 

And, when you looked to the west, you captured this beautiful sunset!

 

God's majesty was displayed looking west from the Hopkins County Civic Center, across the SSHS Practice Field.

 

 

 

 

 

By Sunday afternoon, the sky had taken-on a different hue, as the birds began their flight into
Walmart, in this photo from the Super Handy parking lot.

 

 

And, the Shooks Chapel Church steeple was beautiful silhouetted by the pink clouds, Sunday at dusk.

 

 

This Sunday afternoon shot, near Yantis, captured the beauty from another angle.

 

And, by the time I made it to Lake Fork, the setting sun gave the water a darkening hue!
