About Alexandra Heep

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

Sunset


I took these photos yesterday. The sky was an unusual shade of red that I tried to capture, but the colors here do not do it justice. I heard on the news that the Aurora Borealis was seen as far south as Georgia, so was wondering if that had anything to do with the unusual hue. Or, maybe I am just not that perceptive as I do not watch the sun set every night. Perhaps I should, but I am so used to clouds covering the horizon I do not look out the window much.

This is probably the closest match to the colors.
After I looked at the sunset, the following song got stuck in my head. The lyrics have nothing to do with a setting sun per se, but I like the song and the band.

Whether your camera captured the richness of the colors or not, the photos are very pretty. Dusk and sunset are my favorite time of the day. Can't say that I can relate to your choice of music. Seems that musically we are worlds and a generation of two apart. :-)
