How do you tell a sunrise from a sunset?

Another great day, spent time at the education center at Ding Darling - wow, well worth every minute you can spare to learn. We then drove through the refuge one more time - again hitting the jackpot just around the first corner with a yellow crowned night heron in the middle of a hunt. All of the photographers did not seem to exist despite being about 15 feet from the bird!
Then up to Captiva Island, checked it out - much more wealth there than is obvious on Sanibel. Diana got her restaurant picking senses turned on and we stopped at a place on the way back where we could watch the sunset from the restaurant. Of course I had to get up and go outside to take photos; excellent food and wine!  Then back to the condo for a walk on the beach.
Here's some of the shots from today - and honestly, other than the time of day, etc...., visually telling the difference between a sunrise and a sunset by looking at just a single photo could be tough.  What do you think?

Little Blue Heron hunting - love the colors and shape.

Yellow crowned Night heron - they drool out their bills when waiting like this!

Snowy Egrets and little blue heron

Great White Egret posed for us.

Love this little blue's pose.

A flyover while I was on the beach shooting the sunset!

Crowd gathers to watch the sunset 

If I didn't know better this could be a sunrise!
