Golden ears
A late summer evening –
The saffron sunset glows
On the textured silk of the lake
Inviting reflection and calm in all -
Except the dog, who ears forward,
Is looking forward to a late-night dip.
For more sunsets. please visit: Skywatch.
Hooking up with Weekend Reflections and Camera Critters too. (It’s a busy weekend so I’ll be posting again on Monday. Have a spook-tacular Halloween!)
This made me smile…

Methinks Oscar is eying the duck, Lady Fi!
Beautiful colours in the sky and reflection.
October 28, 2011 at 20:36
He’s a bit scared of ducks and doesn’t usually bother them in the water…
October 29, 2011 at 07:37
Stunning photography. I loved the words, too.

“Golden ears” — I love it! Yes, Oscar does look like he’s about to jump in. He’s such a wonderful dog. I’m sure there’s seldom a dull moment with him around.
Beautiful photo, Fi, with one bird swimming, and another in the upper right distance, flying.
