When Orange met Purple
When November startles you
With an orange sunburst in one direction –
And a graceful double moon
Admiring her purple beauty in the opposite direction,
Then all you have to do is wait
Until Nature combines the two colours in a final sunset flare
To create a masterpiece.
(And yes, that’s the indomitable Oscar swimming again!)

Beautiful photos, excellent light and color, and the third is the culmination of so much beauty, with Oscar taking a bath and creating a beautiful texture with the reflections in the water. Fantastic.
