Cone you feel it?
Summer is coming to a beautiful end.
Golden days
End in golden hays (and a dog purveying his kingdom).
The bees make even
The humble onion flower bee-utiful.
Our walk ends with
A dewy heart.
Summer is leaf-ing – and so are my bad puns!

The sun goes down —
Not quietly
But in a fierce splash of red.
A bird floats across the sky.
Fire can also be peace.

Ruby is getting her mojo back
And enjoying our lake sunsets again.
Under supervision, she jumps up
On rocks for treats.
And, of course, both dogs
Are used to our photo sessions at sunset.
For more patient creatures, please go to: Our World Tuesday.
Let me tell you the story of summer —
Of long, hot evenings and herons skimming the sky.
It’s a story of dogs and a lake
And the sighting of beavers swimming in the pink-tinged water.
It’s the story of sharing a beautiful sunset
With a stranger, who had driven all the way to my small part of the world,
From Russia with his family.
And now it’s a story I share with you.
For more shareable moments, please go to: Our World.
After the rain —
A sky full of wonder.
Puddles of lilac
And a purple haze in the sky.

Last week, I stayed in a charming village a couple of hours north of Stockholm.
I discovered a sculpture of silver stallions with half moons on their heads.
As the sun set in a purple haze,
Those half moons seemed to scoop up the real moon.
It was a lovely sight!

One day, a golden light burst onto the scene.
Ruby kindly posed (along with a strange shadow creature).
The sky drew lines and swirls
Against an orange background
As the dashing duo posed in the hope of a treat.
Please note: I’m only posting once this week due to work (am away filming) and taking care of Ruby. She had a uterus infection and had to have an emergency operation to remove her uterus and ovaries. The operation was a success, but she needs looking after.
For more dashing stories, please check out: Our World. (I’m the host!)
And later on in the week, visit: Skywatch.
A stunning purple sunset —
And puppy kisses:
What could be better?

The Old City of Dubrovnik in southern Croatia is very old.
Dating back to the 7th century, it has been built and re-built over hundreds of years.
It has a wide variety of churches and other buildings —
Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
The restored roof tiles look good
Against the old stone.
The city walls were built in the 14th and 15th centuries
And encircle what is now the ‘modern’ city of Dubrovnik.
About 42,000 people live in those old houses and flats!

Late summer evening —
The sky is sizzling as the sun goes down.
It’s hot.
If you’re a dog, then you run,
Jump and enjoy!
For more summer sizzle, please go to Skywatch.
