Sometimes a sunset
Just makes you shout out with joy:
I ❤ sunsets!
The beaches of Conil in Spain
Were perfect for enjoying
A dazzling setting of the sun.

Say it with sparkles
I’m still in Spain.
Just checking in to say hi and send some sparkles your way.
Back next week!
(Photo from Portugal last year.)
Gone surfing
Gearing up for the last three days of work,
And then surfing in Spain.
(I won’t be around to comment on your blogs – but wish you all a lovely couple of weeks!)
This photo was taken in Ericeira, Portugal, last summer.
The Our World meme will be up and running as usual.

Hallelujah chorus
A choir of glorious rays
Breaks over the English countryside.
It’s sunset
And you can almost hear the angels sing.

Midsummer
Swedish midsummer is all about dancing around the maypole to live music.
This year, we arrived at the local farm a little too late —
We could hear music in the distance;
But when we arrived at the maypole —
Slender against the cloudy sky —
The musicians were already putting away
Their instruments for the day.
We stopped to admire each ring of the maypole
Bedecked in flowers (woven there by hand).
The day did not go as planned,
But it’s how you roll with life that counts.

Golden nights
The long light evenings in Scandinavia
Are called white nights because it never really gets dark.
But for me, they will always be
Dazzling, honey’d golden nights,
Where the setting sun
Matches the red fur of my dogs.

Dandelion nose
Take a lovely, golden evening,
A dog and some water.
Walk home through a field
Full of dandelions.
Admire the doggie nose
Covered in dandelion fluff.

Golden joy
It’s almost impossible to photograph a summer sunset
As the sun goes down so very late.
Even at 9.30 or 10 in the evening,
The sun is blazing golden and serene.
The evening light is liquid honey —
And when Simmie shakes after his swim,
He creates golden fireworks of water.

A surprise visitor
This weekend, I went down to the lake
To enjoy yet another golden sunset with the dogs.
This time – we were joined by a surprise visitor: a beaver.
The beavers have been very active further around the lake,
But now they have felled trees near the beach too.
Which might explain why the beaver was so eager to visit.
The beaver swam up towards Ruby – before realizing she was a dog….
With a huge splash of its tail, it disappeared under the water.
Simmie decided he had to guard Ruby – and the floating pontoon!
The sun was still blazing in the sky at about 9.30 pm
As we watched the beaver swim away in a lake of molten gold.

And Skywatch!
New kid on the block
The setting sun threw out a white arc
Of cloud as we walked down to the lake
To welcome the new jetty.
It is a good place to sit
And watch the coloured ribbons in the sky.
