It happens far too many times to count on two hands now and then. I just can’t help myself.
It’s all Nature’s fault.
There I am, ready for bed in nightie and dressing gown; kids dressed in pajamas.
A ruby in the sky beckons; calls my name and tells me to hurry.
Nature is putting on a show and I just can’t miss it.
“Oh no – not again!” sighs Sir Pe as I rush outside in dressing gown, clutching onto camera, two excited kids and a few strands of straggled dignity.
People pretend not to notice us in our nightclothes.
But there is no alternative, is there?
After all, who would want to miss out on moments like these?

Gorgeous. I love those moments when you must heed the sky. I felt like I ran right out there with you… and moved over to the right to snap that other perspective. Yeah, gorgeous!
