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!)
