Flambéed skies
Take a sky in Venice:
Add fire,
Flambé the clouds
And enjoy the strawberry glaze
Of a beautiful sunset.

Iconic Venice
Whether it’s a lovely morning
And you’re a humble seagull —
Or whether the sun is setting
In purple shades of satin
And you’re a tourist —
We can all agree on one thing:
Venice is beautiful!

Into Impressionism
Late September sunsets
Are when cloud rainbows reflect in water
And autumn dances in
Wearing lilac veils.

Dog days
Sweet memories of
The dogs days of summer:
Enjoying sultry evenings
Of purple magnificence
With my best furry friend.

The blue hour
Late summer is a time for the blues —
Time for the happy blues;
Time to gaze in wonder
At the ripples
And enjoy a golden sunset
(And a dog).

Strawberry swirl
July was a time of long, long summer nights,
And strawberry swirls in the sky.
Pink gave way to
Ruby red —
As the sun sank into the lake
With a sizzling hot splash.

Picnic skies
Mid-July and the sun was setting somewhere around 10.30 pm:
Perfect for a late-night picnic on the pier.
As with all our picnics where Oscar is involved,
We end up pretty wet — whether we’ve been swimming or not!
Life is pretty good though:
Jump, enjoy life, repeat.

Making photos with our eyes
My ‘baby sis’ and I ended up on Brighton Pier one evening
While I was in England.
After a wonderful time with the kids at the amusement park,
We caught a spectacular sunset over the old West Pier.
As we headed back to the car with the lights twinkling,
My daughter burst out, “I wish we could make photos with our eyes.”
Her Aunty Kata (my sister) had a brilliant reply:
“We can. They are called memories.”
(I’m away at a summer cottage here in Sweden until the weekend, so may not be able to visit you. But I do APPRECIATE all your comments!)

Sunburst
The sunburst
Of a summer sunset;
Long rays of sunlight
Lay flat on the sky
While clouds dance on golden lake —
And, finally, liquid honey
Transforms a humble thistle
Into a magnificent creature of light.

Honey glow
I don’t seem to be able to get enough
Of our late evening honey glow!
It pours like warm syrup
Over water and jetty.
It bathes Oscar
As he enjoys the view;
And dances on golden feet
Over the lovely clover.
(I lay down in a patch of nettles to take this photo!)
