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.

Glitter
Everything’s better with a bit of nature’s glitter —
Whether it’s ducks at sunset;
The sizzle of the
Golden hour;
Or the silken ripples
On the lake as the sun goes down.
For more bedazzle, please go to: Our World.
Tangerine dream
Down by the lake,
The sun goes down in a burst of orange.
Simmie gets a burst of energy from the view —
And a swim in the cold water. He’s a happy boy!
Ruby prefers to sit and gaze
At the tangerine dream of another beautiful sunset.

Colour me violet
Sometimes a sunset doesn’t put on
A fiery show as the sun goes down;
All you have to do is take your best girl, some dogs
And wait for the lilac and violet tints to paint the sky.

Spring honey
It was a blustery, spring evening —
But the light was delicious.
Ruby jumped up on her favourite high rock
As the honey’d rays of the sun glowed.
She was happy to look over her kingdom
Bathed in golden light.
(Simmie was busy running around in circles of joy.)

Winter ribbons
Winter doesn’t always dazzle;
Sometimes it is simply enough
To offer ribbons of light and soft colour.

The sun has set
The sun has set for the last time –
Leaving behind the beauty of a life well lived,
And a man much loved.
(I’m taking a break from this blog for a couple of weeks due to my father’s passing.
I’ll read your comments, but not reply.)
The Our World meme will be up and running as normal.
Deep purple
One morning in late November,
Just as the ice was forming on the lake,
The houses on the far shore were lit up like a necklace of lights.
One in particular was ablaze —
What a glorious view it must be from those windows!
The sun rose slowly
Turning the world into a tapestry of lilacs and pinks,
Stitched together with clouds.

The ghost of Christmas past
All our snow melted and we ended up having a green Christmas.
This is nothing new – I found these shots of my dear, departed Oscar
About to enjoy a Christmas Eve swim under a canopy
Of perfect reflections from a few years ago.
A timely reminder that there is beauty
And  joy and light in the world.

Light burst
If the sky could be a musical instrument —
It would be a trumpet burst of light.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season
Full of light and joy and love.
