Sun dogs
Ruby is getting her mojo back
And enjoying our lake sunsets again.
Under supervision, she jumps up
On rocks for treats.
And, of course, both dogs
Are used to our photo sessions at sunset.
For more patient creatures, please go to: Our World Tuesday.
Summer idyll
Let me tell you the story of summer —
Of long, hot evenings and herons skimming the sky.
It’s a story of dogs and a lake
And the sighting of beavers swimming in the pink-tinged water.
It’s the story of sharing a beautiful sunset
With a stranger, who had driven all the way to my small part of the world,
From Russia with his family.
And now it’s a story I share with you.
For more shareable moments, please go to: Our World.
Purple haze
After the rain —
A sky full of wonder.
Puddles of lilac
And a purple haze in the sky.
For more violet views, please visit: Skywatch.
Making a splash
Late summer evening —
The sky is sizzling as the sun goes down.
It’s hot.
If you’re a dog, then you run,
Jump and enjoy!
For more summer sizzle, please go to Skywatch.
Skimming eternity
The yin and yang
Of swans
Skimming the lilac-coloured
Water of the sunset
And floating off into eternity.
For more eternal skies, please go to: Skywatch.
Patience
“Don’t mind us!
We’ll just wait here
While you take hundreds of photos
Of the gorgeous sunset!”
For more great sunsets, please go to: Skywatch.
Strawberry crush
A hot sunset
Sizzles over the lake.
A mother duck and her babies swim by.
Peace descends on the water
In the form of strawberry crush.
For more sunsets, please go to: Skywatch.
Sizzling sunset
Vivid red sky
And a sizzling reflection;
The setting sun balances
On clouds.
Later on, a bird flies by.
Peace.
(All photos straight out of the camera.)
I’m going to London at the end of the week and then filming in Gothenburg as soon as I get back, so I won’t be posting for about ten days.
For more dazzling stories, please go to: Our World.
And don’t forget Skywatch on Friday.
Fare thee well, winter?
Winter seems to be waning —
I say ‘seems’ as this is Sweden and it can snow even in June!
But I don’t think we will see scenes like this one again this winter:
With thick snow on the iced over lake.
It’s cold in the mornings,
So, if we are lucky,
We can still enjoy rim-frosted green lanterns
And diamond-studded
Golden fur.
For more wintry or spring-like or even autumn shots, please visit: Our World.
Sauna weather
It’s the tail end
Of the Christmas holidays;
Mainly grey and mild —
But we finally got some cold weather.
Frosted snowflakes
Decorate the wall and window of the
Little sauna house on the lake.
When the sun finally showed its face,
The view was gloriously peachy.
