Ablaze
Isn’t it amazing
How the going down of the sun
Can be both so bright and blazing
And yet so dramatic and dark?

Reflected emerald
The pendulum has swung, and now the days
Will be shorter than the evenings.
This means early morning mists
And emerald green reflections
Slowly turning to rust.
Calm reflections, red houses
And beautiful views
Mean autumn is slowly on its way.

Wonder
After three months of drought, forest fires and extreme heat,
The weather has finally turned cool and rainy.
It sure looks good!

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!”

Swim time!
One of the dogs’ favourite places for a swim
Is the jetty next to the floating sauna on our local lake.
I like it too —
Because of all the photo opportunities it gives!
It’s a peaceful place in the early mornings,
Where you can meditate on clouds and their reflections.
(Photos taken in early May.)

Burnished gold
Another golden sunset:
Trees marching across the horizon;
The burnished copper of the lake
Is still.
I gaze at the scene
In wonder.

Light burst
On the way into the office;
A glorious burst of light illuminates the sky.
(Thank goodness for mobile phone cameras!
And apologies in advance if I don’t get round to visiting you – life is still very hectic.)
For more light, please go to: Skywatch.
Upside down clouds
A lone tree
Guards the lake —
And its perfect reflection
Of upside down clouds.

Still grey
I get a lot of comments about how colourful my world is. That’s because I focus on the bright and the colours.
But as you can imagine, we do get a lot of grey days.
Even then, there is beauty in the stillness of the grey;
And in the perfect upside world of reflections.
Bare birches paint abstract pictures in the water;
And the pop of colourful buoys make them look like
Floating sweets.
(The grey almost adds a 3D feeling to the scenes, don’t you think?)
