Sunrise Sunset

I always wonder at the spectacular sunrises and sunsets that often grace the skies above my little cottage. Maybe there are more spectacular ones across the globe, but nevertheless I am always grateful for the free spectacle that Mother Nature provides almost every day for me, and for all who take the time to raise their tired heads to look above. Gentle reader, few words today, just images to share God's Grandeur, and to show the many colours and moods of the skies above.

A rose-pink sunrise in the eastern sky,
Warm glow of welcome in the dawning day

A golden puff of cloud, a silver lining hides

. . . and then a rainbow boldly flies across the skies
Bifröst to the warriors from the North

A pastel pink and baby blue . . .

. . . or gentle mauve and aqua hue

When rain does fall, as oft it does of late
My camera at the ready takes advantage of the drops

The attic window gives a sweeping view out west

while in the valley roses glow through windows long since passed from view

A storm is raging in the sky above

while colours clash and I can only stare

as Titans throw their paintballs far beyond our world

a desert scene, with spiky alien plant

or moody, brooding, weather holds a threat

A tropic feel of orange splashed across

or cottage window light

where we will rest tonight

when finally the sun has dropped into the sea.
