Night Falls After A Warm, Red Glow

I daresay that robin of yours is feathering a nest in the honeysuckle. How lovely! I have a resident robin... only one, who sits on the front gate in winter, and follows me around the garden in the warmer months. Sometimes he'll come and sit right beside me. There's a blackbird too, who permanently nests in the garden, and when I'm out there, he scurries around gathering food for his young, even though he knows I'm there. Sometimes he will come close, as well, and give me a few chirps of greeting. Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for your contribution. xx

Awwwwww, thank you for your kind words my friend. I hope you saw it in a similar way to me... it was beautiful, and the silence after the bird stopped singing, was quite magickal. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. x

yes that true . and your most welcome

Yes, I agree, sunset and sunrise are both beautiful. The sunrise invigorates whilst the sunset pacifies. Brightest Blessings my dear friend and thank you for your contribution. xxx

I love the type of sunsets you describe, and sometimes, with the clouds around the Sun, there's a kind of rainbow ring around it. Beautiful! Brightest Blessings my dear friend and thank you for your contribution. xx

Oh, it sounds as though you had a wonderfully nostalgic day, my friend. The Yosemite National Park is really beautiful... a friend of mine sent me lots of pictures when he and his family visited on vacation about three years ago. I'm glad you enjoyed your day, and thank you for a lovely description. I can just imagine you putting your feet in the river! Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. x

It was a great day.It would have been better if my twin was with us also. Alas some other day we will go up there the three of us together.

Awwww... thank you my dear friend. I hope it made you feel as pacified and warm as I did. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. xx

Hey!!! You're making my head swell... I won't be able to get out to the kitchen to cook my dinner, soon! No seriously, I love to get some constructive criticism on my writing... good or bad, and thank you very much for your kind words, my dear friend. xxx

Yes my friend, I did feel the peace inside my heart as I was reading your description of the sun setting. I do believe you are an excellent writer for you can really bring your readers in another place and in another time with just words. Take care and God bless!

I was on the computer too, my friend, but the window is behind and to the right of my computer, so I couldn't help but notice it. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. x

It was a wonderful sight to behold, my friend. My two sons bet jointly on Spain, and won £300!!! Perhaps your other half should have a chat with them, sometime! The vision across the Cairngorm Mountains sounds beautiful. I'm sure that was good therapy for you, my friend. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution. xxxx

Me too, my friend. We tend to say "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning." I suppose it applies to both really, depending whether you're in the countryside, or close to the sea. lol. Brightest Blessings, my dear friend, and thank you for your contribution. xxxxx

Awwww, thank you, my friend. I try! Sunsets and sunrises are different in many ways. I think sunset gives you more a feeling of calm at the end of the day, as night draws in, whereas sunset brings new beginnings, vibrancy, silvery awakenings to all living things, as we embark on a brand new day. I love them both and give my thanks to the deities for our gift of life. I guess I'm one of the fortunate ones, living in the countryside with no high buildings, other than the church, and a bedroom and living looking to the west across my garden, and the field behind. All this is silhouetted by trees, and makes my sunset beautiful. My dining room faces east, and the church and shool are in view, as well as another line of tall trees, silhouetting the sunrise. The sun rises behind the church, after circling its light around the back of the trees and school... it's beautiful, and gives me the energy to face another busy day. Nature is a wonderful gift my friend, and I wouldn't miss a trick! Brightest Blessings, and thank you for your contribution, my dear friend. Take care. xxx

Woohoo!!! Hello, my friend. It's good to see you here again... I hope you're all well! Thank you for your kind words... I try to paint a picture for all to share, and it seems to have worked well. Yes, sunsets are beautiful and I know it's your winter now, but frost normally indicates clear skies so you should see the sun today, albeit weak. I think frost can be very pretty, especially with the sun glinting off it. Brightest Blessings my dear friend, and thank you for your contribution. Love to you and yours. xxx

Oh, that's a very special sunset to remember, my friend. It sounds very much as though it could have been a good luck charm, or and omen, of sorts, that you will always relate it to the conception of your daughter. Thank you for sharing. Brightest Blessings, my dear friend, for a wonderful Summer, full of special sunsets. xxx

He he... the crow is one of my animal birth totems. Yes, the sun setting across the sea is beautiful. I love the orange path that it sets across the water, rippling and twinkling in the last of the sunlight before the sun sinks into the deep blue yonder. It's a pity you can't see it from where you are... I love to watch both sunrise and sunset and am in a position here, to do so. Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution, my friend. xx

I too have solar lights at the bottom of the garden, amongst ferns, heathers and ornamental faeries. They give a lovely soft glow, I agree. Unfortunately, I don't have a pool, but I'm contemplating a water feature of some kind with perhaps a solar light faerie of some kind, beside it. I would also like to hang solar lanterns in the shrubs and trees to accentuate them in the evening. Wow... big dreams!!! It sounds as though, like me, you love to gaze at the moon and stars... I find that a very peaceful and comforting thing to do, whilst contemplating our life on Earth and the workings of it. Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for your contribution.

It was, my friend. It's a pity that where you are is quite low and built up... also, there are a lot of trees around and impossible to see the sun set. Maybe when you find your new home, you will be able to do that again. I love to sit in the garden in the evening with my book, in the summer, watching the sun sink. Brightest Blessings, love and hugs. xxx

Awwww.. thank you my friend. I wanted to relate the beauty and the tranquility of nightfall to you all, and it seems to have worked. I guess you've driven back from Surrey today? Wow... I can imagine how tired you are, after a long day yesterday. Nite nite, my dear friend... sleep well, and sweet dreams. Brightest Blessings and hugs. xxx
