Its OK……. I was just playing ‘Suzanne’ by Leonard Cohen while looking through the sun setting  photos I had  been snapping earlier. The song  said something about…’oranges and tea from China’… so  I  thought I would add  the  words iced purple cream to this one! Gill McGrath© press for the song

Mirage of snow. Sunset. Over my house!

2014 11 30  mirage sunset of snow jpg sig
Snow? You saw it here first! Winter came as if by magic tonight over my house!(Sniffed it at 2.30 today honestly)see previous post But Snow? A Cloud bank hung over well above the horizon line today without touching it and allowed the sun to drop out of sight in sight all the way through till 15.52. The bank of cloud has been glued to the horizon lately every evening and the sun has waved its final goodnight usually around 3 as far as cloud cover.So the sky tonight was a wonderful pink to red for lot longer tonight where it should be.But I like this the 3.30 line. The snow is a little yellow I guess but heh! Its my photograph. There has been no fiddling its simply sunlight at play. So Yesterday the robin looked like a Christmas card and tonight the sunset looks like one too. Yeah Hello Decemeber!

day after day. day after day…nothing moves [ Robin] [3 pics]

Today…
11.00 am

By the window now……
Waiting, waiting for a spark to light the sky
Beyond this new horizon
Framed in familiar layers of pink and purple
Hanging wet in misted lines
Another new dark day
While far off stars still beckon hidden in the blue……

………Just then my robin flew down and began to take his bath 11.07am
