(Dunblane, Scotland)

The evening sun casts shadows
The sky's a crimson glow
As I gaze across the water
At summits capped with snow

In the gloaming's stillness
I watch the seagulls fly
Quickly homing onwards
Across the brilliant sky

While my gaze is skyward
I hear a close-by sound
For the tell-tall ripples
Show me fish are all around

I watch the haze drift softly
Along the purple hills
While ruby red, the gathering clouds
Reflect the sunset still

The skies are ever changing
As the sun once more descends
Though night may fall, it is not all
For heaven's glory never ends

So soothing, so calming, so lovely, so grand...

I feel like I just took a tranquil-izer! Thanks! I needed that!

Love & Evening Glory,

Linda

P.S. I looked up some sites for you on the Summer Snow clematis and put the links in my reply to you in my last post.

Superb extolment of nature's closing of a day, fair Lassie!

Thanks Yann

This is a picture of where I was born and raised. I must say I agree with you about the driving, but for me it's the other way around of course

This lovely poem brought back so many memories of my home.. I have watched the sun set over the Great Salt Lake in the beautiful vally of the Great Salt Lake City, Utah surrounded by the magnificent Wasatch Mountains.

Keep up the good work.
