This late afternoon I looked outside
And saw this orange light
I knew the sky must be beautiful
So I rushed out to catch this sight


I held my breath for what I saw
Just couldn't believe my eyes
Beams of sunlight struck the air
And out my mouth came only sighs


I took my car and drove towards
This sinking sun in speed
For it sank quickly behind the clouds
A breathtaken sight indeed


And suddenly there were my sheep
Like statues in the air
They didn't get any goodies from me
So they thought that wasn't fair


I snapped my shots in a hasty way
The sun sank fast as you can see
Just one layer of light was left of it
All getting dark around of me


This is the end of sunset here
In minutes it took only fifteen
Today on September the third
I share with you what I've seen



A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Oh Titia~
To capture such breathtaking beauty,
put it with words of beauty
and share it with us ...
is beauty beyond compare~

Thank you, dear sweet lady, for all you do to make this place such a warm and wonderful place to share the setting sun of friendships~

I love you~

And thank you SO much for sharing what you see. Breathtaking. Be careful, you may find a herd of us showing up on your doorstep to see your lovely scenery first hand

You have a way with pictures and poetry.  I was at your site and found it very interesting.  What is B001?  The inside of B004?  And if so, what is B004?  It is more than a greenhouse, I think.  Stunning picture of Cloud1.  And your family pictures are fun.  Also, in Blue Shield, what does the sign say?  Do you take these pictures?

Marq, thank you

Catalinamoon, mine too and it's just beginning in this season

Margie dear, what can I say to such lovely words than  

James, thanks

Tracey, you're all so very welcome

Mirrorman, I tried to send you a mail with all the answers, but got it back, are you sure your emailadress is still right?
Send me a mail and I'll answer your questions

Janet Marie, always glad to see you, yes a digital camera is quite handy in situations like this. Glad I could share it with you.

Decaflame, thanks for reading sweet girl

Seymour, thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed

BloomingRose, well I just had to grab my camera, it was all there for only 15 minutes.
When it's not raining this season will give those sunsets almost every night, sometimes it's all dark purple. That's one thing why I love to live in the countryside so much

Titia, what a beautiful sunset, and your words wrapped around it are magnificant.  However I think you should have given the sheep some treats    Wonderful presentation.
