september sunset evenings . . .

taking time out to
make the absolute most
of these golden hued
silky september evenings
with the sun sinking swiftly
into gilded seas
leaving tinted clouds
in painted skies
for the nights are creeping softly in
the hours are ticking by
and its time to head steadily homeward
sooner & sooner as each day passes

  2. Hi Ruthie,
    Stunning sunset photos. I think now is the best time of year, when the sun is low. A really magical time of year too!:)

  3. Starting to get colder there, warmer here. We've stopped setting our fire; only a throw of an evening now.

    Lovely pics, Ruthie.

    Such beautiful colours, very still and soft.

    There were lovely pink and salmon orange skies overhead last night - autumn and winter are indeed the time for sunset watching.

  12. So beautiful. Sigh. I really should visit Scotland, it's the homeland of my great-grandfather. To be honestly if I leave London it's to jet off to sunnier climes (Cuba Mexico Jamaica) where my Caribbean blood can be warmed lol. These pics have inspired me to venture closer to home.
