Winter Sunsets

That time of day
when a changing winter's sky
warms our hearts
and colours the moment
in pink and gold
and the trees stand quiet to admire the show

when birds soar high above
and mountains dress themselves in beguiling mist
and the lake takes on an inner glow

Time stands still
when we are in the moment
when we let the joy in.

  2. What a gorgeous view. Skies like this remind us what a beautiful world it is out there, if we just look up. I especially like the balanced feel and silhouette in the last one.

  3. "Beguiling mist" - love that!

    Don't these winter sunsets make you want to stand and stare and soak yourself in colour? They do me. Even as they darken and the colour drains away the beauty remains.

    Thank you for the photos and words. :)

  8. Oh my goodness, those photos are incredible!! I couldn't stop staring at them, they're so calming and pleasing to the eye! I also love how the three photos have very similar compositions too. Was that on purpose? (Love your words and the quote as well!)

  9. Beautiful sunsets, Sandra! I love the quiet mystery of the lake image. The last one, with the fence leading us to the mountains, is so lovely. Your words are inspiring too --" time stands still......when we let the joy in". A good reminder to look for the beauty around us.

  12. Beautiful flow to your words and images, Sandra!!! I agree, winter sunsets do add an element of warm loveliness to the often cold, colorless starkness of the season.
    Have fun. Will talk soon,
