The view from Stac Pollaidh at sunset, which has to be one of the single best places to watch the sunset I think I've ever seen, even though it involved almost running up it to make it in time, which wasn't as pleasant as it perhaps should have been having climbed An Teallach the previous day...
Looking south over the Vale of Taunton from Fire Beacon hill on the Quantocks. This was not long after a spell of heavy rain started clearing away and low sun broke through.
"In the vine-shadows on the veranda;
under the yellow leaves, in the cooling sun,
sit two sisters. Their slow voices run
like little winter creeks, dwindled by frost and wind,
and the square of sunlight moves on the veranda.
They remember the gay young men on their tall horses
who came courting; the dancing and the smells of leather
and wine, the girls whispering by the fire together;
even their dolls and ponies, all they have left behind
moves in the yellow shadows on the veranda.
Thinking of their lives apart and the men they married
thinking of the marriage-bed and the birth of their first
child,
they look down smiling. “My life was wide and wild,
and who can know my heart? There in that golden jungle
I walk alone,” say the old sisters on the veranda."
~ Judith Wright, 1915-2000 ~
Couldn't resist trying to capture this, even though it was stretching it a bit! I couldn't get closer.
The sunlight at the end of the sofa created the lovely contrast of colours and patterns. I was able to enjoy the lovely sunshine inside as well as outside on our balcony. Sunshine makes everything seem better and brighter and always gives me such a lift!
Both photos were taken on my Olympus OM-D E-M1Mk2 and Leica 100-400Mk2 at the same time, but the right hand image with several more stops of exposure. On the left you can see the shadows cast by the sun at the moon's rim. On the right, the image is dominated by the same glaring sunshine, but you can also see the faint disc of the moon's dark side, lit by the fainter sunlight reflected from our own earth.

When not on my wrist he lives on my window cill (how I'm used to seeing it spelled) this 'ancient' Citizen Eco-drive. He must be over 30 by now and still taking his charge from any light source and keeping good time too.
It's non-stop for these playful, energetic, large dogs... Diego stayed on shore - no way he was going to keep up.
I had a bag of sequins in my purse that I forgot about.... the bag got a hole and they exploded all over my purse! You should see the bottom of my purse. I've been leaving sparkles everywhere I go.
So I figured what better to do for Bokeh Wednesday!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday Everyone!
Originally posted in June 2012, I consider this to be one of my best shots ever. I thought it was worth a re-posting. From my collection of nautical photos in square format...
