Lolly Pink

The beauty of sunsets
is that they are invariably different


even when viewed 
from the same vantage points


on the same pathway...
they are always able 
to halt you in your tracks


and take your breath away
Tonight's sunset glowed golden red 
through the eucalyptus trees
as it stretched out 
over the ocean towards me


and then at a certain point


on its steady slipping


behind the hills


it turned a bright pink


a lolly pink sunset


wondrous oblivion

    Beautiful photos Delwyn. It is so good to see you back. I've missed your posts over the last year. Take care Elcmae.

    I do so love to see the structure of trees. My late sister and I used to go for "tree drives." We would simply take off, have breakfast out, and drive in search of special trees, usually after the leaves dropped. So I just love the silhouettes you captured, Delwyn.

    Wondrous sunset - and that pink sun! I really love the perspective - how you changed focus to tell your story.

    Serenity indeed! I feel like that I've been watching the sun setting with you, Delwyn. What a lovely way to end the day by relaxing ourselves and feeling in awe. I love that glowing path across the water.
