Nature Notes & SkyWatch ~ Heatwave Sunset

As I dribbled water on my collapsing plants in the slightly

cooler ( still 35C) part of the late afternoon, the light changed

and without looking up I raced for my camera.

Photos are in consecutive order as snapped . . .

This is what I saw as, with camera primed, I hit the outdoors,

click! Promising, I thought . . . click!

What a change in seconds, is this it???

Change is like a holiday so here comes more colour,

only to treacherously fade again,

Before the grand finale. Everything has a silver lining, even

a severe heatwave or as the Northern Hemisphere are having,

ice storms and blizzards. Could a bird have a prettier perch

than a sparkling, ice covered twig?

If you want to get a tan, enlarge at your peril but do put on

some sunscreen first.

The garden droops with crisped flowers but the sunsets are fantastic!
