Sunrise/Sunset

What a beautiful sight of my pond early yesterday morning

As I stepped out of the shower on Sunday morning, I looked out the window and saw the most amazing floral reflection in my second pond. Still sopping wet, I put on my pyjamas again and picking up my camera I dashed out into the garden. Kneeling beside the pond with three excited dogs trying to push me over, I began to click away at the beautiful reflection of the overhanging shrubs and their mirror images.
The sun had been up for half an hour, so while it was not truly sunrise, the soft light and warm rays reflected, were playing over the water and the pond’s surrounding area. After I had been taking photos for fifteen minutes, I came back indoors only to see that if I didn’t hurry up I’d be late for my band practice at church!

The soft light of early morning sun reflects the shrubs and trees perfectly
Peaceful and calm; what a way to start the day!
The dogs were very excited to have me in the garden and joined in the photographic excursion

This was the reflection which caught my eye from indoors

The flowering shrubs pay homage to the early morning sunshine

Last evening as I stepped out of the shower, I looked out of the window and saw the most amazing sunset playing out over my garden. You guessed it! I quickly got dressed and dashed out with my camera in my hand.

Magnificent sunset

Due to the windy conditions late in the afternoon, the clouds have been splashed across the sky

Pink, blue, apricot - what an awesome sight
The trees darken against the dying rays of the sun
The perfect ending to a perfect day
