Orange Delight

After such a miserable day of cold and grey sky's the sun tried to show it's face, just as it was setting. I could see clear sky's and sun when I looked East and West as I was walking home from Acupuncture this morning and thought we may have had a sunny afternoon.. but sadly it didn't happen.

The Acupuncture went well and I was there for just about one and half hours. John the Acupuncturist remembered me and I hadn't been there for just about three years. I did go regularly for a number of years.

I was putting my blip up this evening when I noticed this wonderful sunset from the window. I may not have seen it if it wasn't for the hole room lighting up with a wonderful orange glow. So out came my camera and I clicked away. I think the neighbours across from us thought I was mad leaning out of the up stairs window.

A Winter Sunset
The frosty sky, like a furnace burning,
The keen air, crisp and cold,
And a sunset that splashes the clouds with gold
But my heart to summer turning.

Come back, sweet summer ! come back again !
I hate the snow,
And the icy winds that the north lands blow,
And the fall of the frozen rain.

I hate the iron ground,
And the Christmas roses,
And the sickly day that dies when it closes,
With never a song or a sound.

Come back ! come back ! with your passionate heat
And glowing hazes,
And your sun that shines as a lover gazes,
And your day with the tired feet.
Poem by Lord Alfred Douglas
