...as I am posting it on the last day of August.
Tomorrow, 1st of September, our official Spring season will start.
Although it is still cold here, they are expecting the temperatures to take an upward curve in a week or two. We already have warmer days, but the nights are still cold, and as usual, we will wait patiently for things to start heating up. No doubt, winter will still pull a few tricks, as it is always reluctant to leave the stage. But the play must go on, and eventually winter will lose its grip.
Believe me when I say that we are very happy that spring is starting, as soon new life and colors will start. I already have a new little sunbird and its family that I will show you soon. We also look forward to the summer sunsets, that I normally get on camera directly above the ocean. Beautiful views and nothing can beat the colors of the waves when they break with the sunset behind them. But for now, have a look at the last day of the winter sunset.
Slowly the clouds moved the sunrays to the right-hand side of the mountains.
Some birds popped into the show.
Ah, at last the sun started to drop out of the clouds.
A pity that there was such a narrow strip of light between the clouds and the mountain rim.
Slowly, the sun started to sink behind the mountain rim.
Finally, the show was over, and the cloudy curtains were drawn over the sky.
So that's it, and maybe I will get winter sunsets again next year if I am still around on this planet. We have a great love for the sunrays as they add much character to the shots, and as I don't have photoshop, what you see is what you get directly from my camera. Fortunately, it has a very strong zoom as you have seen in many of my posts.
No doubt, the clouds will also soon minimize, and they are some of the best agents to dramatize the views. Not that summer does not have clouds, but I think the cold can also add to the beauty. I'm sure the birds don't think so, but that is for them to worry about. Only joking, as the birds continue to act naturally and their feather jackets keep them warm. Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
