I have a great many interests. Among them is writing poetry, taking photo's, the practice of T M and following a druid like path. What I am not nor have I ever been is subservient or fanatical. In the true sense of the term I am a free thinking person.

Affirmation !
Time of 1615 Sunset at Birr, Co. Offaly on 1st Dec 2017 which I was unable to resist
Thanks for the comment Pat and glad that you liked the photo. The first day of winter varies according to which european country you live in. Here in Ireland the Winter months are November, December and January, with February 1st being the First Day of Spring. December 21st is Winter Solstice the mean of three dark days, after which day light minutely increases.
Ah' yes Val we have days like that too, they are called grey days when not even the moon or stars are seen and as it was yesterday. Thank you for commenting.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Sue x
DeletePerfect although I refuse to accept Dec 1st as the first day of winter - roll on the 21st.

Yep, love those sunsets, had a few like that myself recently
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon !
DeleteThat one was just too good to ignore :-)
There's something compelling about a beautiful sunset. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Bella :-) did you know that in Ireland the sun was once seen as female and is represented by
Deletetwo goddesses Áine and Gráinne.
Makes me want to light a bonfire and dance about.
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you Janet ! Thanks for commenting x
DeleteGorgeous sunset - wonderful ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI thought so too - thank you
DeleteLooks like you may have conquered the iPhone. That is a gorgeous sunrise!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Sara, the iPhone is a neat piece of equipment and no wonder they are so popular!
DeleteI should have said sunset, not sunrise! It sets here at 1641 (San Diego, California). It's so easy to capture the beauty with the phone camera.
ReplyDeleteNo matter Sara, for when the sun is setting here it is rising elsewhere... thank you.
DeleteGlorious. I haven't tried the camera on my new iPhone. I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteDo use the iPhoto device, for I think that you will be nicely suprised.
DeleteThank you for commenting.
Thanks for following my blog! I have followed you back. And I celebrate the Winter Solstice too and the rest of the pagan Wheel of the Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you and Welcome Debra, good to make your acquaintance . Your blog looks like my cup of tea :-)
DeleteLovely sunset. I would love to watch the sunrise too next time we can actually see it. It's all mist and frost here at the moment!
ReplyDeleteAh' yes Val we have days like that too, they are called grey days when not even the moon or stars are seen
Deleteand as it was yesterday. Thank you for commenting.
