THE EVENING was mostly a blank sheet of blue sky shared by the moon and setting sun recently over Kwomais Point Park.
As the sun descended on the horizon, a colorful palette emerged as though a celestial fingerpainter swept golden hues and charcoal grays over the scene.
The picture darkened ...
and swirling clouds were sent adrift as if by an artist's hand.Copyright by Penelope Puddlisms

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, and so deeply peaceful! I can practically smell the pines and hear the loons! And your descriptions of them are perfect, it does look like an expertly rendered finger painting. I love them all, but the second and fourth ones are my favorite. Just glorious!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky shots.
ReplyDeleteA poetry in the sunset sky has become more poetic with your description. Really "fingerpainting in the sky", and looks like "marbling in the sky", too.

That's a fascinating cloudscape, as if the clouds have been twisted around. Well spotted, and lovely photos.
ReplyDelete"Celestial fingerpainter" - I really can't think of any description that could possibly top that, Penelope. It's quite simply, perfect!
