Tuesday Evening

This evening we went up on the hill to watch the sunset.


Just after it set, we watched the Chimney Swifts circle and go down the tall chimney.


Then we drove to the drugstore to pick up some prescriptions. On the way there, the sky did this.


Next to us in the drive-thru, this dog was apparently picking up his master's drugs. He did not like my camera, and growled at me, giving me the evil eye the entire time.

On a balmy autumn night
We watch as the swifts eat while in flight
They chase the bugs up in the air
I love to just watch and stare
Coming back to earth, I feel heavy & slow
As I watch the sky in it's final glow

Your twilight photos are gorgeous! Nothing becomes a day quite like its dawn and its evening... I had to laugh at that big dog... "No paparazzi, please!" It said that in no uncertain terms!

My friend has been taking sunset photos lately too and we have had some majestic ones as this one is. I love the look on the dog's face, as he wondered what you were doing.

Martha said...

The photos are so amazing! The dog definitely didn't look happy, he thought you were up to no good lol.

Beautiful sunset pictures, but it is all those Chimney Swifts that got my attention. Around here people get excited to see one or two of them.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous....

Delightful to see them flying down to the chimney.

Ahhh, the dog "gave you the evil eye"!!! ~chuckle~ I do that a lot, when needed!!!!!!!! Not to you, of course!!!!!! ~smile~

We do not have a drive-through drug pickup. But our drug store has sent our meds, to our home, during this Wuhan Virus Pandemic. And it has been very, very helpful.
