Sunset Over Victoria Harbor In Hong Kong

-


And the sun retreats

high aglow orange canvas

where I’ve seen this same glow

half a world away

on a different horizon.


And the daylight verbiage

quelled by deafening quiet

whispers secrets

to passerby clouds

never remembered.


And the harbour bids

“farewell Sun Goddess”

drowning in darkness

gently awaiting

a symphony of lights.


Until we meet again…

That's a stunning photograph. Did you take it yourself? A sweet passage, too.

Sitehopped, Redditted and Stumbled. :)

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
