    1. That was a very friendly swan. We were the only two out at that time of day. I spotted it in the distance ( a tiny white spot to the left of the second photo) and it glided towards me and silently followed me as I walked beside the lake. I regretted not having some crusts of bread in my pocket!

  2. You live in a most beautiful place.
    I love the lavendar tint to your photos.
    Twilight is my most favorite time of the day.

    cheers, parsnip and the hamish

    1. Yes, it is lovely, Parsnip, but it's also cold and VERY damp at this time of year and not at all good for my arthritis!

  3. Beautiful photos... almost monochrome, with just a tasteful hint of color! Have a good weekend.

    1. Yup, that's Blighty for you, monochrome throughout January, February and often also March!

    1. I saw the sunset as I was driving home. By the time I got outside with my camera the colour had gone and until I saw the swan I was rather disappointed. Next time I'll be sure to put some bread in my pocket.

    1. It was still and cold out, the swan just gliding along in absolute silence.

    1. The last image is my favourite, it was quite dark by then but my point and shoot camera is quite good at capturing any light.

  8. Oh how I love sunsets! We just returned after spending a post Christmas week at the beach. It was wonderful, but it was foggy, cloudy and rainy most days...there were no sunsets. Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures!

  9. Happy New Year to you, Bonnie, I'm glad dull weather didn't spoil your time at the beach. Weather here is awful, I've got the January blues!

    1. Hello Urszula, it was the time of day when everything seems to be silent. I was glad to have wrapped up and walked out.
