Daughter is here for a week and we have been spending time together, talking books and politics in front of the fire, hosting a large gathering at our Nollaig na Mban and touring around the Irish Loop to give her the feel of the place in winter time. Today, we caught the lavender sunset in Renews, pictured above. Such sights can leave one speechless. And we were.
It was a biting cold day with a dazzling sky. I caught the waves hitting the shore with a lone bird overhead in this photo taken in St. Shott's earlier.
Back to the routine on Wednesday but right now it is lovely to be out of it with my precious daughter by my side.
That sunset is astonishing. I've never seen anything as spectacular. The way the colours blend so seamlessly is wonderful.

The sunset has a real velvety feel to it. In the second I can feel the salt on my lips and spray on my face.
ReplyDeleteI love the water in any season.
Spectacular photos. The purple sunset is amazing. And to see it with a daughter is a wonderful thing. What pleasure a daughter can bring.
ReplyDeletehappiness in every word of this post. A lavender sunset - how serene
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your daughter. I know how much it means to you. It's great that she was able to come and see you. There's nothing like watching a beautiful sunset together. Lucky you!

ReplyDeleteBreak, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
ah Tennyson!

This post follows on seamlessly from the previous one.
ReplyDeleteWWW, you have it absolutely right, that's the way to go.
Ageing is a tedious business, make the most of it!
Enjoy the moments with your daughter. I enjoy those few and rare moments that my son and I get to be alone with each other.

ReplyDeleteI think I've finally gotten rid of my "if onlys" particularly when it comes to earning a living to supplement my rather tiny pension.
I just cherish the moments more and more and am glad I am capable of doing so!
