Pink Sky at Night


...the graceful orchids were silhouetted
against the soft shades of evening as
a gray day vanished and the delicate
shades of sunset filled the sky.

What gorgeous pictures :) I'd thought you'd like to know, WE HAVE SNOW! Not much, but enough to be pretty.
Thank you for your kind comments, I can't see me staying away long! I think I've decided to re-vamp the blog and start again. I'm feeling very positive today :)

Hi Kim, That's great news, am glad you're not staying away long! Sometimes we just need some spring cleaning even if we have snow and rearranging the furniture, so to speak, to give us a fresh outlook!

Hi Nan, The orchid is so graceful. Wonderful back lighting of the pink sky. I just love the previous post. Such a charming town with the old storefronts and pretty street lamps. The house isolated on the rocks looks so lonely and cold.

Hi Marnie,
The orchids bloom for such a long time, they add so much especially during the winter...they seem like graceful dancers. D rescued that orchid and another that would have ended up being thrown out by a friend who was going south for the winter.
They seem to thrive in our window!

I like orchids very much but there is no way I would be able to keep one alive. I've killed every houseplant I've ever owned - even air plants and they are hard to kill! :o)

Sian,
Actually D has the green thumb in our home and keeps all of the house plants happy!
