Bright Lights and Bonfire



At this time of year...
...the shortest days ...
the sun rises almost directly out in front of us...
far across, on the horizon of the coastline of Nova Scotia..
we have to wait for it... when we get up early...
I love waiting for it
 Especially this day...
with the fishing boat heading out...
into that almost purple haze of seasmoke
on our always offering Bay of Fundy... 






Later in the day
we offer back...
our light...
with fir and spruce thinnings...
warming crisp air...
  glowing stones in a circle...
calm evening, calm sea, 
silent...
but for snapping, hissing, crackling... 





Fireworks were hiding inside those trees...








Then once again...
the setting sun offered back its light...
like a game of catch





later...
 inside by the glow...
dogs know...




....Lights of the season powered by Nature...


My Very Best Wishes to Each and Everyone
