I’m pretty sure that everyone reading this post needs to see something cheerful and happy at this point. I know that I do. These bright-faced things were facing the setting sun, lighting up the edge of a garden across the road, so I crossed over to look more closely and almost at once I felt better, just looking at them. So here they are as a gift for you all, as #BloomScrolling is better than Doom Scrolling, every time. Have a lovely weekend, friends.
On my walk last night, I caught flashes of this amazing red sunset through the woods. I ran fast as I could, cutting through thick brush and trees, getting caught in brambles, almost tripping over fallen branches to stumble finally into the field as the scene was coming to a climax. I had my headphones on and was playing “It’s Over” by ELO.
Imagine seeing that sky, at this time of this year in Nova Scotia, with snow forecast for the next day and hearing these lyrics: “Summer came and passed away, Hardly seemed to last a day But it’s over and what can I do? …When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye” (ELO) I’ll forever hear that song when I see a sunset and will always now see a scene like this when I hear it. Have a lovely evening or day, friends. Until the next one.

Flowers always cheer me, especially when they are lit by a lovely warm evening light. I hope these deep pink and white hydrangeas in the evening glow cheer your day, my friends. They drew me from across the street on our walk, as they seemed to glow. #Bloomscrolling beats doomscrolling.
See more flowers on one of the Flower a Day galleries or the Flower gallery.
Although today is a Hunter’s Moon day, this photo was actually taken a few years ago. I named the image “Hunter’s” because I balanced the camera on a young friend of mine, Hunter, using his head as a tripod. I love the mood of this and wish you all a lovely weekend wherever you are. The post is brief as time is running away with me, but that’s what happens as you get older, as they say!
