The sun descends- is this dusk?
I wait!
Perhaps this is the one?
I’m usually homeward bound by dusk, but Paula’s theme for this week requires that I loiter. This once, I didn’t mind. Have a look at Thursday’ Special. I think you’ll find that it is!
A dusky beauty
Glad you lingered 🙂
Me too! It was a lovely glass of wine 🙂 🙂
I love dusk, you have captured some beautiful images of it. 😉
It was one of those ‘oh so fresh’ ones 🙂 Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. vw
Thank you 🙂 Nature’s bounty!
This is truly beautiful. I can look at these photos all day. Amazing.
It’s a nice bit of shoreline when the weather plays fair 🙂 Thank you!
So so lovely. 😍
I was wrecked when I got home but it was a beautiful end to the day 🙂
Yes, that’s definitely the one, Jo. Beautiful. 🙂
Glad you like it! 🙂
What a fabulous sky Jo – well captured
It was a lovely early evening, Robin. I just about had stamina left to take the shots 🙂 Thank you!
Such gorgeous photos! I’d happily frame any of these and hang them in my home. They’re lovely.
Wow! Thank you so much 🙂 What a lovely compliment!
Beautiful – dusk is filled with a quiet mystery. You captured it’s beauty. Have a wonderful weekend Jo.
Thanks, Mary 🙂 I hope you have a lovely weekend too! I’ll make some time to come and see the latest artwork 🙂
It’s nice to loiter sometimes to get such lovely photos such as these. Love dusk, one of my favourite times of the year. I’ll be away this weekend with my boys Jo, so I will catch up with as normal on Monday. Have a lovely weekend…hugs and smiles… 🙂
A little break after the holidays is always nice, Sherri. Have a great time! Hugs back 🙂
A gorgeous way to end that walk and gather thoughts Jo . I love both ends of the day ..
Thoughts, Poppy? I was glugging wine in a state of exhaustion 🙂 🙂 (but it turned out well)
Dusk means to darken, so this qualifies as dusk as well as sunset. But whichever way you look at them, the photos are beautiful. 🙂
It looks so tranquil, Ann! The wind was just starting to get up and it was wild overnight so I expect the sea was lashing in yesterday evening. Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Sunset is my favorite time of day. I like the word “dusk” and don’t use it very often. Your photos are wonderfully enticing. Aren’t you glad you lingered just a little bit longer? 🙂
I was actually, Debbie, because I’d walked miles and was tired. I hopped into Mary Rowntree’s to wait a little longer and met some lovely friends, who gave me a lift home. All’s well that ends well 🙂 Hope things are ok with you?
Gorgeous Jo! On another note did you get started on Instagram?
Thanks, Sue 🙂 Did it display properly in the Reader? I don’t normally post twice in a day but after what you said, I thought it might be a good idea.
Instagram? Oh, dear! I haven’t really got started… I think I posted one pic of a rosebud and that’s it! I’ve taken quite a few photos with the camera and rather like them but I don’t like publishing stuff ‘on the hoof’. It’s just not me! I like to think about what I’m doing and not make a clutz of myself. I’ve uploaded a couple to the laptop and used them but I can’t get the hang of processing and just ‘putting them out there’. I will have a go when I’m travelling next but I need to check photo sizes because my first shots were tall and thin, and the later ones are tiny! I think I’m a hopeless case 😦 But thanks for asking 🙂 🙂
Jo what is your user name in Instagram? I have lost you in my followers. The editing tools in Instagram are really quite good so that’s where I do any processing. Once you get using it it’s actually fun. If i can be helpful let me know. Wouldn’t it be great if we could meet for tea and I could just show you? 🙂
Yes this post showed up fine in Reader.
I’ll just dust off my magic carpet, Sue, and I’ll be right there! 🙂 Yes- it would be so much simpler! I don’t even remember my user name but it will be either Johanna Bradley or Restlessjo… I think 😦
It’s beautiful!
Thank you 🙂 I was lucky- the colours were really nice.
Jo, I like the one through the window – there’s a novella in that one (if only I could write fiction!)
It seems to have caught a lot of imaginations, Sammy. I was pleased at how well it turned out because it was an ‘impulse’ shot 🙂
Very pretty photos – I really like the last one.
Thanks a lot, Suzanne. The light was really beautiful on the water 🙂
Happy new year and best wishes to you and yours for health, happiness, peace & prosperity in 2015!
Many thanks to you, sir 🙂 I hope the year ahead turns out well for you too!
I love the sun scene Jo , you give some idea for my work…Thank you for sharing my friend 🙂
Thanks, Jake! It’s so nice to be somebody’s inspiration 🙂
Ooh, the glass and view in #2 is beautiful! All three are lovely but the second is my favorite. 🙂
It was a ‘lucky’ shot, Lisa, but I’m so glad I took it 🙂
Gorgeous Jo! I especially like the second shot taken through the window!
That one turned out better than I could have expected, Nicole 🙂 Just lucky!
Look at the results for loitering. Beautiful captures. Being at the right place at the right time. Sounds like you had a lovely day even if you were a tad late getting home.
I did, Lynne! It was unplanned because I should have been out with the Nordic walkers but didn’t go. Later in the day the weather was fantastic (though cold) and I just couldn’t avoid being restless 🙂 🙂
Your photos of dusk are beautiful Jo – and well worth the lingering 🙂
I was ‘saved’ by a couple of friends, who gave me a lift home, Colline, so it really was worth my lingering 🙂
I’m speechless, Jo, but I can still type. 🙂 These photos are fantastic! I’ve been looking at them for the last ten minutes…beautiful!
I’d better retire from photography now, Jill- while my good name is still intact 🙂 I’ve been quite lucky so far 🙂 🙂 Thanks, hon- have a wonderful weekend!
I love the way you caption. And you’d also pinpointed one of the good things about blogging challenges: they inspire, in this case loitering!
I’m much too impatient to loiter, generally, Meg, but I suppose I had Paula’s challenge in the back of my mind. I’d done a lot of walking and was collapsed in Mary Rowntree’s, a rather nice cafe, where I just happened to meet some friends who gave me a lift home 🙂 A good result, all round 🙂
So fascinating, very well captured… 🙂
It was a beautiful early evening, and I had a well-deserved glass of white on the table, Drake 🙂 🙂
Oh, I love the layers and the ideas you generate… special post, Jo!
Thanks a lot, Robin. 🙂 That’s very kind! It was a lovely ending to the day.
Your photos are beautiful!
Thank you 🙂 That’s very kind of you. It’s a lovely landscape.
great entry for the Thursday special – the one thru the windows with that blue was my fav 🙂
Thanks, Yvette 🙂 Must have been the glass of wine on the table!
ha! and hope you are having a nice week – 🙂
Mine too!
Thanks, Kan 🙂
P.S. I made my choice 😀
OMG, you actually went out and waited for dusk for TS? I have never seen such a devotion in any challenge 🙂 I am touched Jo, and the beauty of these captures are your award. THANK YOU for this 🙂 I am humble before these views.
I posted earlier today something that had been in my mind all week, Paula. But it turned into a superb day and you know I hate to be indoors. I walked too far and will be sore tomorrow I think, but it was beautiful at the beach. And I ended up at the Headland and shared a drink with a couple of friends that I had not expected to see. So it was a good day 🙂
And you will not hate TS or me tomorrow when you are sore? If you do, have a drink on me 😉
Not at all. It was a really good day 🙂 But cheers- I probably will, tomorrow night!
😀
It’s nice to know we’ve been watching the same sun set each day albeit in different continents and at different times. Lovely pics Jo especially like the shot through the window 🙂
I bet you had the BEST time, Suze 🙂 I saw a few of your photos in FB. I’ll be over later for a catch up.
I don’t think every day has a dusk … to everybody. (another crazy thought…lol) It is more of a feeling, a longing, a fleeting moment. It doesn’t linger. One doesn’t call one’s friend/partner and say “OH, look at this dusk.” It is an intimate moment shared with nature.
One shares sunsets, “OH, look at this sunset.” 🙂
Yes- that’s a little of what I’m afraid of. This is a sunset technically, isn’t it? 🙂
I came back and took another look. lol Sorry, I don’t share my intimate moments with anyone. But I did feel a nice glow, so the picture is definitely DUSK. 🙂
I always enjoy that half light!
It’s lovely over on the Headland, Gilly, but I’d walked for miles this afternoon and was too tired to linger and enjoy it. 🙂
Reblogged this on My Daily Musing and commented:
Every Sunset has it own unique beauty no matter where one lives. I enjoy seeing them all even from pictures :).
Thank you for the reblog- that’s really nice of you. I can only photograph what I see and it was a gorgeous afternoon. 🙂
I thought so too.
