| I took this photo of Dusk falling over Mounts Bay from our lawn |
Some evenings are special, just watching the day unwind towards nightfall from a comfortable vantage point - the daily rhythms of the sea birds returning to their roost; the swift erratic flight of the house martins catching the last bugs of the day; the sun slowly sinking far to the west of us beyond Mounts Bay. Some evenings we are lucky enough to sit and eat our super watching the sailing boats beating across the water and this week was extra special because we could see the horses winter hay safely baled in the fields below us. Spud of course livened up our soporific scene by diving into the border and coming out with a hapless victim that has to be rescued but generally it is a peaceful time. I walked down through the garden for a last glimpse of the sun, pausing to look at a few flowers along the way..........

| Perranuthnoe in the dusk |
 |
| The last pink rays catch simple daisies |
 |
| The Day Lillie's develop their very own glow |
 |
| The racing yachts going about a marker beyond those precious bales of hay |
 |
| Young thoroughbred Dolly totally unaware or all of the effort thta goes into hay making, her glossy black coat glowing in the dusk |
 |
| Spud stalked the ost and rail fence to make sure he didn't miss anything |
 |
| and finally the long awaited sunset |
 |
| still watching! |
 |
| and tomorrow is a new day!! |
