Sunset over wheat field – Scotland
We stood at the crossroads
Caught In the middle of twilight
Gazing across eternal Elysian Fields.
Full Moon at twilight – Scotland July 2013
The golden spell of the dying west
Countered by the silver moon
Grown plump and round
Wild grass at sunset
The grasses had drunk their fill of gold
Bowing to be released into change
Back towards the earth.
Full moon at twilight
While the moon drew water
Into every silver globe and sphere
Of flower and bud and seed.
Our breath broke the balance
The sun fell, the moon rose
And the cycle rolled on into eternity.

Those colours are just stunning – the whole feelg of the photographs is magical. What a beautiful post.
Thank you Carol, what a delightful comment
Seonaid, thanks for sharing with us such beauty on images and words:
While the moon drew water
Into every silver globe and sphere
Of flower and bud and seed.
Our breath broke the balance
The sun fell, the moon rose
And the cycle rolled on into eternity.
Thank you, the words came tumbling from natures inspiration…and I’m a sucker for a summer full moon 🙂
What a great post, Seonaid.
All the best,
Hanna
Beautiful words and images. The light is just wonderful.
Beautiful photos! The light, color, and composition are wonderful!
Beautiful pictures, I can almost smell the Scottish evening freshness 🙂
What a lovely comment, thank you 🙂
I love your camera perspective – and your verbal perspective.
Very kind Lynne, with the camera I tend to get down quite low. I’m often to be found crouching or lying on my belly! The words tend to come from somewhere quite deep as nature touches and stirs my soul. So glad that you enjoy the combination…..low and deep……now that’s got me thinking 🙂
I love these summer evenings just driven home with a lovely sunset over the golden fields. Like your words and photos it really heightens the senses.
Beautiful!
Couldn’t agree more, there is something so sensual about the lingering light and the ripening plants. I love watching the swifts and swallows swooping across the fields, pure joy in motion, but have yet to capture a good image 🙂
BP typically 130/90 … after reading this, 110/70 … you’re words and images work better than those little pills the doctor has me taking. D
David I think I might have to market this as blood pressure medication judging from your comments! You’re very kind, and its amazing to read that my post can have such a soothing effects. Nature it seems is our best healer 🙂
The photos are gorgeous, as always! And the title “Eternal Cycles” got me reflecting. Julie
Julie what a lovely compliment, to have set off reflections in your mind is wonderful. I find nature does this to me 🙂
Twilight is a magical time and you’ve captured some beautiful colours and shapes! I love the phrase “While the moon drew water into every silver globe and sphere”. Very evocative 🙂
Thanks Sarah, I feel the pull of the moon on long summer nights like this…..as though she has to compete hard with the lingering sun for attention…..so she tugs from within rather than with eyes!
tiny British grass appears to be in the size of big African trees!
That’s the magic of twilight Frizz, when the moon’s full 🙂
Lovely photos and words.
Very kind Suzanne, thank you.
Mood evoking and just lovely.
Thanks Paulette, what a lovely comment. As I stood at these crossroads caught between the sun and the moon I was captivated by the colours and atmosphere shifting around me.
magic…
There was a definate whiff of magic in the air on this evening. Must have been the full moons fault 🙂
STUNNING! The cycles of the natural world reflect our own…..
Thank you so much Gaye, and there is something so soothing about seeing our own cycles mirrored in natures grand looking glass.
Grand photos! I love the framing which creates the illusion that queen anne’s lace, the flowers and grass all appear to be the size of trees. As always your post cheers me in the viewing! Peace
What a gorgeous comment, I love the idea of giant tree sized queen anne’s lace. I went back and looked, and fell into my own photo in a new way, thank you 🙂
Lovely poem and pictures. I especially like the first one, it looks like a painting to me, full of peacefulness and the satisfaction of a day well spent….
It is an incredibly soothing sight somehow, waves of golden wheat swaying in the fading light. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Beautiful photos here Seonaid 😀
Thank you, it was a beautiful evening of soft pink light and a full moon.
Lovely.
Thanks John 🙂
