As Evening Falls ...

As evening falls

At the closing

Of a warm Autumn day

And dusk tints the sky

And shadows form

I like to walk barefoot

Upon the dew kissed grass

It is soft and cool

Beneath my feet

I love the feeling

Of the cool misty air

Its gentle touch

Cool upon my skin

A soft breeze stirs

And caresses the leaves

I look to the stars

To guide my way

The moonlight is clouded

But it lights my way

As I search in the night

For an elusive flower

Its delicate perfume

Scents the evening air

Its perfume beckons

But eludes me still

Its mystery remains

Veiled by the night…

Autumn Light

My patio rose on the kitchen window sill in yesterday afternoon's Autumn light. This rose is unusual in that it produces flowers with different shades of colour, from a deeper apricot pink (see image January 27, 2015) to this golden beauty. If I leave the flowers on the plant they will fade to white.

Note the damage to my insect screen from the native Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.

The same rose in this morning's soft Autumn light. The temperature earlier today was cool and fresh but now the day has warmed, it is very hot in the sun, around 30 degrees Celsius. Summer days are reluctant to leave.

I am home from hospital ...

Thank you everyone for all of your kind wishes which you have left at my two previous posts... for your best wishes for the surgery and for my health. Also to those of you who have kindly e-mailed me and sent images of beautiful flowers to cheer me, they were very much appreciated.

I am home but still in quite a lot of pain, moving and breathing hurts. My operation, a Cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder) and Intraoperative Cholangiogram was performed using Laparoscopic surgery, so I have quite a few wounds. Thank goodness my heart behaved itself during the surgery. The only unforeseen complication was the size of my enlarged gallbladder which was reluctant to come out and the fact that it was gangrenous. I am so fortunate that it was removed when it was otherwise the outcome could have been a lot worse. I have been sent home on some very strong antibiotics. I have to see my doctor again later today to check on my progress and healing.

I will come and visit your blogs when I am feeling a lot more energetic.

Love to all, Dianne
