“Nobody can bring you peace, but yourself.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though this late evening view of the bay on a cool winter’s evening with a fisherman trying for one last catch and the ferry making the last trip before nightfall was pretty close to finding peace and quiet.
We have been having some particularly pretty coloured skies full of pastel pinks and blues resulting from dust storms blowing in from the bush.
Sky Watch Friday has hundreds of bloggers from all over sharing their view of the sky in all kinds of different moods.
Anne who has beautiful photo and other crafts blogs has gifted me the Lemonade Stand award for blogs with Great Attitude and Gratitude in celebrating all that is good in life and I do like that old saying about turning life’s lemons in to lemonade. This week gallons of lemonade could be possible with the lemons we had to choose from but hoping that more sunshine is on the way soon.
One of the things that helps me keep balanced are like minded blogging friends who focus on the possibilities and these are a few I am grateful for finding.
- Jill with the Bittersweet Speciality Soaps and Calico Petals darling designs and crafts.
- Louise celebrating unique handicrafts from the beaches of Cape Cod
- Linda a creative altered artist
- Noell who’s Paperclipping blog provides easy to understand explanations to all kinds of design concepts that take creativity that one step further
- Sarah with Beach Cottage shabby chic beach décor on a thrift store budget
- Kimberlee another office worker shuffling through the grey suit world to find the most delightful little rays of sunshine with her Brown Button blog

Hi, Mandy! Love the lone fisherman who has waded in up to his waist! :-)

A lovely and peaceful scene. I found the ship when I enlarged the photo. Very clever.

Great scenic view. Lovely composition.
Lovely pastels
Great skywatch shot :) Happy SWF
I love the pink sunsets! Soothing moments!
Is that the view from where you live? It is lovely. I had forgotten that you are at the other side of the seasons now.
Beautifully captured image. The subtle pink reminds me of early Impressionism which I'm a real fan of.
Wonderful picture of the lone fisherman...on pastel waters.

As a followup to Emerson, happiness is within. Really like your post this week.

Very pretty. Shame to think that its caused by lost topsoil due to drought.
Hi, Its beautiful. Nice post.

I love that time of evening. . . just before all the lights go out. . . and you've captured a wonderful scene. Last week's photograph was great as well. Thanks for saying what was giving the color to the sky - the dust storms. I was wondering what made those amazing shades. What a peaceful scene. I could almost fall into it.
That is a beautiful, refreshing view. God bles.
oh that it SO SO SO pretty. Loving the pink in there :)
Resulting from dust storms..., now that is interesting.
Something about summer sunsets...
Beautiful...and a great quote, too!
