Midsummer isn't even a week away and already I have noticed the sun is setting about half an hour earlier in the evenings. It is still lovely though and we have been making the most of the nice weather and the lighter evenings by trying to get out for an hour or so after work each evening this week.
Last night the sunset was spectacular at High Beech so tonight Mr S and I decided to go back again. A number of people had the same idea and there were a quite a few groups of families having picnics (wish I'd thought of that). Unfortunately quite a few insects had decided to dine al fresco too. Ouch!
It was not as spectacular as last night but pretty all the same
with the clouds moving and changing shape
It was quite fiery for a while just before the sun dropped below the horizon
And then just lovely and swirly
With the Young Moon joining in the dance
On the way home we had to slow right down and stop because a fox sauntered across the road in front of us. They don't seem to have any fear (or road sense at all). After it had crossed safely it stared at us from the verge for a few minutes.
Night night.
