Twilight

The days are growing shorter, as winter approaches. The twilight in winter, always seems beautiful to me. I've always enjoyed being outdoors at this time of day. The indoor lights, seen from outside, seem comforting, and meanwhile the outdoors is calm, and  serene.

This is the first day where I caught a sense of winter approaching, and I decided to try to catch some of the beauty of the late autumn  sky and trees.



This is a group of larch or tamarack trees, I've been admiring during my walks.Their needles are extremely soft when new, and a very pretty, light green. I think they are one of the only coniferous trees to lose their needles in the fall.

I  like the austere beauty of berries on a tree, and  the colour of the sky at twilight also has an austere beauty to it, I think.

 This walk follows closely to our lake, and adding to the beauty of the sky, is the sound of large flocks of geese - our local geese - and the effect of the calls of geese, and twilight always creates a feeling of bitter - sweetness for me.

Last weekend, we observed huge flocks of migrating birds passing overhead for hours, which is another indication of approaching winter. Snow is forecast for this weekend. The season is changing.
