It is almost autumn, and you can feel it when the days are getting shorter and the nights cooler.
When he got off the work Friday night, he told me in excitement that he saw a glorious sunset sky with a rising full moon perching over, and suggested that we would go Saturday night to the mountaintop for a better view.
But we were not so lucky this time. One-day difference won’t turn a full moon into a crescent, but sunset spectacle could be just as transient as any beauty in the world. Disappointed as we were at the dark clouds patching the sky above the sea, we felt refreshed standing on the airy summit. The undulating hills in the distance were enveloped in the misty twilight. Steep down the valley nestled the modern city, clustered with white-colored houses and occasional tall buildings. We looked at the watch for the predicted setting time, and looked to the west, waiting patiently. Minutes later, brilliant redness burst out noticeably, getting bigger and rounder like a bloody apple, and then back to smaller and narrower as it sunk down quickly. It lasted only a few minutes for the cameras to catch glimpses before it disappeared into the lower thick clouds.
We then turned to the east for the moon rise. Due to the thick clouds, we were only able to spot the moon when it ascended halfway in the sky, dim at the beginning as it’s behind the veiling clouds. But soon it shone out blazingly, golden, round but soft, illuminating the sky. The moon, the same moon, that has been in existence for thousands of years, never fails to entertain and inspire us. With or without clouds, it is there, silently but persistently.
周末快乐,节日快乐!
=============================谢谢好文分享!我最近一直也沉静在这样的感叹中,小时候读光阴似箭还不太理解,现在真正体会到了
海上落日是漂亮的,我们也看过好几次。星期六虽然没有看到晚霞,不过这个血红的残阳也是个大收获。大自然真是不会亏待我们的,我们只要爱它,靠近它,欣赏它就好。谢谢Grace每次真诚的留言和喜欢。你总是留下点新意给我,sth new that I really like. 再次感谢!
现在没时候旅游没关系,等退休了也可以去的,但唯一的遗憾就是体力可能不够了,尤其是像我特别喜欢纯自然的,怕将来体力不行没法玩,我现在只要一有时间,哪怕只有几天,我都会坐飞机去其他州的国家公园爬山,很多事情,其实是一个习惯问题,玩着玩着也就玩习惯玩上瘾了,走着走着,回头看看,也已经走过了千山万水了!
太有共鸣了。我也一直对自己说今天是此生最年轻的一天。所以每天都是好日子。
岁月带走了很多,也给予了我们很多。珍惜现在拥有的。
==================================
暖冬说得真好,很有些哲学性
是的!把握住有限的生命,我们不能知道明天会怎样,所以应该活好每一个今天,做自己想做的事,珍惜感情,不浪费时间在不应该的人和事上。 和暖冬共勉
和妹妹心有灵犀,和朋友约好今天去逛我们南加的 Venice Canals,看落日。
