In the gold of the Leaves

 Gold eyes, peering out from gold leaves. White Cat is on the hunt, prowling for little birds that flock to my back garden to feed. The grapes are just about ready.......all 6 bunches......not a lot this year.
 She sees birds.....but they foil her most often than not.  The leaves are changing rapidly these days, and the wind is colder, and the weather wetter. White Cat is damp from the leaves, but she still purrs .
The Weeping Katura tree  changes along with the rest........the birds still find sanctuary...

RED SKY at NIGHT

 Red Sky at Night.......shepherd's delight. This sunset only lasted 8 minutes. It started hot hot orange and gold..................
 Then somewhere, hot pink was added to the orange...one of all time favourite colour combinations....
 Then slowly the entire sky was filled with purple, mauve, pink and fading orange......
 Till the strands of colour began to wane and wobble into pale wisps........
And the mountains were left with only a smothering of cotton candy pink........
                     Took 8 minutes until the sky was a dull grey blue once more......but for 8 minutes today the world was spectacular!
