Bourbon and cookies at sunset

We got in the boat at 4.20pm

The sun was low in the sky

A complete absence of wind

Herring creek was like a sheet of glass

Cruising at a very low speed

Checking out the birds perched on the banks

Turning into Turville creek

Heading directly towards the setting sun

Coming to a dead stop as the sun dropped lower

No other boats on the water

We broke out the bourbon

Passed around home baked cookies

The sun dipped lower

Turning the sky bright orange

Sipping more bourbon

Eating more cookies

Marveling at the sunset

Motoring back faster

Watching the refection of the sky

In the glass like surface of the creek

Carved up by our wake

Our private sunset on the Creek was over

A big thanks to Captain Darryl

The last of the season for sure

We will be back for more sunsets

With bourbon and cookies for sure

cloud crowds

Clouds were milling around late in the afternoon

Somebody had sent out a sunset party cloud invitation

It went viral and a cloud crowd soon gathered 

As the sun went low the clouds all rushed west

Jostling to be the first clouds lit up

Look at me said a pink clad cloud

I am bathed in orange said another proud cloud

Rock music blared and cloudy beer flowed freely in the cloud crowd

Happy clouds partied on way after sunset

Some of the clouds dispersed to their cloud beds for the night

The hard core partying clouds stayed up late

Lets go chasing moonbeams said their cloud party host

They all hopped on a cloud train bound for the rising moon

The moon popped up and greeted all her cloud fans

The cloud crowd draped her in wispy thin clouds

Dancing with her across the cloudy night sky

Sometimes using thick clouds to block her out completely

In a game of nocturnal cloud hide and seek

Eventually the moon set on the horizon as the clouds whispered goodbye

The all night party reveling clouds soon fell asleep to dream of clouds

The healthy exercising clouds awoke before dawn

Jogging east with other clouds in readiness for the approaching sunrise

They sat in orderly cloud groups patiently awaiting for first light

Passing round plates of yoghurt and granola cloud breakfasts

Swapping stories about the most spectacular cloud lit sunrises in their cloud lifetimes

The sun came up bright orange right on cue as the clouds looked on in awe

The hippie clouds danced with flower headdresses and passed around magic cloud mushrooms

Spa music played over a sky of dreamy red and pink flash dance clouds

It only lasted a few cloud minutes but they were all ecstatic

Cloud cameras clicked and soon it was all uploaded to cloud YouTube and cloud instagram

Meanwhile the all night partying clouds slept through it all

Awaking at the height of the midday cloud sizzling sun

Nursing their cloudy hangovers with strong cloud coffee and stale donuts 

Consulting their cloud social media to see what cloud fun they missed

The hippy clouds sought shelter from the midday cloud searing heat

The sky became overloaded with clouds which spelled big cloud trouble

Hells Angels clouds roared in from the north on black cloud Harleys

A rival Hells Angels cloud appeared to confront the newly arrived cloud outlaw gang

This was going to be a fight to the death territorial cloud battle

They clashed violently creating cloud sparks that flashed to the ground below

Huge thunderous cloud explosions boomed down from the menacing dark cloudy skies

All the other clouds hid in fear of collateral cloud damage

The sky cloud governor sent in the national guard clouds to break up the cloud infighting

Hells Angels clouds were arrested and put in cloud jails awaiting a cloud trial

All the other clouds were sent home in cloudy disgrace

Clear blue cloud free skies remained for the rest of the afternoon

Sunset that night was cloudless and unspectacular

Sunset calling

sun subsides

darkness shrouds

no clouds

music blasting

opposites attracting

stars flicker

dance quicker

planets above

abundant love

champagne flowing

faces glowing

cameras clicking

constant laughter

sudden disaster

collapsing deck

total wreck 

people hurt

bloodstained shirt

sirens wailing

panic prevailing

hospital bed

sore head

sunset calling

despite mauling
