Good Monday: Sunsets

My favourite part of the day is definitely the sunset. I love the warm colors and golden rays of the setting sun. There is pure harmony in every moment of the vanishing day. The sky is breath-taking, no matter what kind of weather it is. If it is sunny, then the horizon is painted with yellow and pink strokes. If it is gloomy, the day is melting under the pavement black cover of the stormy clouds, that all of the sudden seem to be getting heavier and almost smashing the earth underneath. But when there are just a few clouds in the clear sky, I would stop and stare at the magic happening above my head. The palette is so rich and varied. It can go from the deep cold purple and heather to the warm apricot and  canary. These fairy moments last just a few minutes. But what a luck to be witnessing this little wonder!

I have written a short story for my Russian-speaking readers. You can read it here.

Have a good Monday and watch at least one summer sunset! :)

Good Monday: After the rain

This summer is unbearably rainy. I get home almost every day with wet feet. It's not just a light drizzle. The showers are pouring on our damp city and the heat the is brought by the reappearing sun makes it hard to breathe outside. This Saturday was particularly rainy. It's been raining cats and dogs, so I went out with my rain boots on. I made a way through the wall of falling wall of water to the flower shop. There I saw a bunch of sunflowers glowing brightly through the window glass. Here it was, the blinding yellowness of the sun captured in the small slower shop by the metro station. I bought the flowers and took a piece of sun to my flat. On my way home the strong wind ruined my umbrella and the rain was falling freely on my head. I came home all wet through but smiling. Later that day the sun came out and kissed its flower brother with the gentle rays. No matter how hard it's raining outside, you can always carry sun in your hands... or heart :)

I've published a short story for my Russian-speaking readers.

Have a good Monday and always remember that after the rain the sun comes out :)
