A feather quilt above,

A pillow for your weary head.

Sleep and dream of love,

In your soft, ephemeral bed.

What will you make of this stunning scene of copper clouds? Is the day going down to gold, the evening at approach? Or, is it a rumbling, thunder filled storm on the horizon, promising rain to quench the earth below and mud puddles for eager pets to play in?

Wispy mists of cloud are the highlight of this baby blue sky, inspiring daydreams of flight, the world outstretched below, and endless possibility.

Hi! This is your friendly neighbourhood satellite calling. Anyone at home? Do drop in for a chat and some moon rock!

The perfect night sky for a romantic midnight stroll with the one you love, filled with just enough stars to set your dreams upon.

A cheerful stylised sunshine scene.

There is something about a perfect summer’s night that makes even the widest open spaces feel embracing. The quiet, the stars, the gentle stir of wind all lending to that magical feel in the air. What will you do with your own endless summer nights?

If you could bear to look straight at the sun, this might be the kind of thing you would see. It is, of course, dangerous to do it in real life... but you can do it safely here.

A lone balloon caught in shafts of sunlight.

Autumn moorland on a cloudy day.

Your package will look like snowflakes gently placed themselves on the paper.

In the balmy PnF Summer, under the vibrant blue sky, the lush green grass on the hillock slowly begins to brown off. This doesn’t deter the little Pets from clambering up the hillock, chasing each other through the soft grass, and rolling gleefully down the other side…

In the balmy PnF Summer, under the vibrant blue sky, the grass on the hillock slowly begins to brown off… But Summer’s evening storms ensure this hillock remains lush with verdant tufts of grass, providing the ideal trysting place for a game of hide-and-go-seek!

There is something magical about the way trees awaken. No matter how long and harsh the winter has been, it must give way to spring. The longer days and warming of the sun coax the sleeping trees to burst forth in tender shades of green, signaling the return of life to the earth. If the tree happens to be a fruit or flowering tree, soon the green will be followed by a glorious explosion of breathtaking color as the blossoms open.

The most heavenly fragrance wafts through the air as the lilac trees burst forth in a profusion of lavender loveliness. While many different hues of purple are the most common colors for the beloved lilac tree, it also comes in shades of pink, magenta, white, and even pale yellow. The most exotic looking lilac is called Sensation Lilac and is a vivid shade of purple edged in white.

Mystery clings to this red Halloween sky, promising long hours of spooky fun chasing ghosties and goblins, bobbing-for-apples, and eating candy until the sun comes up.

Heaven’s draperies shimmer across the night sky, dancing in undulating arcs of colour and light. What causes these celestial spectacles? When the sun explodes in massive flares, solar winds travel towards the earth and electrically charge gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Rare purple auroras occur when high-altitude nitrogen particles are ignited. Isn’t it amazing that solar winds, like a panoramic travelling circus, make regular visits to the earth to dazzle sky watchers with such stunning beauty?

When the sun explodes in massive flares, solar winds travel towards the earth and electrically charge gases in the earth’s atmosphere. Green auroras, the most commonly seen, occur when oxygen particles close to the earth are ignited.

One of the true delights of fair weather is watching fluffy white cumulus cloud shapes, etched by an invisible artist on a vast canvas of blue sky. Cloud watching is best done with a good friend, lying on your backs or sitting comfortably. You see an elephant; your friend sees an angel. You both say “Train” at the same time and have a good laugh. Your friend spots an ice cream cone, and you see a hamburger. It must be time for lunch. Who knew that so many joyous hours could be spent just watching cumulus clouds on a sunny day?
