the sky is on fire!

I LOVE to observe nature.  It's in the top 3 on my favorite things to do list.  All of it...from the depths of space to the tiniest spec of sand on the beach.  It's all extremely fascinating to me.  The sunlight is my happiest, of all natural elements, to be involved with.  I was granted a few amazing glances at the magic of sunlight this week.  The skies have been ON FIRE!

I delight in every sunset I see.  Sometimes my mom will call me, just to remind me to look out my window, so I don't miss the beauty of it!  When I was a teenager, I used to drive up to Tanner Park so I could sit in quiet and watch the sun go down.  The view was always the best up there.  One night, I remember, actually seeing the rays of the sun stretching out from that big orange orb and reaching up into the neon indigo sky...the image is burned into my brain...i love it.

Summer is the best time to watch a sunset.  The season doesn't necessarily provide the most beautiful sunsets, however, the air is warm and the sky stays bright until almost 10:00!  I like to lay down, on the thick grass, and watch the sky go from light blue to soft yellow, pale pink and neon orange.  I continue to lay there, until the sky reaches that perfect indigo color and then fades into a royal deep purple.  Then the stars start to twinkle, the moon rises, the sky turns black and I welcome the calm of a very warm and delicious night! (it's not even the first day of winter yet and I'm already salivating for summer...oh boy...)

Peace be to you and you and you...
