Goodbye Sun

Leave a comment

Just like these sunflowers, I’m bowing my head at the change of seasons and shorter days of sunlight. And while I’m an admitted night owl, I do spend a lot of time in the sun. I love its warmth. I love that it puts things of beauty in a wonderful glow. I love how it warms the ocean for my body to get in.

I love stepping outside and watching the sunrise without shivering. I love how it warms the breeze. I love the shadows it gives and the rainbows it creates shining through the water droplets. I feel it baking me when I have the top down on the car. I love how it shines through the leaves in the trees above me when I lay in the hammock.

Look at this, we’re not into November yet and I’m already longing for next Summer. There could be some complaints in the coming months.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • It was a beautiful sunrise this morning.
  • My knee is hurting again. I hate wearing a brace, but I might have to consider it when working.
  • Be careful tonight. And have fun kids.
  • Tailgaters beware; you might just run into a former biker who now drives a car.
  • Taking some time painting today I think will be well spent.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
