Setting Sun

Across the lake rages a fire that started a couple of days ago. The flames fly off of the mountain and the smoke fills the air all around. While this is a tragic event and a struggle for a lot of people, it managed to put on quite a show this evening at sunset. I give you the setting sun 

I have left a note on the crane's windshield informing the operator

that he can never park there again.

Consistent Change

To be honest, I don't remember much of what happens during my day. I do so many of the same things every day that everything starts blending together. Recently, there has been one thing that sticks out. The sky has been offering amazing, beautiful scenes the past few evenings. 

I have always been very fond of the sunset.

It is consistent, yet always different and always beautiful.

It's peaceful.

It's mesmerizing.

It helps me clear my mind and sort through my thoughts.

I'm fascinated no matter how many times previous I have watched it.

It's a soulfully sweet escape.

Scattered Photos

I just wanted to share some of my most recent photos that I have taken just simply having fun with my new toy. Here are some of my favorites from the past month or so. Enjoy!

Just a quick note, I'm doing alright. Started a new semester and it's going to be a tough one. But hey, I can handle it. I think. There are definitely some new posts coming. Lots of things have changed, the biggest of which is I finally got a new job! After 4 years, I'm no longer a student custodian! More on that later. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoyed the photos.

The Beauty of the Earth

So, the favorite part about my house is the view that we have in the back. It is quite magnificent. I have spend many hours just looking out there and pondering whatever comes to my mind. It is an outlet for feeling peace, which hasn't come by easily lately with so much going on. Since I had a camera close by, here are some of my favorite shots from the past couple of weeks.

(tonight's sunset)

This has basically been one of the main things that keeps me sane now days. Just thought I would post it before I have to jump into finishing my string quartet, which may take a while to finish.
