Another month, another first Monday, another “Nature” theme! The challenge for this theme isn’t finding a photo, it’s deciding which photo/s to use. Since I spend quite a bit of time outside, I have more photos of nature than of anything else. This has been a year blessed with lots of travels. After my annual trip to visit my parents in Arizona, my older daughter and I spent a wonderful week in Costa Rica, a delayed Christmas present from over a year before. Besides having a great time, we saw some fabulous sunsets. Here’s an example of one. Grab a tropical drink, sit back, and enjoy.
When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.
~George R.R. Martin
A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.
~John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
This, that and the other thing
