A week filled with frustration melts away
A sunset lights up the sky
Lacy leafless branches frame the photo
Coming downstairs from my home office, after a day of work craziness on Friday, I saw the sunset. I wanted to run down to the end of the road, where the open fields meet the western hills to see this sky full of glory, but knew the light would change by the time I got there. I went out into the back yard and pointed my camera upward.
There was no processing done on this photo.

Beauty’s gotta be the best antidote for a stressful day. Love the idea of you running down toward the fields, trying to catch the light 🙂

I’m glad the daylight hours are a little longer now; I plan to go out for a brief walk after work now as my de-stress time. I laughed at myself when those words of me running down to the fields appeared on my screen (sometimes the words just seem to come from I know not where)….I think I forgot how old I am and not a little girl in pigtails 🙂

Little girl in pigtails or granny in her walking frame – the emotion’s the same, and if I know you, you’d hobble down in that frame, just to be in the moment 🙂

Whoa….let’s not get carried away with the walking frame…..granny, yes, can’t deny that one 🙂

Silly! Was thinking of when we get really old, like Papa in his late 90s – still felt like a kid sometimes and you could see the glee with which he creaked to do whatever it was that impulse drove him to!!!

I was thinking of my mom with her walker. She would mow people down if she was on her way to something fun 🙂

Here you have your moment of “hope” Angeline…Just waiting for you…
As Epicurus said “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have was once among the things you only hoped for”
Hope next week will be better!

That moment was meant just for you..a reminder that there is more to life than crazy deadlines, spreadsheets and conference calls. My moment was on Thursday evening on my way home…still waiting to share the photos I captured.

Thanks Vera. I’m learning to fight my instinct to “fix” photos to make them seem better.
