Amy leads today with a challenge that has stumped me. Although I have traveled across the USA I have few photo records of places I visited, and the only countries outside the USA I have been to are France and Canada. All those photos are years old and didn’t provide enough inspiration to fire me up. Instead of conceding defeat (which of course is a legitimate option!) I’ve chosen to warm our mid-February with images of the sun.
We know the sun doesn’t rise – that is the shorthand we use to acknowledge our earth has rotated through the night and now our sun is visible again on the eastern horizon.
In the same way, the sun doesn’t set – our earth has continued to rotate through the daytime hours and our sun will soon be eclipsed by earth’s western horizon.
It is a perfect harmony, an easy arrangement to life. It guides the behavior of all living things and is equitable; having no preference for one life form over another.

Wonderful photos for this week’s theme 😀 😀
Thank you! Sometimes I just have to “keep it simple!”
The harmony in this whole post, photos and narration is beautiful. It was such a great way to navigate a look from east to west via the sun. And funny, as you felt you needed maybe travel to inspire you, pretty sure you brought us all to the same place. Different time, but same place. This beautiful earth we ALL call home. I loved the thoughts in this Lindy.
Thank you, Donna. I am also a writer, love to create poems. Sometimes it comes through in my descriptions. I appreciate your thoughts very much.
You are welcome.
Such a beautiful post, words and photos, for this theme! Inspiring, indeed! East meets west from where you are, love it! Thank you for joining in.
Thank you, Amy! It was fun to narrow my focus down to the sun.
💖🙏
Enjoyed your post! “quiet statement of nature’s inherent beauty” ☀️
Thank you! It took me a while to come up with the theme, then the rest came easily!
I wish you had a telephoto. It would let you get closer. You are limited by your machine.
Hi Ralph,
I want to carry only one camera and I want it to be DSLR. With your prompt here, Creighton said I should look into what’s available, and I’ve started to look!
I hope you understand that I’m just trying to offer some hints. I think you’ve got a good eye. You may be a muscular shoveler, but you’ll do better with a big shovel than with a spade.
Gotcha! Always appreciate your feedback – it comes from a positive place 🙂
I’m glad you see that!
Great sunsets… rises… uhh… you know what I mean.
Yes, John. You and I are total sun addicts!
Lovely post Lindy. Personally I felt your emotion in the images and that is what really counts. Your use of the sun to make your point was perfect.
Thank you, Tina! In challenges like this one I realize how limited my archives are when it comes to travel etc.!
A beautiful post, straight to my heart.
Oh, good. Thank you, Leya!
