November Sunset


This was the sky I saw last evening when I went out to feed the critters: a contrast of dark clouds and brilliant red-gold against a gray sky.

Next year the big power lines will bisect this view. I'd better enjoy these sunsets while I can.

If I were waxing poetic, I'd say that life is like this sunset—a contrast of light and dark. Ominous clouds hang over our brighter moments, but brilliance shines through the gloom.

Nothing lasts forever.
