Sun shine

I spotted this plane as the sun was setting and the reflected shine on the plane made the it look like the plane was covered in light and the whole bottom of the plane had a distinct glow to it. Light has a way of reflecting so magically that you are drawn to an object that would otherwise seem ordinary.

Look for the sunshine

I enjoy passing this home on one of my bike ride routes because it looks like it's always smiling at me.

“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder, Writings to Young Women from Laura Ingalls Wilder - Volume One: On Wisdom and Virtues

Long shadows

My favorite time of day is when the sun is low in the sky. The colors are always so much stronger and I love how long shadows can be.

"Like our shadows, our wishes lengthen as our sun declines."
