Into The Sunset ~

one of those
rare autumn evenings
 when attending
your grandson's football game
leads to more loveliness
as you wend
your way home
pure delight
in the golden beauty
of the day and its ending
*  *  *
We have more possibilities available
 in each moment than
 we realize.”

Oh my! The light is glorious Susan.
I miss high school football games. When our son graduated from high school, we sure did miss those friday night games.

Joyce, I was approaching the entrance of my driveway so I was stopped. :-)

You have crystalized all the wonder of the ordinary, which is in reality the extraordinary, so beautifully in your pictures; and then Thich Nhat Hanh's words underscore them so exactly.

Perfect! Thank you. x

GLORIOUS end-of-day sun, Susan... such beautiful captures. That last image, you can felt the molten-ness of the sun! Sometimes I wish it were possible to bottle up the special way the sun has just now at this time of year had open it on those dull winter days. ;o) Great to catch up with you! I've been offline a few days having some fun, just now surfacing! Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
