Sunrise, Sunset

Who doesn’t love a jaw-dropping sunset?  One minute you’re outside swatting a mosquito or thirty, and the next minute it is as though the Universe dropped a paint palette on the horizon.  Yellows, oranges, plums, and pinks saturate the blue-grey clouds and steal any hope of indifference.  My camera shutter made a staccato sound as I clicked away in sheer awe.  The only thing better is sharing the moment with loved ones.  Sure, we get gnawed on by bugs in the opening twilight hours, but what’s a few skin bumps when the heart has been opened?  As the scent of OFF bug repellent lingers in the air I watch the sky until the last bit of light fades into the hum of ever-hungry mosquitoes.  Sunsets and scratching, the best part of my day.
