In Search of the Sun...

It was a cold and gloomy day today here in Podunk. We haven't seen the sun in several days.

This afternoon, about 2, I decided to go in search of the sun. By 3, I was sitting in a restaurant, eating lunch, and looking out at the sun sparkling on the river below. I was only about a mile, as the crow flies, from the entrance to Sequoia National Park.

By 4, I was in the park, taking photos:


I found the sun AND the moon!


The clouds coming in, reddened by the setting sun.


A 3/4 moon, through a barren tree....

As the clouds and fog started up the mountains, I headed back home. A short, but lovely, trip up above the cloud line had lifted my spirits. Things that bothered me, in the fog this morning, were gone. As the sun washed over the landscape, the worries and clouds were gone.

I am, indeed, a child of the sun....
