“O, Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.” -  Roman Payne

Seeing Double

December 19, 2017 (353/365)

"It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. The light constantly changes and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute." - Claude Monet

Keeping Things in Perspective

September 23, 2017 (266/365)

"Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative." - Oscar Wilde

Yet, maybe it's not a matter of imagination, but instead the need for a little perspective. Over 90º in late September is not ideal, but at least, we're safe from hurricanes, forest fires, and earthquakes.

August 10, 2017 (222/365)

"The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity." - Walt Whitman
