September 9

Being in place for observing sunset is a real treat and inspiration. Although it was a cloudless evening, the closing colors of daytime were showing themselves to be striking. There is something about sunsets and sunrises that gives me perspective on my life. They remind me of my minute size in the big scheme of life and how little worry or fear matter. These bookends of a day do remind me of my treasures which I hold dear and are irreplaceable. I am so grateful to be reminded of the importance of what truly matters in life.

This image was from the southern edge of Stanley Park in Vancouver. It was a gift to be here with my husband and enjoy the beauty and serenity of sunset. In this image I used the person on a bench and tree to give it additional meaning of perspective and value.
