Sun 2/52

It is a little difficult right now to do this with that this week is all overcast,rainy and down right gloomy but I took the most recent sunset I have which is in Dec of 08. It is taken behind my house, now that the leaves are all gone off the trees you can see the lake quite clearly. I really loved this shot. But I do say sorry about the age of it. I know we wanted to post ones that So myself and Jen agreed that was close enough. =)I found this wonderful poem on an awesome blog called IT"s JUST HOW I SEE THINGS. It is here on blogspot and you can get to it by going to my favorites on my personal blog. I think her sister wrote it or a friend. I just loved it!!! It makes you just realize that no matter how long it has been since you have seen each other, or spoke. The distance might be feeling farther than ever. But you still can experience one thing together everyday. You see the same sun, the same moon and stars. They are all bigger than we are. So hopefully that will always make us feel tied together.


We may not
be able to see
the same
sunset,


But we
get to see
the same
sun
set.

Sunset taken on the Las Vegas Strip 2007.

I chose sunsets for a particular reason. To me sunsets are symbolically Bittersweet. They are the beginning of the night and darkness that soon follows and gradually shifts into a new day. A new start. A clean slate. When a day is long and overwhelming a sunset means the pain and suffering will perhaps come to a conclusion. A sunset means things may not always follow you into the next day. Negative things in your life may be able to rest when the sun does. You clench on to hope and dreams of tomorrow with all of your might and when that sunsets you hope when it comes back up... so does your faith, your luck, your spirits. When tomorrow arrives things may be easier and things may be less heartbreaking. The task at hand is to then not waste energy in the promising new day with worries of yesterday. Use the new day as a start to move on and up when things are looking down...

Sunsets can mean one of the best days of your life is coming to an end. The sun is winding down to end the day and it can be saddening to end it when you are having the time of your life...Tomorrow may no way compare to the day you have now...

It is Bittersweet in the way you may be praying for a new day and that sun to set...Or the way your may be holding your breath about the present day wishing it would last forever... JJ
