The sun crests, a molten slice of fire that gets bigger and rounder by the second. There is extraordinary beauty occurring; all she has to do is turn her head to see it, but she doesn’t. To admire is to slow and to slow is to succumb.

Notes:
I think we’re all grateful you slowed and succumbed to the beauty – or we wouldn’t get to relish this pics..
Me too Mimi! Thanks!
Amazing photo’s. That light must be a message. …there will be light…there will be beauty…just slow and it’ll surface.
That is the punch line Valerie.

Sleeping in?
No. Holidays. And sunrise is later on the clock!
My husband has been off since before Christmas and doesn’t go back until Tues. No fight or grumbling!
Nice!
The ultimate combo. Great quote matching these incredible shots. Are you slowing down a notch too?
I am. Not sure I like it Kiki but I feel my pace slowing. I do.
I’m glad. There is hope. If you continue as you did “before”, you’ll kill yourself. And we all don’t want that!
Right!
Lucky for us that you let yourself take it slow
Right. And for me too….
yes
I love that this forms an “i” … Goes with your title. Beauty!
