Yep, it’s another beautiful sunset. Last night’s sunset was magnificent; I could have watched it all night.
But this morning it was followed by an equally magnificent sunrise, which my hurried picture didn’t do justice:
The sun must be rising a little later, because it was dark when I woke up this morning. I don’t like waking up before the sun because it’s awfully hard to leave my warm, cozy bed behind for the chilly darkness of early morn.

Who doesn’t love endings? Well, okay, if it’s the end of a fantastic book, or if it’s the end of a particularly beloved character (still bitter), or if a relationship is ending, then I don’t like them. As the great Jane Austen once said, “If a book is well-written, I always find it too short.”
But today’s ending is more in tune with the circle of life. While it’s true that a circle really has no beginning and has no ending, life does (which makes “the circle of life” something of an oxymoron, doesn’t it?), and now that we’re well into fall, you can see endings everywhere.
Over the summer, my aunt took a picture of the kids standing in front of the corn that grows at the edge of our yard. She wanted me to get another picture of the boys in front of the corn this fall, but I kept putting it off, and the weather recently didn’t help.
I came home from work one day and discovered that…
Suddenly they all died. The end.
