Happy Independence Day!

 Here in  the USA, today is Independence Day.  To be clear, I'm happy I live here. This is a country that has given me many opportunities to excel and succeed. However, not everyone has had the same experience. I can do my best to empathize with them and do my best to understand.  It is unfortunate that we are now so polarized that we have lost the ability to respect each other's differences. My wish, this day, is for us to become more understanding and respectful, so that our independence will be more profound.

Quote of the day: "It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." - Albert Einstein

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
