You never know what there is in store for you!

I had an idea for a picture all day long and just knew that I would take it. No rush, I said, it is something I can take at any time of day. I took an brisk evening walk and then did some kick boxing which always makes me feel empowered. A good time to take a picture! I went to get the camera, which I had left in the car. Suddenly, there was a glorious moon in front of me. I toyed with the tripod for a bit, but couldn't get the moon picture I wanted. Turning to go back into the house for the real picture, I saw a tree in the backyard. Flashback: Yesterday, Mike and I did some yard work and he was pruning some trees and cutting down some others. It was wonderful to work together on the land which will someday be ours together. Seeing that simple little tree reminded me of yesterday and of us being together. So I took the picture. The tree, of course, is just a simple little ambiguous thing...but just behind it...
Just goes to show you that you never know what is in store for you and that we have to be thankful for the simple moments we share on this earth. I look forward to more of those days with Mike here.

The sky colors have been so vibrant and your photo shows what those sunsets look like in the country. Nice job.
