It becomes painfully obvious how much I love sunsets when I look at all the sunset photos I have taken. I will trouble you now with an entire post of sunset photos. Some are unremarkable, some are beautiful, but they all were taken over the course of two evenings at the same beach.
There are a few more photos that I want to take time with, to edit and make them into something really nice. I will post them as they are finished, but it will likely be a while.
I think it's safe to say that I am done with the Silent Summer. I have struggled to find my words lately and maybe I just need to start writing again. Maybe they will come back to me. I can't promise that I will have anything to say. I worry that all I will write are to-do lists and already-done lists. My storytelling mojo is still running low, but maybe I just need to practice it back up.
We are winding down this summer and school looms ahead, not just for the kids, but for me as well. Chris will be traveling a lot this fall and I'm not sure how this is all going to work but I know that changes are on the horizon for our family. My mind is resisting the changes and the stretching that it knows are in the near future. I am not focusing well and wrestling with the desire to keep things easy and to do only what I want to do, not what I need to do. That has never been a fight that I've fought well, but I need to try again. I am hounded lately by the knowledge that I can't do all of it. I can't do everything I want to do. Some wants will have to give sway to some needs.

The sunsets are beautiful. I wanted to see the beach this summer so badly, but alas, it was not to be. At least I can visit through your photos.
Ok, that last paragraph has left me wondering...hmmmm. I hope that all is well.
Yeah. I'm alright. I went back and read that and decided to take it out. Sometimes I write things that more belong in a journal than in public :) I just know that a lot will be changing and some of it will be hard to do, but it's all in exchange for new things that I hope will be even better.
Well, I can't wait to hear about it all :)
The photos are beautiful, It reminds me of Romans where God tells us in Cpahter 2 I think, that there is no excuse for man, the Creation of God testifies to Him as Creator. Your photos certainly demonstrate that.
I love a good sunset as well. There really isn't much in life that is better...except maybe a sunrise. Not sure which I prefer.
What I love about these photos is that you said it was the same beach and even the same two evenings. Yet, they are all so different. It just strikes me as marvelous that our God can do something so consistently and add so much variety into it at the same time. Makes me feel a little more normal when I see that side of my Faithful Creator.
I love a good sunset picture! Makes me wish I lived at the beach and could enjoy these every night. How could your day ever end bad?
Second sunset with Emma.....LOVE it. That one definitely needs a place on your wall. Um, and I couldn't find any unremarkable ones. ;)
Thank you, my sister :)
