It is once again time for my Friday feature of guest photography. This week I searched for the very best sunrise and sunset shots from the Photographers of Etsy. It was difficult to choose only six. There is some amazing talent out there in the "Etsyverse." Be sure to visit each of these wonderful galleries by clicking on the shop name or the photo information link. Enjoy the show!
According to astrology some of us are ruled by the sun and some by the moon, not to mention many other planets. The sun is hot, dry and masculine in nature; whereas the moon is associated with the feminine and dark energies. There are sun worshipers and folk that like to howl at the moon. We have early risers and night owls. Whichever group you prefer I hope that my photographs bring light to your day or your night. Tell me which of our celestial bodies brings out the best in you.
Sleepy eyed I peeked my head out from under the warm covers. A rosy glow was painting the ponderosa pines outside my window a lovely blush. I slowly crawled out of bed and grabbed my robe. On my way to fix coffee I noticed that the room was flooded with the early eastern light casting pink glows and purple shadows across the room. Fortified with a cup of coffee I threw a coat on and ventured out into the front yard. Last year's dried flowers were pushing up from under a blue blanket of snow in the soft pink light of sunrise. I hope you like this wintry picture too.
For me hope rises with the sun. I can not help but feel renewed when I see our beautiful star rise above the horizon. And even though I have seen many sunrises they are all different. Every one. Some are soft and innocent like a newborn, while others are bold and full of explosive energy.
With so much fear and despair in our world I offer hope that with each sunrise we have a new day to do better and be better. Go for it!
