The Wonder Of It All

Heading out to watch the setting sun,I am never sure of what I'll see. The sky may be spectacular, or not.There may be other sights that need to be photographed,or not.

Recently,while waiting for the sun to set,I was busy capturing beauty all around me.

A small bird,I won't even guess at the identification, was sitting on top of this rather large rock.The setting sun was already painting the sky a lovely soft gold,so it made a great backdrop.

OK,most of you know that I love thistles.Even an unopened thistle bud has amazing beauty. The low angle of the sun was creating a beautiful golden glow around this plant.

The grasses along the roadside were not to be ignored. Once again, they had a golden glow in the light of the setting sun.

Sometimes the beauty is not in the west, but in the storm clouds that have passed and are in the eastern sky.

The setting sun paints the storm clouds these lovely shades of peach and blue and purple.The colors defy description.

Just a few clouds on the western horizon, make for a stunning sight as the sun sets.

I enjoy watching the sun sets, each one is different,yet each one has some beauty.

Closing thought today is from the song "The Wonder Of It All"

There's the wonder of sunset at evening,

The wonder as sunrise I see;

But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul

Is the wonder that God loves me.

Refrain

O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!

Just to think that God loves me.

O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!

Just to think that God loves me.
