Nature Posting: Sunlight
Today I didn’t feel like staying in the shade under the tree at my location so I went out into the sun and lay in the grass instead. Pretty much everything becomes beautiful when the sun shines on it. The sun brings out all the colors in an object. A blade of grass isn’t just green, it moves from a golden-yellow where the sun hits it to a deep blue-green in the shade just before it disappears into the earth. The same is true for the rocks on the wall. The sun makes then sparkle and their colors are brighter grey and blue and brownish purple. Lying there soaked in its warmth I feel like I could spend all day observing the way rays of sun fall across the earth and the patterns they create.
