Sunsets and Snowflakes
No two are alike. Each melts away in only a moment. One disappears as the sun slips below the horizon. The other evaporates when touched by the warmth of the sun.
Sunsets and snowflakes both turn us into spectators.
The sky changes colors as the sun sets, a beautiful end to a day. Sunsets have become synonymous with romance.
The first moment it is announced that snow is falling, people hurry to the window to look. Questions fill their mind. Adults wonder will it stick? How much will accumulate? Children wonder will school be closed? Whether watching with concern or in anxious anticipation, each snowflake makes us take notice.
Sunsets and snowflakes each are the substance from which memories are made. Here in Florida we have the most extraordinary sunsets. They are especially beautiful when viewed from the beach as the sun seems to slip into the Gulf. Equally amazing, in a wholly different way, is the sight of snowflakes falling here. A rare sight guaranteed to make the news (smile).
Sunsets and snowflakes....thank you Mother Nature. They are amazing.
