purple sunset

a purple-painted sky
(sunset at the lake behind our apartment)


Markie saved this photo from languishing, forgotten, in a deep and seldom-visited corner of our computer’s CPU.

For some reason, I wasn’t particularly excited about this shot when I took it, but simply saved it with all the other photos that I took on that particular day.

When Markie came across this pic while he was looking for images to use as his headers, he told me he thought it was quite nice.

I took another look at it and realized that, yes, it was quite nice. The soft purple tinge even reminded me somewhat of a Monet painting.

Sometimes it takes someone with a different point of view to show us the value of something we might have otherwise taken for granted.

Sometimes someone else’s fresh perspective helps us see things in a different light.

And sometimes we need to see things from a different angle to be able to make better choices, or a wiser course of action.

As you’re reading this, the hubby and I are in San Francisco, taking in the sights of the Golden Gate Bride, the cable cars, and the Metreon. (This post has been uploaded earlier, thanks to WordPress’s fantastic Advanced Publishing capabilities.)

Yup, we’re on vacation in one of the most historic and beautiful cities in the United States! How fabulous is that? :-)

And yes, we’re also taking this chance to see our U.S. adventure from a different point of view. ;-)
