I felt this dread in losing the sunsets I took for granted coming. <br /><br />The last month I was in Arizona I made an effort to catch as many of the sunsets as possible. I would get outside as much as possible to see it set. Often I would get outside early and settle in with a book to watch the my world slip into darkness.Dan Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092635699523279386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-23625741364524060392009-07-16T08:59:09.096-07:002009-07-16T08:59:09.096-07:00*sniff*

Life was good. That was, of course, until the world started to close in around me. Heading east bound takes you away from that big beautiful sky where your view is always "as far as the eye can see" to a smaller and smaller world. It was well into Oklahoma when I began to feel this strange pressure around me. As I got into Arkansas and Tennessee I knew I had just made the biggest mistake of my life. <br /><br />These days all I have is that rare opportunity when I am in a high rise with an open view unable to look away from that brilliant beautiful sky. Come join the party, Jill. Come look at this email, Jill. We are on vacation Jill let's get out of this hotel. That all can wait. Look at this sky - it is so big I can feel it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15727490009285219390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-86967390751991914372009-07-15T22:07:56.500-07:002009-07-15T22:07:56.500-07:00Sometimes I take that big gorgeous sky for granted...Sometimes I take that big gorgeous sky for granted and other times it'll announce its beauty to me in the loudest voice it's got and I can't help but be thankful for where I live!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-89090015723492445992009-07-15T21:24:57.617-07:002009-07-15T21:24:57.617-07:00That is why the southwest is my favorite part of t...That is why the southwest is my favorite part of the states... the sky... the big sky.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366594184982014899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-74824316942350190142009-07-15T20:37:39.695-07:002009-07-15T20:37:39.695-07:00these are great photos kerry. i really have never ...these are great photos kerry. i really have never seen the sky like that before and now i understand better what people mean when they speak with rapture of desert views. <br /><br />p.s. i like floppy hats. i'm sure you don't look silly. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045263474658205499noreply@blogger.com
