So lucky

Today was the first gorgeous day we've had in more than a week, and though I was inside at Safeway for most of it, I got to enjoy the last bits of sun on my drive to and from the gym this evening.
I was driving west on the Anthony Henday, past Sproule's farm, when I came around a bend and there was the sun, hanging above the horizon in the form of a fiery orb. It was so gorgeous that I couldn't even blink, I was so transfixed.
That sun isn't something I would ever have seen in Toronto, and I'm so grateful I'm here to experience that particular facet of nature's grandeur. I have to do something to commemorate my time here, especially now that I've purchased my ticket home (NOT TELLING WHEN! IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG SURPRISE!). I've been thinking about how I'm going to do that, and a few ideas have come to me. They're permanant ideas, reminders of this summer that will stay with me forever, and I'm hoping I can choose an image that will be truly worthy.

Any ideas? For those of you who have managed to wade through the cryptic nature of this post, email me your thoughts.

Did you use a different method of adding th photos to the last two segments?They came up as red x's in little boxes and I haven't been able to view them.

you have already manifested what would be my 2 suggestions:

1) take lots and lots of pictures esp of fiery orbs

2) put the camera lens down, breathe in the beauty through your own eyes, and then run home and put it into words...here!
