Seeing double…
A sun dog reflected in the lens,
And one swimming in the molten sunset of the last golden days of September.
(I entered this photo in a competition recently and was very surprised to see it on a page of its own in our local newspaper.)
The true pleasures in life are simple: a friend, a stunning sunset, a humbled spirit.

By the way, these photos (and more) are available on my new Red Bubble site. (Red Bubble is where you can share or buy art, photos, writing.)
