The sunburst
Of a summer sunset;
Long rays of sunlight
Lay flat on the sky
While clouds dance on golden lake —
And, finally, liquid honey
Transforms a humble thistle
Into a magnificent creature of light.
For more happy sunbursts, please visit: Skywatch.
I’m always in love with sunsets. 🙂 Amazing shots there!

I love when sunlight is transformed into a deep, thick honey color. Also, when the shadows begin to lengthen, heralding the coming of sunset.
The thistle seems to have turned into a new-born bird – a marvelous transformation indeed!
