Sun Setting on the Lone Tree

I went for a long walk Wednesday evening - to clear my mind. I found beauty in the Lone Tree as I watched the sun set.


See the shimmers on the very bottom of the photo? The sun is glinting off dandelion puffs - the only time I appreciate those dandelion seeds.

They reminded me of this photo I shot four (wow!) years ago - at the end of April, during sunset:

So surreal....

Back to the Lone Tree... which started to burn like tears in my eyes...


Until the fire ebbed, the sun dipped ....


Gone, The Lone Tree left in the ashes of the day ...
