Day's end

This is the sunset over the rooftops across the street from us, I took the photo from my front yard. As it often does when I see a beautiful sunset, I hear this song in my head, from John Denver:

Well, I'm weary and tired, I've done my day's ridin'

Nighttime is rollin' my way
The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fading
Peaceful and still ends the day
Out on the trail night birds are callin'
Singin' their wild melody
Down in the canyon cottonwood whispers
A Song of Wyoming for me

(Of course, we're in Texas, not Wyoming.)

  2. Really beautiful. Ah, I miss John Denver! I don't mind that this song is now in my head and I'll be singing it all night to myself!
