Unexpected Gift

 Last night I was able to photograph the moon at the elevation of eleven thousand feet at the top of Trail Ridge Road. Fortunately, the universe gave me two marvelous opportunities to experience moon and sun both at the same time. How wonderful is that? The past two days the Rocky Mountains have been covered with a smokey haze due to wildfires from Utah. Consequently, this haze has provided stunning images of sunsets along the front range. The particulates in the air given from the smoke, gives hues of reds and oranges as the sun sets behind the beautiful Rockies. The following image, the sunset, was taken a few minutes after photographing the above image of the moon. I think of the ying and yang of life as the moon on my left and the sunset on my right and finding the balance of life in the middle.
                  The best things in life are unexpected~because there are no
                expectations.
