This week’s photo challenge is “The World Through Your Eyes”. A good photograph conveys the subject at the moment of capture through light, composition, angle, and imagination.
Have you ever wanted to preserve a beautiful sunset and save it for a rainy day or bottle all the beauty so others can see the world through your eyes?
I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. ~ Maya Angelou
Sitting on my favorite beach at Playa Gigante, Nicaragua, while sipping a rum, through the miracle of photography I canned the sunset. Here’s to savoring the sunset! If you are experiencing a rainy day in your part of the world, I hope you enjoy my canned sunset because no matter how bad it seems today, life goes on, and it will be better tomorrow.
As for the lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights…well… you’re going to have to figure those things out for yourself. lol
Someone said sunset in a jar, perfect! I want to thank you for being one of my strongest supporters for my blog. It means a lot to me. I also have a FB page that’s going as well. Sometimes short posts make their way there. If you hae a FB account, I’ld like to invite you there as well.

I know. That’s why I enjoyed your photo challenge, too.

Thanks, Kris.
I love that Maya Angelou quote! And wonderful post overall…I think we all would like to preserve beauty and/or happiness at times 🙂
Thanks, Christy. There is more of the Maya Angelou quote, but I only used part of it. It’s great to be able to preserve the beauty that surrounds us, right?

Great idea! Luckily we have no luggage, no Christmas lights and daily sunsets here! Even when the sun does not shine, the smiles of my Ecuatoriano friends brighten up the day.
Good thing you have no luggage or Christmas lights. lol How true about the smiles lighting up the days. 🙂
What a great idea. I may give it a try.
Thanks. I enjoyed canning the sunset. 🙂
