MADISON COUNTY SUNSET

Madison County sunset

Brutal heat diminishing

95 degree cold front

Pool deck at 6:00PM

Solar baked griddle

My son

Frolics with two older boys

Minnesota vacationers

Geography has no bearing

As the children play

“How’s that for a handstand”

I beam with fatherly pride

Phillip

Kind young gentleman

Tribute to his parents

“You may want to cover your eyes kid”

Preceded his perfect cannonball

“How can you wear jeans in this heat” he asks me

Amusing cultural nuance

Curiosity and satisfaction

Will grins as he masters the gigantic umbrella

Inverted canvas bloom

Pesky gnats swarm jubilant sweaty faces

Tangerine fireball in the western sky

Ignites periwinkle hues

As it slips quietly below the pines

Gentle humid breeze

Stirs sultry dead air

Birds lullaby as they settle in for the evening

Brilliant yellow daffodils

Enhance lush green shrubbery

Like neon crayons

Vintage box of 96

Hungry insects

Begin their nocturnal serenade

Nature’s sleeping pill

Hampton Inn

Our favorite

Oasis at dusk

Manicured excellence

Next best thing to home

Genuine hospitality

Southern style

Smiling staff

Friends

Welcome to my family
