December 9

When I saw the sun streaming through the clouds, I pulled over to capture a shot illustrating my gratitude at finally coming home after an afternoon full of errands among holiday season crowds. I hate crowds. And I'm not particularly fond of shopping. I am grateful for that winter sunlight. It was a lovely coming home gift after braving both.

I'm also grateful for the unintended lesson in lens flare that I googled after downloading (look carefully at the bottom middle for the tell-tale rainbow).
