Rain slips through the crimson hush a quiet undoing of all that clings. In each drop, the static dissolves, leaving only breath, and the soft song of beginning again #stunday ©️ #meetakwolff #eastcoastkin #photography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #thephotohour #PhotographersUnited #thelittlethings #nature

Fun sunflower fact: people think they turn to face the sun, and they do, but *only* as seedlings, until the flower buds open. After that they stay facing East (which is why all the sunflowers in this pic are facing the same way)

Stop the world, I want to get off. Let me float through the cosmos, into the stillness and bright darkness. Let me catch a ride on an ancient comet, finally get some rest, and return my borrowed atoms to the stars in which they were born.
