Hill Country Sunset

Not every sunset in the Texas hill country looks like this, but this one was worth waiting for. Not just because of this beautiful view, which seemed to last for hours. Sharing those moments with my new bride while relaxing after dinner, sitting in old rocking chairs on a deep porch... how can it get any better than that?

Writers can toil for days to convey those feelings of peace, gratitude, and happiness that I felt as the sun disappeared that day. But I just look at this photo and it all comes back, like I'm right there on that porch again. All the magic, all the awe, all the happy tears. All of it, worth the wait.
