A minor obsession of mine
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me
-They Might be Giants "Why Does the Sun Shine?"
I love the Sun as a design element. So this should have been a natural for me. Sally Russick announced this week's Focus on Life prompt: "Catch the Sun," and I should have pulled out all my Sun Themed Jewelry creations..... but while I have a collection of sun themed jewelry, most are not my designs!
But never fear, I managed to snap a few shots.
First, there's my Jewelry collection.

Sometimes you see the sun most clearly when it is shining on something far off. This was taken with my phone camera, while sitting in the shade of Lincoln Center in New York City. Buildings to the east of us caught the rays of the setting sun.
Of course, if you are careful, a glimpse of the sun can be beautiful all on its own.
Or behind the clouds.
The sun glistens off the leaves of an asparagus plant.
And lights up a milkweed.
