Musing on the sun

Every nature photographer has his/her own natural 'muse'. 
The sea. The sky. The leaves. The hills.
But irrespective of their likings and interests, every photographer would cherish one natural entity in particular.

The sun.

How could one not?

Imagine a leisurely walk on a road. The sun is about to set. As you walk on the path ahead ignoring the sunset, a tree captures your attention. A tree not burdened by foliage. The leaves that are so sparse appear to be waiting for their freedom. And as you slowly walk around the tree, standing at a spot that enables a direct face-off with the sun, you get to witness something poignant. 


Something that makes you happily sad.

Like when you find your puppy seated silently near the doorway with a sorry face after having erased the rangoli drawn ten minutes earlier.

Like when you find your kid brother's sketches of Pokemon characters on your school laboratory record note the day before the practical examination.

Like when you find a fallen flower filled with light life.
