It was finally time to say goodbye to Idaho and this was my parting sunset. It was as if Idaho was begging me to stay longer and enjoy the beauty just a few more days.
In fact I tried ignoring this beautiful goodbye sunset. I was out walking with my mom the last night we were there and I saw this beautiful cotton candy sunset and was trying to live in the moment and decided not to bring my camera to take a picture. Yet with each step it became more beautiful and vibrant - as if taunting me and my efforts to be in the moment.
My mom said more than once we could turn around and grab the camera but I wasn't going to cave that easy...or maybe I did. We had walked to the neighborhood behind my parents house and I ran up the hill to grab the camera for just a quick shot before putting it back down and running down the hill to be with my mom again. I'm glad I captured it. I usually come home from a summer in Idaho with picture after picture of beautiful sunsets, but this is the only one I captured this year. And its even sweeter because its my goodbye sunset.
As hard as it is to leave vacation world, it's also good to be home. Although I think I might claim tomorrow a vacation day as well - that 17 hour drive is exhausting and I'm not ready to face laundry, grocery shopping or any of the other stacks of things I should attend to. Nope. Tuesday I'll get to it. Or Wednesday. I bet it will still be there waiting for me on Thursday as well. Decisions. Decisions.
