Golden Corona

Spinning orb of blue

Astronauts view bright sunrise

Golden corona

Emerging to heat the Earth

Plants await sun's nourishment

Congratulations, CArolyn. This was a good one. Be glad you did not write about a bird like I did. There were many awesome "nature scenes" depicted by these two colors!

love the first line Carolyn, I see that spinning orb of blue vividly! Best of luck in the contest:) Thanks for your comment on Sunday, March 6. Yes, it's end of winter angst. Rain more often now, either by itself or mixed with snow. It's the slush I detest!! Everything looks dingy and the snow's dirty...yuck;)) at least with the rain, the snow is disappearing somewhat!!
