The Wandering Pyro

As I'm sitting outside drinking my morning coffee, the sun rays kissing my cheeks, and the cardinals, bluejays, and hummingbirds join me for breakfast, I feel a bit nostalgic for the summers of my childhood.

My childhood summers were filled with long days swimming in the lake, fishing for catfish in the evenings, and nights spent unwinding under the fans on the covered porch watching lightening bugs and listening to the chorus of insects.

As an adult, I miss having the months off to indulge myself in these enjoyments of nature. But that doesn't mean I can't still infuse my summer with fun times at a lake. Even if that means going to a state park instead of a relative's lake house.

This sunset piece was inspired by the simplicity of childhood summers.
