Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA

Summer soltice is my birthday – a child born to light. Yet, aren’t we all? The discipline of photography is to continually observe light, an endeavor each one of us can cultivate. I was strolling in Golden Gate Park with my beloved cousins and their Bernese mountain dog, when, across the street, the elements of light came together. I dashed across the street and snapped the photo you see here. For my birthday, I gift this photograph to you and send you out to dash toward radiance.
