I took this photo last night leaving a local diner with my wife and son, Ayden. We took him there for some celebratory ice cream for his 6th birthday.. A shocking and dazzling array of clouds formed as the late winter sun set.. it was unusually warm, it was actually quite beautiful.. And this image, to me at least, is a striking homage to small town America.. memories of childhood.. nostalgia of days gone. Simple times. Birthday ice cream..
And days that go by faster than a small twist with sprinkles melts in a dish..
Happy 6th Ayden.
